Pros:

Loved our stay at Birding cottage. The location is beautiful with verandah on to the rainforest. The food was absolutely delious and very plentiful. Lovely staff helping with driver, rainforest/bird watching tours and answering our questions. Not too many mozzie or insects to deal with. Mostly very quiet and peaceful.

Cons:

Would have loved to have mozzie nets and screen on door or windows to leave open of the evening. Ended up having AC on and off during the night.

Top plek en goede voorzieningen
Pros:

De gids (voor de tours in het Tangkoko NP) die het via dit resort de tour had verzorgd was erg goed. Wist veel. Respect voor de natuur en de dieren. Dat kan je namelijk niet van alle gidsen zeggen die in park lopen.
Kamers waren schoon en comfortabel. Avond eten en ontbijten waren uitgebreid en heel goed.

Cons:

Helemaal niets!

Pros:

Our one-night stay at the Birding Cottage was a wonderful experience in every way. From the hosts’ heartwarming hospitality to the outstanding, freshly prepared meals (we had breakfast, lunch, and dinner), everything was perfect. The room was spacious and air-conditioned. We were also provided with a very knowledgeable guide who was attentive to our needs.

Pros:

The accommodation was clean and the host was very pleasant. Although we had a public power blackout of the whole town, they did all their best for our stay. Moreover the cooking was fresh and nice. Even the visitation at the Tangkoko national park was perfectly organised and our guide Patrick performed superb while spotting the wild animals.

Cons:

No mosquito net around our bed.

A memorable rainforest stay near Tangkoko wildlife.
Pros:

Staying at the Birding Cottage in the rainforest is a special experience, with lush vegetation and unique birds and animals all around. Ardy, the guides, and the rest of the staff are fantastic. The entrance to Tangkoko Nature Reserve is only about 1 km away.

We did two rainforest hikes in Tangkoko, and our excellent guides managed to find crested macaques, spectral tarsiers, Sulawesi bear cuscus, and endemic birds, including Sulawesi hornbills and kingfishers. The guides had high-quality telescopes, including phone attachments, which allowed us to get some great videos and photos.

The open-air dining and lounge area on the property is very spacious and comfortable. We had all our meals onsite rather than going to any restaurants, and the food was excellent. Our cottage was basic but had comfortable beds, a spacious bathroom, and good air conditioning. The front porch of the cottage is elevated and feels like a tree house in the rainforest.

Cons:

Guests should expect hot, damp weather, along with all sorts of animal noises and assorted bugs. After all, the property is in a rainforest. The bugs were not a problem in the dining and lounge area, and our insect repellent seemed to do the job on our hikes.

Some members of our group of five, all in their 60s, struggled a bit with the heat and humidity. But the minor discomfort was well worth it for the chance to visit such a unique place.

Sehr tolle Unterkunft die noch tollere Touren anbietet ;)
Pros:

Wir hatten eine richtig tolle Zeit im Tangkoko Birding Cottage. Da wir zum ersten Mal eine Birding Tour gemacht haben, waren wir besonders dankbar für unseren Guide Joakim, er war unglaublich geduldig, wusste extrem viel und hat die Tour spannend und gleichzeitig entspannt gestaltet.

Auch die Unterkunft hat uns super gefallen. Unser Zimmer war groß, sauber, hatte eine Klimaanlage und eine gemütliche kleine Terrasse. Und das Essen war auch ein echtes Highlight. Drei Mahlzeiten am Tag, immer abwechslungsreich und richtig lecker, mit mehreren Gerichten pro Mahlzeit.

Das gesamte Team inklusive des Besitzers war sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit, sodass wir uns rundum wohlgefühlt haben. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen und können einen Aufenthalt hier absolut empfehlen.

Cons:

nichts

Sofort wieder, 3 wundervolle Tage🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Pros:

Alles, die gesamte Anlage ist wunderschön. Man kann super auf den kleinen Balkon entspannen und dabei den schönen Blick in den Tongkoko NP genießen. Das Frühstück und Abendessen wurde jeden Tag frisch von der Eigentümerin zubereitet. Es ist ein familieärer Betrieb und alle sind dort super nett und freundlich. Ausflüge in den Tongkoko NP haben wir direkt über das Hotel gebucht. Es hat alles super geklappt. Auf jeden Fall die Morgen und Abendtour machen. Wir hatten als Guide Patrick der uns super bei beiden Touren durch den NP geführt hat und alles versucht hat uns alles Tiere zu zeigen und hat nebenbei viel über den Park und der dort lebenden Tiere berichtet. Ein super netter und toller Guide. Danke Patrick. Und jederzeit wieder in die Birding Cottage Lodge. Sie ist mehr als 10 Punkte wert. Auch der Transfer von Flughafen hat ohne Probleme über das Hotel geklappt. 🤩🙂👍

Traumhaft
Pros:

Ich hatte eine wundervollen Aufenthalt in dieser direkt im Dschungel an einem Bach gelegenen Unterkunft. Der Tangkoko NP ist ganz nah und die von Ardi vermittelten Touren durch den Nationalpark waren großartig. Die Verpflegung war außerordentlich gut!
Ich komme gern wieder.
