Dolidi Ndano Towale

Top choice in Central Sulawesi


This beautifully designed place has lovely lakeside cottages in a wonderful location on a sandy beach. There's a jetty for waterside drinks and a fine restaurant with sweeping views, and the manager is extremely informative and helpful. Tours of the lake and national parks can be arranged. It's 6km south of Tentena, down a bumpy access road hugging the lake.

Profits aid the orphanage next door (no visitation allowed).
