The next accommodation of our stay in the Togian Islands National Park was called The Cliff and is located on Malenge Island.
Early in the morning, we set off with a taxi boat and were already curious about what awaited us in Malenge.
Because here you couldn't comfortably browse all accommodations on Booking.com in advance like in Europe.The Togian Islands are a bit different. Since there is hardly any cell phone reception here, accommodation bookings are handled by an agent on the mainland via WhatsApp and transmitted to the operator families. So our selection was based solely on the location on GoogleMaps with 10 reviews.
One thing is for sure, we were not disappointed! We walked into a beautifully located palm-fringed sandy bay, known as Sera Beach. In "The Cliff" there are only 4 bungalows, which are managed by the very nice Sifa and her family. The view from the dining area and our bungalow was simply incredible. Right by the sea with a view of this bay, which almost reminds a bit of the South Seas.
We were able to enjoy 3 nights here. Relax, read, snorkel, enjoy good food, what more could you want?
These 3 wonderful days were rounded off with a bonfire by the sea, where the operator family sang some Indonesian songs especially for us. We also met a nice couple from Canada, with whom we had good conversations during meals.
