Venture Hotel - Dili
The Venture Hotel is on the road behind Lita’s supermarket on Rua Filomena De Camara (there are no street signs in Dili) in the area of town known as Bidau Lecidere.
It’s in a quiet location one street off the beach road underneath some big trees providing cool shade and a nice atmosphere.The bar is roomy and comfortable and the restaraunt serves good food.
Nene, the manager, throws a killer all you can eat bbq every Thurs nite. It is the best value in Dili.
There is a tv in the lounge and some comfortable couches and chairs.
Most of the rooms are modified containers.
The singles and doubles have shared bathrooms.
The ensuite rooms have their own bath. There is a pool and jacuzzi with a wood deck and lawn chairs to relax on.
A big excersize area is available up the stairs. They have some weight machines and barbells for fitness freaks.
The bar is down stairs for those that prefer to do their repetitions with bottles of beer.
They offer different packages depending on the length of stay. Laundry service and breakfast are included in some of the deals.

my apologies - but most of the info on my East Timor section is from 2006 and is a bit outdated.
The “dutchpickle” East Timor section is more of a glance at what it was like in East Timor in the year 2006 through the eyes of a backpacker. I was hoping that travelers would add a few updates but no one was interested - sorry.
cheers

My information on East Timor needs to be updated because it is all from the year 2006, but I don’t think that I will make it back there to do it.
It was an incredible time there in East Timor but time marches on and I now live in the Philippines - where I plan to stay.
If anyone has any fresh info to add it will always be welcome!
cheers

Hi, I just came across your website and noticed your request for an updated comment. I stayed at the Venture last August(2009) prior to and after the Tour de Timor mountain bike race,and the Independence Day celebrations. I was in the country looking for alternative places to paraglide for the Oz winter. The Venture hasn’t changed any judging by your photos. All up I stayed there for two weeks. Even senior UN police stayed there.Clean,safe and with a pleasant ambiance is how i would describe the hotel. The first time that i visited East Timor was in late 1970,It had a great deal more ambiance then when the esplanade had massive banyan trees on both sides of the road with interlocking branches. I would like to remind visitors that this is a country under reconstruction and that patience is often required when dealing with a damaged community. This is not Bali. The Timorese people need a lot of help, they are a warm, friendly and undemanding people. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other enquiries. Regards Tony. PS the town center is a 15 minute walk to the west from the hotel.
Hello Tony,
Your input is greatly appreciated - thank you.
cheers
