Bustan - Bar-On Fritidshus

Smadar and Amit
Since our marriage in 1981, we had the joy of living and raising our family in this special place, Ben Ami. Bar-On Holiday Homes are situated close to many interesting sites of northern Israel which one can easily explore on day trips. Places like the blue grottoes at Rosh HaNikra or the old city of Akko. How about enjoying the beauty of the Mediterranean shore or relaxing at an outdoor café along the boardwalk of Nahariya? The property is also in close proximity to the Nahariya train station where there are direct trains to Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport.


Both Smadar and I are graduates of Hebrew University. Smadar received her Master degree in early childhood education. She is presently a consultant for Education teaching and directing educational teams. Smadar recently wrote and published a book entitled “Plato in the Nursery” which outlines an innovative way to raise children. I am Amit, an expert in the management and analysis of computerized information systems, and the owner of an outsourcing consulting firm for local authorities and municipal bodies called Meniv Hachnasot Ltd.

We have raised two wonderful children, Noa and Gilad, who are now grown and have gone off in their own directions. Noa, a professional photographer has captured some of the uniqueness of Bar-On Holiday Homes on the photos posted on this website. Smadar and I would love to share this beautiful part of this country with you. We look forward to meeting you in the near future.

We host guests for weekends and short stays, as well as for longer periods. Visitors whose relatives are hospitalized at Nahariya Hospital, doctors who come to work for regular periods at the Galilee Medical Center, or the families of dancers in the Kibbutz Ga’aton International dance village, have all enjoyed extended stays at Bar-On Holiday Homes- Nature & Culture.
