Extreme hospital family. Mike and his family offers a once in a lifetime service and experience. The local meals were delicious. There are heaps of activities or tours they offer or you can also go on a walk for yourself to the ashplanes. There is also a cold river to swim in at a 7min. walk. Fantastic views from the treehouse or bungalows to the volcano. The treehouse is basic, but with a seperate flush toilet, a wonderful balcony with fantastic view to the volcano and three beds inside, a queen size double and a single. Both were installed with a mosquito net. Light is provided the whole day by solar energy. The shower is located within the tree under the treehouse, in the "first floor", an outdoor experience.

Charlie is a very good host , knows everyone on the island and can arrange , tours , flights to accomodate any of your needs . He and his family were so hospitable , it was the highlight of my stay on Tanna to stay with them , they have a beautiful beach just 10min walk which the village children love to play in , the water is crystal clear . I love the hut it’s a tradition style and the food was beautiful , organic and fresh which his wife makes over traditional wood fire . I highly recommend staying with Charlie and using his tours . Not to forget Tom his driver who knows his stuff when it comes to four wheel driving through the volcanic ash plains and rivers to get to the top of the volcano . ( Charlie is a math teacher at the village school , supplies are limited on the island so recommend brining some stationary , pens , crayons , books ect )

Joel and his famile are the best hosts! So friendly, warm and welcoming. They can help you arrange airport transfer, visit to the mountain, cultural village, cannibals, etc. All at great prices. They can cook lunch and dinner for a small fee and provide free water all you can drink. The treehouse is amazing with the best view. Location is great and very close to the visitorcenter and the ash plane (15 min. Walk). You can even see the volcano from the balcony and hear it’s roar. We were their very first guests and really enjoyed our 2 night stay. They are working hard to improve everyday but the basics are in place. However, there is no electricity so bring a full powerbank and a headlamp.

Great property. Right on the beach. Very well maintained and the family that run it are very friendly and helpful. We were coming from spending two nights in a tree house near Mt Yasur volcano which had no electricity and running water. From there to here with electricity and hot water it was an amazing feeling :) the restaurant has some great food too and an amazing breakfast spread.

Except breakfast, everything else was good.

I couldn’t wait to write this review as soon as I returned to Sydney. Robort and his family were incredibly friendly and helpful. They assisted me in arranging all my trips, including how to get to the treehouse, transportation to the airport, booking flight tickets, visiting the volcano, and even took me to the celebration. When I didn’t have enough cash to buy a ticket, Robort kindly helped me cover 600 Vatu—I’m truly grateful for that. His daughters were also adorable and guided me through the local tribal culture. They were all very patient. The condition of the treehouse was better than I expected. While it’s inevitable to see some small bugs, I didn’t encounter any rats. The treehouse is located right opposite the entrance to the volcano, just a two-minute walk to the ticket office—very convenient.

Daniel and his wife Chella were incredibly welcoming and lovely, and facilitated all the trips I wanted to do. They had arranged airport transfer and sorted trips to the volcano, giant banyan, Yakel village. The food was amazing and the bungalow was incredibly comfortable with the most beautiful views of the volcano. Loved it so much wish I could’ve stayed longer

The location is absolutely fantastic with beautiful views. The garden is really great, beautifully lush. The rooms are incredibly beautifully decorated with an eye for detail, each with a fantastic terrace or a balcony. Privacy for each room is guaranteed by the clever design of the entire accommodation. The grounds with garden and orchard are great to walk through. There is a path down where you can easily enter the water to go snorkeling in calm water. Such beautiful coral with its even more beautiful fish, you're in a real time aquarium! The restaurant is open and very spacious with absolutely the best food! Every day another menu is really awesome to choose from. The owners/ managers and staff are very friendly and very helpful to arrange everthing you would love to do. At the end of the day the staff made a fire in the firepit to enjoy the sunset with a drink, just before dinner. The managers arranged all the excursions that we wanted to do and took care that everything went according to plan, wow! To experience the volcano from so close is a super special experience and great that we saw, felt and smelled that. The route to it through the ashplanes was absolutely amazing! Yakel village was also a super special experience with beautiful people. Also a visit to the banyan tree was magical! A tip I want to give, go to the website to read all the excursions you can do on site in advance. So that you know what you want to do when you get there and can book directly to optimize your stay. We absolutely loved Tanna and loved our stay at the Resort and whished we could have stayed even longer!

Very nice location with great wiev over the reef and ocean. The owners are very nice and very helpfull, they will assist you in all ways. Highly recoment this place for its small and cosy family run getaway.
