Family hotels and homes in Loanengo

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.

It was an unforgettable experience! The bungalow in which we stood had the most beautiful view I've ever seen. Mike and his family did our best to feel well received. The food was delicious. When you come here, you have to expect a genuine experience and a living in the jungle. You must really be lovers of nature. Mike has organized a beautiful trip at a reasonable price to Port Resolution, white sand beach and to the volcano Yassur. You can reach a short 10-minute walk to the river and about 30 minutes to the volcanic ash field. The road is easy and very beautiful. We felt all the time safe. It is the best accommodation if you want to sleep close to the volcano. We would like to go back. Thank you Mike!

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is only a couple of minutes away from the airport which is super convenient. I booked tours separately but they also offered these directly which can get you to all the key locations around the island.

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.

We had such a great time! We went on so many lovely tours, met great people and really enjoyed the local food. Highly recommended.
