Hotels near Ikounap

The tree house was a great experience with an amazing view on Mount Yasur. The environment is very nice, close to the river. Mike, his wife and their kids were nice to us and on time when coming to pick us up at the airport. Mike’s wife was cooking for us every evening and was really taking care of us, even if the food was not very good. The room was rudimentary but clean, and the small balcony with the view on the volcano was really great. Tour on the volcano is expensive but really worth it. However, don’t expect to have any explanation from the volcano guide. Just bring a nice camera :)

Staying at Tanna Lava View Bungalow was the best part of our trip to Vanuatu. Getting there is an adventure in itself. After multiple stops in town to get supplies and pick up other passengers we were on our way across the island to the Bungalow and volcano. The steep road over the mountains is sealed but once across the island the road becomes a rutted dirt track for the remainder of the journey. To get to the bungalow you have to drive along creeks, cross ash plains and travel on some very interesting tracks - especially after rain. The bungalow is located up the hill above the village of Isaka and the view is AMAZING!. You can hear the eruptions from Mt Yasur and at night you can see the red glow above the volcano. It was incredible to wake up to a loud boom and see Yasur glowing and to watch the sunrise over it. The bungalow is a thatch hut with straw mats on the floor and basic but comfortable bedding. There is only limited solar power for lighting at night and cold water in the shower. The location gives you some privacy from the village yet is close enough to wander around at your leisure. We felt safe and comfortable during our stay and only shut the door to keep the roaming pigs out. Daniel and Chela were incredible hosts. Communication from Daniel ahead of our stay was quick and friendly and he was so flexible in meeting our changing requests for activities. During our stay Chela was so warm and welcoming. Dinner and breakfast were local fare and very tasty. We really enjoyed talking with her about her village and life on Tanna. As others have said in previous reviews - this place is not a resort. It is "rustic" and there is still damage from last year's cyclones. If you have a sense of adventure and enjoy camping, authentic village experiences or appreciate a slower and quieter existence then give this place a go.

Breakfast was great and the room comfortable and clean

Alofa, as its name suggests, is located on the beach and is near local villages. The accommodation is basic, but has its own special charm. Our local hosts, Glen and his sister, were very kind and helpful. While the menu options were limited, Glen's fried chicken and chips were quite decent. We really enjoyed swimming at the local beach where the locals swim. More luxurious resorts offer more comfort, but we felt we experienced the real Tanna staying at Alofa.
