Friendly managers and staff. Went out of their way to help. Beautiful location.

We had the most wonderful time with John, Véronique, Becky and John-Marc. They went out of their way to make it such a special holiday for us. My husband and I went there for one week and every day we discovered more of the island, the people and how they live. John can arrange every activity you want and we could decide that spontaneously in the morning. We went to the volcanoe, to the Yakel tribe, to a local english school, to the village nearby, to the local market and even cooked Simboro and Laplap with them. John also accompanied us on every trip and gave us additional informations and he even speaks the language clik, so he could also communicate with the people of the Yakel tribe. Every evening, after dinner, John made a fire at the nearby fireplace to enjoy the rest of the evening. When you want to see the real Tanna you definitely have to go to this place.

Nice place. Beautiful view to the ocean. Good snorkeling in Blue Hole 2

The hotel boasts a delightful environment, filled with comfort and a warm atmosphere. The carefully designed interior space and elegant decor create a homely feeling for the guests.

Castle Tree House is set in a spectacular location, looking out at Mt. Yasur volcano. The scenery is lush, with a river flowing through the valley. The family organised all of our tours, including to the volcano, kastom village and hot springs. Sam was an excellent driver, navigating some tough terrain. I would highly recommend this experience and visiting this part of Tanna.

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.
