Vacation rentals in West Tanna

The treehouses are walking distance to the entrance to Mt Yasur. Fantastic location! There are 3 treehouses and the one in the pictures is the best one with the best views. You may not get this treehouse as it depends on who has already arrived. The communication isn’t good - virtually non existent through email so I’d suggest you txt and/or call Robert to confirm the details of your stay. You should also confirm the transfers to and from the airport. We paid Vatu 7500 each way for the transfer whereas other singles paid 2500. The food is really good considering - lunch was 700 and dinner 1000. Rice, eggs, curried vegetables and chicken for dinner. The entrance fee to the volcano is 9750 but is most definitely worth it! There is a hot spring river that goes onto the beach nearby which was a good outing for us. Cost 1000 pp. Keep in mind this is very basic accommodation but it’s wonderful in many ways. The people are so friendly. You will sleep with wind blowing thru the trees and rumblings from the volcano. Be prepared to be woken by roosters throughout the early morning - eg from 3am. A really interesting and memorable experience!

K Nelson took great care of us, he is always willing to educate about the local culture and the organization of the activities offered on the island.

It has been a fantastic stay! Since it is located right next to the vulcano, we just went up after I wanted to (2 times: evening and sunrise). They also had some good ideas what else to do. But since this is a really remote island, this may include a 2h walk (and it's pretty hot). It has been great to experience this authentic lifestyle, but it's of course no wellness trip. Getting to the island was a bit confusing at first, because Air Vanuatu can only be booked via phone, email or at the counter currently. They welcomed me at the airport and drove me to their place (which costs in total 5000vt but is also the only option). Thanks again for the great 3.5 days!

We really loved our stay with Tom's family, they made us feel very welcome. You can get a dinner at the little restaurant they run (or used to run as everything is currently very quiet with no tourists). The place is so beautiful with a little beach you can swim in where all the locals go. The kids are happy to play with you, and Tom's daughter, Sarah was so friendly and showed us around. It's all a bit rundown with no tourists revenue, so you have to be okay with that, and we were aware of that prior to coming, having travelled Vanuatu for a couple of weeks. Water and power is intermittent (still a luxury on this remote island we think). Contrary to the other reviews we didn't encounter any rats. Currently Tom is locked out of his Airbnb account, so unless that gets sorted, the communication might be tricky, be mindful of that. Also the phone number that shows on the account is lost. We just showed up, and they were unaware of our booking, however ever so welcoming. Thank you.
