Family hotels and homes in Isaka

Best experience and time on Vanuatu!! Mike and his whole family go above and beyond making your stay a real „once in a lifetime adventure!“ The bungalows offer an absolutely amazing view of Mt. Yasur and during the evening you can watch the volcano spit red ash into the air! The food was absolutely delicious!! Thank you so much to Lina for preparing delicious meals where you can choose between a vegetarian and non vegetarian option! Sleeping inside the tree house is an experience and adventure on its own! We definitely recommend staying at least for 2-3 nights to also enjoy the beautiful surroundings! There are no other tourists around for miles! The drive from the west coast or from the airport to the bungalows are a crazy adventure and totally worth paying the 5000 Vatu (2500VUV if there are more than one person) - you need 4x4 Drive to get there - it is literally impossible to get there otherwise - you will cross rivers, volcanic ash, lush jungle streets! Just Amazing!! No other drivers will take you there so just pay the 5000 Vatu and let Mike or his Dad Sam come get you. Don’t stay at any of the fancy resorts on Tanna - if you really want to experience an amazing and authentic time in Tanna then you should definitely stay with Mike and his family! Would stay there every time!

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.

The staff were exceptional. All - from senior management downwards. The drivers were particularly good and impressed us with their skills on difficult roads.

excellent location, rooms clean, nice meals, great staff, highly recommended.

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.
