Staff were lovely!

Eden on the River is generally a place which many go to on day trips. Staying there and having full access to the river was amazing with virtually no one around in the morning or afternoons (Before/after the day trippers). The river is gorgeous and excellent for swimming and exploring with the kids. The home is spacious with lovely living area looking over the lush green gardens, all the way to the sea in the distance. The home is only rated 3 stars so don't expect luxury, but it is a great wholesome home to relax and unwind. The resident dogs (Snowflake, Rosa & Whinny) will make you feel at home and are super friendly. It is located out of town so best to take supplies with you to cook for dinner etc. The onsite café is open from 9 to 4, but there is no real dinner option nearby.

A few mossies but mosquito nets and mosquito zappers help as well mosquito repellent and mossie coils.

The house is large, comfortable beds, great kitchen and laundry. Beautiful location with river access to go swimming surrounded by lush rainforest. Can walk around and see the sheep and pigs with their cute piglets. Playground and bbq facilities. Cafe can provide food and bbq packs to purchase. Lovely staff. Great toasted sandwiches in cafe. Friendly dogs to walk with you to swim in river.

Felt like we were an inconvenience for asking to do our complementary activities. Super limited menu if you have dietary issues so make sure to bring your own food. Snake in the bathroom. No cold water. LOTS of mosquito's but they have repellent

Staff are nice enough, comfortable sleep, kitchen is good to cook your own things which we had to do as they had no gluten free options for my coeliac partner. Outdoor shower was nice (still no hot water) despite seeing a snake behind our mirror at one point. Tonnes of dogs and a cat were very pleasant. The dogs love the house so they stayed and chilled with us at the house for some time. It's very far from anything else in port vila however the location next to the river is awesome and so beautiful.

Was a little more rustic than what I thought from the booking.com page. But I was also comfortable with that. Bedding a little damp. But wet season and most (not all) accom I stayed at was like this.

Chilled out vibe in the middle of nature. Good people and cool spot. People went out of the way to help.

Such a peaceful and relaxing place. Accommodation has everything you need, including utensils, pots, pans etc for the kitchenette. You have full access to the river to enjoy anytime and the staff are so lovely. A great place to stay and we will definitely be back!

Dogs, lots of them . Dogs barking all night until owner who was off shore got message and got sorted. Accom is pretty basic. (2 x containers) ..no comfy place to sit... no outlook.. no bedside table BUT an affordable spot on the Blue Lagoon side of Port Vila,

There were no keys provided, no way to lock your room.

The lack of communication. We asked for days about how the payment would be processed as we didn’t want to pay card as we knew there would be a massive international fee. They never answered. The booking page stated cash was ok. We withdrew cash on purpose to pay the accommodation and they decided to charge our card. We lost 80 Australian dollars in fee plus lost another 20 Australian dollars while changing back at the airport the money we had taken out to pay the house in cash. This is not ok. And they weren’t apologetic at all.

It’s an amazing property, and the house is gorgeous.

The place has everything you need if you are not chasing luxury. It offers various activities and natural waterfall, which was surprisely warm

The photos misrepresent the unit we had booked. The accom is in a shipping container with just a couple of pedestal fans. We heard that the larger accommodation is a big improvement

The river is amazing and the staff are very kind. We couldn’t stay due to the shipping container accom feeling like a sauna, no screens to keep out mosquitoes and wasps, no lockable door, etc, and the owners kindly refunded and organised paid transport to another accommodation

Amazing scenery and genuine, friendly hosts. John, Joe, and Millie helped us feel very welcome and gave us lots of great insights into local life. We also loved the dogs Rosa and Snowflake who kept us company throughout our stay!

We had a lovely stay at Eden on the River. We stayed 2 nights and could definitely have stayed longer. The cooking experience was great and my older kids loved trying some authentic Vanuatu food. Lovely friendly staff, beautiful gardens and river. River tubes and rope swing was very fun. My kids loved the friendly dogs. Beautiful bowl of fresh fruit to enjoy in the accomodation. Mosquito nets over beds worked well. Loved exploring the river - gorgeous setting
