    The best relaxing holidays we had in years!

    We've spent such an amazing and relaxing time at this place! Every single piece of our stay was just perfectly pleasant - from communication both before our arrival and during, through amazing location just meters away from the ocean, to the extraordinary maintenance of our bungalow. I would also like to point out how helpful and kind was Priscilla - she went above and beyond to accommodate my request for a vegan birthday cake, which was a surprise for my partner. Thanks to her we were able to spend remarkable birthday and had one of the tastiest brownie cakes in our lives - kudos to the baker! I can't stress enough how welcomed we felt there, we hope to come back to this oasis! One note for future guests - this place is a bit remote making it a perfect location to unwind (around 15-20 minutes walk to the nearest amenities and a bus in the village), which wasn't a problem at all for us because the road to Pango village was beautiful itself. Just be aware that if you're not a fan of walking you can rent a quad from Priscilla and Mia or a car in the city :)

    Loved the location as well as how peaceful and safe it was. The studio has everything you’ll need - beach towels, kitchen things, even laundry detergent. It was really clean and was kept clean throughout my ten day stay. I hope to be back again soon!

    We had a great stay. The bungalows have everything you need, everything is new and in good condition. It also a perfectly equipped kitchen, it was possible to cook variety of dishes. The location is a longer walk away from the main road, so we would definitely recommend a vehicle to travel around and do groceries, access restaurants and all the like. A quad is available for rent at the house. Also, you are surrounded by a beautiful, well-maintained garden with access to the beach from two sides. It feels like a private beach, as there hasn't been anybody else for days. We can't assess the surf conditions, as there is a reef located right in front of the beach and it seemed a bit too dangerous for us to try. But we saw surfers and good waves there, so it is definitely possible, albeit a bit more challenging, we reckon. The staff is amazing. The communication was great and they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We forgot to buy toothbrushes and messaged the owner later at night, 5 minutes later toothbrushes and toothpaste were brought to our bungalow by one of the staff. We honestly couldn't ask for more! We would highly recommend staying there.

    Can't think of anything really.

    Amazing location. Quiet with secluded surroundings and secret beach. Far better value for money than resorts around Port Vila. Very comfortable beds plenty of space. Helpful staff.

    Fantastic location for seclusion and surfing. Has everything you need. Even without a car it’s only 800m walk to the main road and then you can get a local bus. We absolutely loved staying here and would highly recommend to anyone to get away from the hustle and bustle or who surfs

    We booked the 2 bedroom apartment surf 2 for us and the 2 kids . The place is very well maintained and clean. The bedrooms are separate by the kitchen and lounge, which makes it very practical with the kids on their side. Everything was up to standard hot water, washing machine, well equipped kitchen, starlink wifi 💯 coconut soap ........ The surfing 🏄‍♂️ spot is just in front 🥰for the early morning sessions.👍🏻 close to town 15 minutes and a few restaurants in the nearby. , very quiet place. 🥰for meditation and yoga by the beach.

    Hot water was a little inconsistent, but we always got it going in the end - Mia was going to replace the hot water unit to rectify this. Be aware of the possibility of aggressive dogs in the wider area

    Great location right on the water at the end of a point. Surf on one side of the point, and more sheltered for snorkelling on the other side, with an impressive amount of fish and some coral. Mia will tell you the best places to go. The room was bright and breezy, not many people around, quiet and peaceful. It's within a gated estate that never took off so there is heaps of empty space. Host Mia in the house nearby was super helpful with advice and anything we needed, including rainwater from her tank and veges ftom her small vege garden. Also to take us into town if she was going, otherwise it was an easy bus ride. Not far from Breakas resort which has an amazing beachside restaurant with good food for dinner and sunset and cocktails - 15 minutes walk down the beach, or 20 minutes down the road.

    It was perfect!! The house is amazing, super new and clean, just like in the pictures! Beds are comfortable, everything is good quality and brand new and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. The details are well taken care of, and there is room service everyday, they are very attentive and really care about their hosts. The property is big and super quiet, there are only two apartments so really it is a place to relax, perfect for 4 people in one apartment or 6 in the two! There is a private beach in the property good for snorkeling when the tide is high. The villages nearby are safe and the locals there very friendly. You feel safe and at home, and the hosts really go the extra mile to make you feel so!! Thank you so much!
