Perfect location 5 minutes from volcano gate. Owners are very helpsome, kind and informative. Lovely garden.

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.

White Grass Resort has a great location on the western beaches of Tanna - perfect to watch sunset with a drink during happy hour. The grounds are beautifully kept and the rooms are very comfortable. Airport transfers, snorkelling gear, kayaks, pushbikes and breakfast are all complimentary. Breakfast was amazing and it was easy to organise tours and activities. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our flight back to Port Vila was cancelled at the last minute and the staff organised alternate flights that day for all departing guests with Air- Taxi. You pay a premium for the accommodation but when staff are able to make a significant issue like a cancelled flight seem like a mere blip it is worth it.

Wonderful setting on a beautiful beach. Not far from airport and most tours/trips are Reasonably accessible. The staff I met, Becky & her cousin, were kind and helpful
