Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Isaka

Couldn’t have asked for a better stay in Tanna. Susie and Morris + family were great hosts super friendly and always arranging activities for us to do. The volcano view is amazing especially at sunrise. The place was kept clean and organised, but manage your expectations as it is a no-thrills accommodation (wood hut, bed with mosquito net, cold shower etc). Susie’s meals were filling (1000vt lunch and 1200vt dinner). Communication beforehand was also good despite the remote location. Though I personally had internet signal the whole time when there. Come prepared with power banks charged (the solar power was unreliable on cloudy/rainy days). Or take advantage to disconnect! Be aware the costs add up once you’re there so plan your cash well before arriving! - Volcano entrance + return transfer 11750vt. - Traditional village (really worth it!) - 2000vt. - Local (small) waterfall and volcanic ash exfoliation - 1000vt. - John Frum Village (Friday nights, really recommend!) - 2000vt return. Airport transfer 1 way is 2500vt pp (or 5000vt if you’re the only one). It takes almost 2h on the back of a jeep and is half road, half super off-road 4x4 dirt track adventure! It’s fun but bring a plastic poncho for if it rains! They’ll stop briefly at a mini market for supplies (get bottles water for your whole stay!). Overall, we had a lovely stay and would love to return one day, with some forward planning and managing expectations for remote places it’s a great option to explore Tanna’s most unique attractions and cultures.

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.

Charlie is a very good host , knows everyone on the island and can arrange , tours , flights to accomodate any of your needs . He and his family were so hospitable , it was the highlight of my stay on Tanna to stay with them , they have a beautiful beach just 10min walk which the village children love to play in , the water is crystal clear . I love the hut it’s a tradition style and the food was beautiful , organic and fresh which his wife makes over traditional wood fire . I highly recommend staying with Charlie and using his tours . Not to forget Tom his driver who knows his stuff when it comes to four wheel driving through the volcanic ash plains and rivers to get to the top of the volcano . ( Charlie is a math teacher at the village school , supplies are limited on the island so recommend brining some stationary , pens , crayons , books ect )

Really great place to stay on Tanna, our host John was one of the friendliest persons I’ve ever met. He really welcomed us with open arms and organised everything we wanted to do on the island for us. He showed us the real original Vanuatu 10/10

Excellent location, great snorkelling on the reef in front. Hosts helped organising blue cave tour and airport transfer etc. Basic accomodation but everything you need.

Very friendly family, very exciting experience to live in a tree house. Simple conditions, but it’s enough to feel the hospitality. Volcano trekking was fantastic!
