“Cozy and warm stay!”

Very quiet place, and amazing view from the bglow.

“Rural volcano stay”

Daniel and his wife went out of their way to be helpful and organise everything we wanted to do. We really thought Daniel’s entrepreneurial spirit was very admirable and we loved he had made his dreams come true! We really enjoyed meeting them both and hearing more about their life on Tanna. The property is closer to the volcano than the resorts in town but is still a little drive away. We stopped for volcano photos on the way which was great. Daniel told us he provides for the village which is an indicator of his warmth and kindness. The buildings themselves were amazingly constructed!

“The location is remote and takes about 1+ hour drive from airport, while it’s great experience to see the local views an”

Hospitality from owner, organised transfers from and to airport, home made breakfast, great volcano views from the room.

Perfect accommodation if you’re looking for a very remote and cultural experience. View to Volcano is stunning. Lovely staff, specially Daniel organising tours and Gela cooking delicious breakfast and meals. Hope to be back in the future!!

“First time we've ever felt kidnapped while travelling”

Was pretty special to see the volcano from our balcony window. The room was clean.

“Rustic and atypical accomodation with amazing view”

Amazing view on the volcano Home made meals and good hospitality from owners Atypical

“Favourite stay ever”

Daniel and his wife Chella were incredibly welcoming and lovely, and facilitated all the trips I wanted to do. They had arranged airport transfer and sorted trips to the volcano, giant banyan, Yakel village. The food was amazing and the bungalow was incredibly comfortable with the most beautiful views of the volcano. Loved it so much wish I could’ve stayed longer

“Great nature, lovely people, good food and great views.”

We had such a great time! We went on so many lovely tours, met great people and really enjoyed the local food. Highly recommended.

“Good food, and the hosts worked hard to give us good experiences. I'd deffo stay here again.”

Not really a criticism, but try to stay in the upper bungalow can you, as it's views of the volcano at night from its balcony.

“Happy for the experience.”

View of the volcano.

“Authentic and humble experience with views to the volcano”

The family that runs the accommodation is lovely, very helpful, they cook nice homemade and very fresh meals. The views from the room are amazing you can see and hear the volcano all the time. The cabin is very cute, but very basic. Daniel and his wife are lovely. All their family is

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.

“A cultural immersion - well looked after by Jella and Rose”

Perfect location for volcano viewing in simplicity with the local community and the natural surrounds

“We went to see the volcano and thanks to our amazing hosts the whole experience was indescribable and awesome. Thank you”

We expected a jungle experience and that is what we got and we loved it. Daniel and Chella were the loveliest, kindest people, as were the amazing drivers.

“A jurassic park adventure”

The view of the volcano is exquisite. Couldn't be better view. Right at the edge of cliff, viewing the mountain. It's is surreal, and feels like being in a dinosaur period, with Volcanos and deep jungle all around. The village is 100m down the road, and you can immerse yourself in true Vanuatu jungle village life. Hens and small piglets roaming around in search of roots and other food. People doing their daily work. And everyone very welcoming. The beds were good, and we all had a mosquito net around, although there weren't any mosquitoes. We had running water in the sink and shower, and it was visible that the conditions we had were better than in the village. The owners really made an effort to give us anything we asked, whether it's vegan food, lighting, and transportation.

“We booked, had confirmation & had contact right up to the day before our stay. We had arranged we’d do the volcano”

We didn’t even see the property. Despite having a confirmed booking and written confirmation & contact up to the day before, we found upon what we thought was arrival they were overbooked
