“Beautiful place to stay if you have a larger family, or enjoying with extended family.”
Location is great. It has some of the best snorkeling we have seen in Vanuatu. The place was clean and tidy and comfortable. It is very well maintained considering the elements of Vanuatu and difficulties obtaining parts and materials. It has a nice sized solar system to keep you powered up. The outdoor area near the ocean is lovely. Aklid was very lovely to talk to and she helped out when we asked. It doesn't take long to get to the accommodation. The pet parrot, Penny, was excellent entertainment for our kids and they loved to play with her. There were sufficient towels for swimming and showering and sufficient bedding. Overall this is a lovely place and I would definitely recommend it for large families wanting a place where kids can play, swim, relax and enjoy the island. Starlink internet is provided - Excellent for those who want or need to stay connected.

“Paradise”
Very secluded place, but very beautiful. The house was well equiped and has everything you need. Make sure you bring food from main island, as there’s no shops on Aore. Place was so peaceful and the water is beautiful. Snorkelling was amazing. Aklid is amazing, she’s very caring and will answer all your questions.

This is the perfect place to stay. At first, I was a bit disappointed it wasn't closer to the resort so we could walk there for meals, but it took me only moments to realise how wrong I was and this place was a hidden gem! This gorgeous spot has the most beautiful beachfront with some incredible snorkelling. It was just bliss. Getting to the resort for some of our meals was still accessible and easy, as our hosts could drop us off and pick us up for a small fee. I am so glad I brought over some food from the main island; I wish I had packed more because there were great cooking facilities! If you are bringing kids, make sure you bring some card games, soccer balls and other little things because you won't want to leave!

Fantastic experience in a beautiful location What a beautiful place to unwind. It felt like we had our own private waterfront where we could swim or snorkel while exploring the stunning coral reef. I couldn't believe how crystal clear the water was and what a perfect temperature it was. If we weren't in the water there was a lovely sheltered deck where we could sit and have drinks or eat while looking at the beautiful water views. Alternatively we could explore the gorgeous rain forests on the island without having to worry about snakes like we do in Australia. Our hosts were so friendly and accommodating. Lovely people who made us feel so welcome. We loved the bungalow we stayed in. We can't wait to come back although we will have to wait a few months as they are booked out for a bit.
