“Personalised and caring Tongan hospitality at its best!”
The owners/operators were the the most welcoming and friendly hosts, providing all information about attractions, customs and catering for every need. The breakfast had local tropical fruit and I especially loved papaya. It was not a hard question for me to answer if I would stay at this property again, as I did come back and stayed another two nights after flying to the outer islands and before my international flight back home. Communication with the hosts was always very quick and useful. They also understood very clearly what foreign tourists might need or require, preempting some of my questions with very informative explanations.

“Simple, friendly and comfortable lodge”
Friendly and homely atmosphere - like stepping into someone's home. The facilities were adequate and the bedroom upstairs facing the road was light-filled and well ventilated. The family were very helpful and flexible with our stay given limited bookings at the time. Breakfast of a boiled egg and fresh local fruit, and a small store next door to buy water, top up and imported snacks.

“Good value for money and great host”
Selena was extremely kind and helpful got all queries, and helped get me to the ferry port for 'Eua early in the morning, as well as helped me hire a car for the day. Lots of fruit for breakfast and space if you wanted to keep some food in the fridge. Nice little garden/patio area to relax. No air con but a very good fan in the room.

I liked a lot the welcoming from Masio. The small Manger of this Homestay. And also the Breakfast with everyday fresh fruits from the Island i appreciate. The Rooms are well cleaned how is possible. And also the Support from all people they look for the accommodation was so beautiful. They help when they can. To be honest you on an Island. But some Magic in the air of Tongatapu.

“Dayspring Lodge is worth the stay”
The owner and her family were wonderful and very hospitable. The brekkie was a nice assortment of local fruit and toast. She arranged for a ride from the airport with a nice, local man. I definitely recommend this place.
