    Could’ve been cleaner in the shower/bathrooms as a minor improvement.

    Really enjoyed our stay here! Cosy hut with a view out to the beautiful water edge. Staff were friendly and helpful and we had tasty sustaining meals. Diving was amazing! Saw hawksbill turtles and so many kinds of fish and corals.

    It was very hot at night and a fan would've been welcome to help me sleep (though I appreciate this may not be possible on solar power).

    The staff were helpful and engaging. Special shout out to Taso for the delicious meals. Moso is beautiful and I enjoyed the snorkelling trip out to Owen's Beach. The resort has a very relaxed vibe, and the amenities reflect that. It was fun to sponsor and name a turtle.

    value for money. I understand the concept of a simple accommodation (no electricity, no water), but it should come with a simple accommodation price.

    A spartan retreat on a stunning little island.

    Still recovering from the last cyclone, the cottages require a healthy injection of funds for repairs and upgrades. That process has begun, but one gets the sense it will take some time. Considering the above, it is a bit over-priced.

    Moso island is lovely, and this place the perfect retreat there for kayaking, hiking and snorkeling/diving. The kitchen provides ample and tasty food, and the staff are kind and helpful.

    Water for drinking did not really do the trick for pampered taste buds.

    Superb tasting meals were conjured in the jungle. The house reef was quite nice with moray eels, turtles, sea snakes, puffers and the usual reef fish. Healthy corals are always a joy.

    Need to replace the mattresses on the bed, and new pillows. Larger mosquito net would make it easier to avoid contacting it and being bitten through the net. Fare 7 could do with cleaning up the access to beach in front of the cabin.

    So relaxing! snorkelling and kayaking was great. The local chef was skilful and creative. Eating area facilitated meeting other guests. Coffee was great.

    The owners need to spend money on fixing lots of items, i understand covid has made income minimal last few years, but basic upgrades on the resort are needed, shower heads corroded, more water sprayed over wall, toilet seat was bad, mould smell to room as moisture holds to side wall of villa, bed was good size but mattress was a foot short, so either our pillows fell off or our feet hung over, the sheets needed proper washing, stains were not great Really expected to Dive each day as its a dive resort, left as they were all booked, so no point in staying

    Great Eco resort, very environmentally friendly - great turtle rescue, amazing snorkeling right in front of the villas, staff are great - super friendly and happy to assist - boat ride over daily if needed & bus to town, great atmosphere

    I think food options for people with special dietary requirement has some room for progress 😊 Be careful of the Fare (house) structure. Sometimes, it is hidden behind roof leaves and you can bump into it if you do not pay attention.

    This is not a resort for everyone but such a relaxing place. I liked the calm, the fare (house) next to the water literally you walk 4m and you’re on your private beach and feet in water. I liked the ocean sound during the night. The staff has been amazing and what the owner did of this part of the island is just stunning. If you want to be nearly secluded from the world for a time with just the nature and few staff and guest, then this will be your ideal destination. Dive and snorkelling is amazing there. In short, I LOVED it 😊

    Wonderful, peaceful oasis not far from Port Vila. Marie in town and then Thomas and Douglas on the island made the stay memorable. I felt looked after. Diving with Jerry was fun, even has a not experienced Open Water Padi. The trek across the island to Fred's, a cute Robinson Crusoe beach, was relaxing. I stayed in fare 3 and it was stunning with lots of air flow, a hammock to chill and always fresh flowers for decoration to make you feel like you are in paradise. The food was plenty and carefully decorated. The perfect place to kick back 3-5 days.

    the real Bonnie Doon
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Standard Bungalow - Beach Front
    • Stayed 6 nights

    The major downside for us was seeing how the owner (Owen) and his best buddy (Stan) treated the local staff members. Rude, obnoxious, tight, unappreciative, belittling, penny-pinching, smug old dudes. Any suggestions or variations are denied just because they don’t like change. No repairs or upkeep has been done in years. The staff work 12+ hour days and some stay on the premises. No amenities allowed, half the roof blown off and they’re permitted to eat whatever the dogs don’t and some bread. I do not joke. Early one morning, Stan called out that a light had been left on at our Bure overnight and he was coming down to turn it off. I replied that we were still sleeping (1 woman, 2 children), he then ENTERED OUR ROOM to turn the light off. When confronted, both he and the owner justified his actions as being totally acceptable. Like, what now? Again, I do not joke or embellish. If this is how they’re treating paying guests, imagine how they’re treating staff! I can think of many 4 lettered words appropriate for these two Australian people.

    Tranquility, serenity, peace. This is the real Bonnie Doon. 30 minute ride from airport, 15 minute boat ride to island, then peace. Dolphins, dugongs, turtles, fish and coral galore. Straight out from your Bure or within a short walk. No car noise, no street lights, only sounds is from other guests or the lapping ocean. Thick black nights = maximum star gazing. Take the time to get to Fred’s Beach. It is spec-tac-ular. Ask the kitchen for a picnic lunch as you’ll need to spend hours there. 75 minute hike, private beach, crystal clear water, deep coral, little cave to explore. You won't want to leave. The best part is the tour guide, Boots the dog. She will take you there, stay with you and guide you back (take some water for her as there’s no fresh water and she won't leave until you’re done.). There is nothing luxurious about the living quarters at this resort, it is very basic. Do not come here if you’re a sook. 4 hours of electricity, 1 wifi hot spot, dinner is placed in front of you and it’s that or nothing (which removes all the thinking about meals and you’ll be famished). Lots of walking and sightseeing or you can chill out in a hammock. Reef shoes and a torch are a must. One highlight is attending meals with the other guests and comparing what you’ve each discovered over the day. Some great connections made. Diving can be arranged twice a day, snorkelling and sunshine all day. The staff are gentle, kind, hardworking and will do whatever they can to make your stay better. Be kind to them, bring them gifts as they deserve all the love. The new manager, Evante, has some great ideas for small improvements – like the bonfire! A great evening for everyone. Hopefully she’ll be given some leash unlike other past managers who have burnt out inside 2 years. FYI – she loves talking about horror movies and we happened across a dolls head on one of our walks. We may or may not have scared the crap out of her by putting it on the well. Pure gold! Love you, Evante.

    Had a wonderful stay at tranquility for the weekend. Many hours spent snorkelling, paddle boarding and kayaking. Some beautiful reef and the water was loaded with turtles. The food was yummy and such a luxury to have breakfast lunch and dinner cooked for you. Maddie and Finn were very welcoming and friendly and gave us plenty of advice on what to do. Would highly recommend a visit.

    Marie and Finn are, besides being talented and professional dive instructors, generous, kind, spontaneous and interesting people who made our experience memorable! The fares have everything you need, are very private in such an idyllic surrounding - ocean at your doorstep and an absolutely stunning oceans views and sounds. Gorgeous reef and dive sites, beautiful bush walks and beaches Thomas and Douglas are the best chef in Vanuatu - mention special for the coconut crepes, they cooked lovely meals and looked after us well. Best experience in Vanuatu - just the whole package of beautiful scenery, ocean at your doorstep, snorkelling, scubadiving, turtle sanctuary, Marie & Finn and their team and the beautiful food. We will definitely come back and hoping to catch up somewhere in the world with Marie & Finn again
