Bungalows in White Sands

The location is amazing! You hear the Volcano and can see the glow at night! We had the opportunity to sleep in the bungalow with a direct view to the Volcano from the bed, the tree house was also amazing with a nice breeze at night PLUS there is a toilet at the top! Really cool and handy at night. From the village we could see the river and dense forest, Mike, family is really welcoming and they will always ensure you are happy and enjoy your stay. Sam was driving us up and down to town and the Volcano, he is a very skilled driver!! Lena and her daughters cooked dinner and ensured we felt comfortable at all times. I will definitely recommend Castle tree house to anyone that wants to experience the village life. We stayed for three nights and highly enjoyed it. TIP: We were not sure if we could get to the Volcano entrance by foot. But you definitely can, it takes about 1h.15min (15 min drive)

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 )

We had the most wonderful time with John, Véronique, Becky and John-Marc. They went out of their way to make it such a special holiday for us. My husband and I went there for one week and every day we discovered more of the island, the people and how they live. John can arrange every activity you want and we could decide that spontaneously in the morning. We went to the volcanoe, to the Yakel tribe, to a local english school, to the village nearby, to the local market and even cooked Simboro and Laplap with them. John also accompanied us on every trip and gave us additional informations and he even speaks the language clik, so he could also communicate with the people of the Yakel tribe. Every evening, after dinner, John made a fire at the nearby fireplace to enjoy the rest of the evening. When you want to see the real Tanna you definitely have to go to this place.
