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.

nothing it was exceptional

The property is in a beautiful position, alongside gorgeous rock pools and stretches of ocean. The rooms were great, the food was yum, the water was hot, and the property is well maintained, with gorgeous greenery. Also cute cats. Theres a swimming beach a couple minute walk to the left of the rockpools if you want to dip, but overall, impressed!

The wifi is only limited to the reception, and it is rather slow, however it’s great if you want to be off your devices and relax in nature!

We enjoyed the location (going to the beach, watching local’s life, visiting the school next door). But the best were John and Veronique that were super friendly. They also helped us arrange transportation to the volcano. The food options are limited but always great! Veronique really makes it look great too. The breakfast was plenty and yummy. And we enjoyed the bonfire at night.

The room might welcome a little maintenance (door and shower curtain) but overall we were satisfied! It might be a good idea to add something to put or hang clothes.

Little gem, the host John and Veronica were great and hospitable. The bungalows are very neat and clean with hot water and a fan. Veronica does a lovely job of presenting breakfast nicely and putting flowers around the rooms. The gardens are immaculate! The village is a short walk away along the beach and very interesting to visit. The beach in front is rocky but there are little pools you can swim in. A great stay!

Amazing staff, accommodation was comfortable and they also prep meals and help plan tour activities. We had a few struggles during our stay but the hosts were always quick to resolve any complications. I would highly recommend Alofa and would happily stay here again, Tanna is very remote yet the value for this place was exceptional 10/10

Can't complain :)

The location is great, the family was really nice and welcoming. The bungalow was beautiful with a comfortable bed and a small terrace. You can reach the beach in a couple of minutes. Dinner is limited, but affordable and delicious - the owner prepared it for me after hours as I got back from my tour later. Breakfast was also nice, you can additionally order Tanna coffee.

Becky and Glen were absolutely lovely, so helpful when we had an issue as soon as we arrived and great throughout the stay! The bungalows were right by the beach, spacious and had private bathrooms which was a luxury too! Definitely good value for money and really enjoyed! Breakfast was also included, simple but tasty and filling.

The sea was a bit difficult to get into at lower tide due to the coral but Glen directed us to deeper spot which was better. Dinner could have been more varied but was still good.

I LOVED staying here and didn't want to leave. Veronique and Jean-Marc are really friendly and worked hard to make my stay really enjoyable. The breakfast is included and all food was really delicious. The gardens are beautiful and the setting by the beach simply wonderful. There is free wi-fi. It was a wonderful place to relax. You can get there by bus from the airport if you don't have much luggage but the position of the bungalows is slightly wrong on google maps.

No complaints, everything was great.

I had a lovely stay at Alofa. The property was very well-maintained with a beautiful garden directly on the beach. The staff were kind and helpful, food was excellent, and it was such a quiet, peaceful location. Thank you Alofa!

Lots of bugs in the room, but the room has bug nets for the bed. No shops or restaurants within walking distance but they cook meals on site.

As we were travelling on a budget and keen to meet the locals Alofa Beach bungalows was the perfect balance of comfort and friendly hospitality. Simple, relaxing and authentic looking bungalows with ensuite, running water and hot showers. The host were lovely and ready to help with whatever we needed. The food was nice. Pancakes for breakfast :) The bungalows are near a long stretch of coral strewn beach typical of Vanuatu and close to the local village. Perfect alternative to the resorts if you're after a more authentic experience.

Good tip is not to bring food into your bungalows as it attracts little animals ;)
