"Morris, Susie and their family were so welcoming and really looked after us. The location is something else and you can just sit and watch the volcano and listen to it rumble for hours. Our bungalow was basic but comfortable, and it was nice to be able to switch off for a couple of days and experience the local village life. You share meal times and the overall experience with the other guests which was also really nice - met some wonderful people. Morris also organised outings for us to the volcano, local village and to a waterfall too which were all amazing. Will definitely be back!"

"This is an authentic local experience that provides an opportunity to live like a local, but high above the jungle canopy in a hand-built treehouse. It is perfect for adventurous travellers wanting more than western-style accommodation with the odd hibiscus flower… this is true Ni-Van lifestyle immersion, right under an active volcano, in the midst of authentic villages, with people who will move literal mountains to make your stay memorable. And memorable it will be! Not suitable for elderly or very young travellers die to height of the treehouse, but adventurers unite! This place is all heart and soul, and hosts Philip and Suzanne are the beating pulse connecting it all. We arrived as strangers but we left as family. Highly recommended. "

"A truly adventurous and unique experience. Stay in the middle of the Vanuatan rainforest in either a bungalow or treehouse on a property with Mike +family. Mike will help organise every aspect of your time there, from your pickup from the airport to any tours you want to go on. His family will cook all your meals and advise you on exploring the forest around their home. You are deep in the jungle, (requiring a 4x4 to get there), with everything that entails. So expect very basic facilities, though on the plus side there are no dangerous snakes or spiders in Vanuatu. All the people in the surrounding villages are very friendly, all the children will want to meet and play with you. The views over the volcano are spectacular and the property in a short walk from the river and the volcano ashfield. Tours included vsiting caves, hot springs, kustom villages and the volcano. Overall it felt a very safe, welcoming experience that I recommend to anyone wanting to escape the coastal resorts and see how many people really live in Vanuatu. "
