Big thank you must go to the team at Tamanu for making our Vanuatu trip a special one. It is a beautiful location, literally right on the beachfront, set away from the hustle and bustle of Villa. A special thank you to Virginia for helping organise our tours/transfers when we arrived and an extra special thank you to the bar/restaurant... More

We stayed at Tamanu on the Beach in April 2012 for 5 nights. There is nothing at all negative to report about this magical place. The location is amazing. If or should I say when we return to Vanuatu I would not consider staying anywhere else. The cottage was very comfortable and falling asleep to the waves each evening was... More

We went to Tamanu for a very quick return trip for the wedding of my step daughter on the 27th April. We were dreading arriving at Bauerfield Airport at midnight. Would the transport be there? Have no idea why we were worried. There to greet us was Seth, with a big smile and a warm handshake. Made us feel like... More

We recently spent five glorious nights at Tamanu. The plantation cottage style rooms were beautifully and appropriately decorated, all with magnificent ocean views. The bed and pillows were amazingly comfortable and the outdoor shower gave you much privacy whilst still giving you the exotic sensation of open showering whilst listening to the waves crash upon the shore. The rooms were... More

We travelled here for lunch, we found the meals were overpriced and average and the beach at low tide is rocky. The outlook from the bungalows was nice, it is well suited as a honeymoon destination.

The flight from Brisbane was great, just over 2 hours. The drive from the airport is fine, bit bumpy but nothing really. Plenty of things to see and lots of happy, smiling faces and children waving and crying out hello!! So, from the moment you enter the grounds of Tamanu on the Beach, it's like entering another world. Beautiful blue... More
