We booked for one night but as soon as we saw the view from the balcony of our bungalow, we decided to spend the rest of our time in Tanna here. The location is stunning, perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking a valley of coconut palms, a John Frum village and Port Resolution. There's a variety of accommodation... More

We had an en-suite room and would recommend this to anyone else. There's no hot water in the en-suite rooms, but it was so warm that that wasn't a huge detraction. The bathroom was huge! If I were designing these bungalows, I'd make it a bit smaller and increase the size of the main room. There's battery backed solar power... More

We stayed at Island Dream Bungalows for 4 nights in Sept 2011 with a group of 10 friends, including our young children. The bungalows were a great base to explore Mt Yasur and other attractions around Port Resolution. Sam, Nancy and family were great hosts and made us all feel welcome. The food was all local and fresh (papaya, grapefruits,... More

Island Dream Bungalows facilities are pretty much as described by previous reviews. The complimentary breakfast of local fruit, toast, butter, jam, and Tanna coffee was great. The food for lunch and dinner were all local and fresh and lovingly prepared by Miriam from the village just over the rise from the bungalows, and the cost was very reasonable for Tanna.... More

We went to Vanuatu for 10 days and spent 6 in Port Vila and then 4 on Tanna staying here. We were the only ones staying and felt like we were part of the family. Ev eryone was very welcoming. Our tree hut was clean and comfortable and remarkably sturdy even in rain and wind. The hot water was sadly... More

We spent threenights at Island Dream - a good amount of time to see the volcano and the local villages without rushing too much. Like the other reviewers this is a great local bungalow. Not in any way fancy - but fine for what it is. The food was excellent, was great to enjoy the local cooking. My partner and... More

It may be a two-and-a-half hour drive from the airport but it is less than 30min from the main reason for going to Tanna (Yasur) with the added bonus of White Beach (with good snorekelling) also nearby. ISLAND DREAM is nicely set on a hill, giving great views down, beyond the palm trees, to the sea and hot springs, with... More

We're quite happy to admit that our experience at Tanna Island Dream Bungalows was totally biased by the appalling weather when we were there - see our Travel in Tanna in the Wet Season posting on the Tanna Forum. If we had been there in brilliant sunshine we could easily be writing a solid 5* review - but readers need... More

We stayed 4 nights at Tanna Island Dream, then 4 nights on the west coast of Tanna. If you're planning to visit the volcano DEFINATELY do so from this accom, all we paid was the entry fees to the volcano, and the transport there. The cost from the other accom we stayed at was significantly higher than this. Like others... More

We planned to spent 5 days in Tanna, the main reason for our travel was Yasur volcano, so the best option was to stay close to the volcano 1 or 2 nights. We chose Tanna island dream bungalows because of the good reviews in tripadvisor, but not expecting too much confort. The only problem was to get an answer to... More
