Holiday rentals in East Santo

We loved our two weeks at Lonnoc Beach bungalows with Kalmer and his family. We had a spot right on the beach front to camp. There is wifi included in the price and use of kayaks for free :) we had clean showers and a toilet and the restaurant was available if we needed it. If you fly into Santo get to Luganville town and jump in a public minibus, they usually leave after 2.30pm and will cost you only 500vt each. Then during your stay you can hitch hike to and from town or along the east coast for 500 per person. The luganville market have great fruit and veg for cheap too - mango’s and pomello’s for 15p!! During our stay we felt part of the community, making friends with Kalmers big family, going to church, eating with them and sharing stories. We definitely recommend camping here (if you have your own tent) and you’re on a budget but want to travel to Vanuatu.

Our stay on Lataro/Satoshi island felt like a fairytale. Denys and Marcella were fantastic hosts, always helpful and friendly. The scenery is some of the most stunning we have ever seen, and we are well travelled. The beaches, reef and fish were untouched and easily accessible for snorkelling from the beach. We even saw turtles! The local cows, horses, cats and dogs were friendly and fun to be around. The vila is comfortable and has everything you would need for a longer term stay. We were worried initially about the lack of air conditioning but even in the height of summer the temperature was fine. The big fan in the bedroom meant we were comfortable at night (even chilly at times). We recommend planning your meals in advance and being prepared for your supermarket trip in Luganville when you arrive, as you will not be able to duck off the island easily to buy more food. We would absolutely come back here and recommend everyone come and experience this beautiful slice of paradise.

Our stay at Daniel's place was amazing!! The beachview from the place was beautiful. You can pre book your airport pickup and drop off and local tours with Daniel. It was nice to hear stories about the island and the local traditions and customs from him. Our personal favorite was the daily breakfast that Daniel delivers which consists of locally grown fresh avocados, papaya and banana. You also get free kayaks that you can use to kayak to Champagne Beach (we didn't go too far since we weren't confident swimmers and didn't want to go into deep waters) The restaurant close by is really good and has a few vegetarian options too. Overall, our stay with Daniel was great and we will definitely be back soon!!

Amazing place away from hustle of big commercial hotels. If you want a wonderful place, be at the beach by yourself with few locals. This is the place for you . If you like 5star dining and hotels this is not for you We loved every minute of our short stay 💖

Nous n'avons passé qu'une nuit mais notre court séjour était très agréable. Très arrangeant, nous avons pu profiter de nos derniers moments sur cette magnifique île à leurs côtés. Nous recommandons sans hésiter cet établissement et si nous devions revenir sur Santo nous reviendrons ici avec grand plaisir !

Wonderful island and very private, will come back again to see how this magical island is evolving.

Janeth and Peter welcomed us into their family and showed us the most amazing time possible. The location and surrounds were pristine and almost dreamlike in quality. The village has a family atmosphere and is a beautiful thing to be apart of during your stay. The kids are happy and joyous which is super contagious. The coral reefs, only metres from the front door are sensational, the fishing is fantastic and the beaches offer true relaxation and privacy. This district is only recommended to those who can 'unplug' from the world happily, as it's quite isolated from communication (but it's possible if you need it), shops and night-life etc... But for those who seek some peace and tranquillity, it rivals any place on earth, my wife and I completely fell in love with the place and it's people and cannot wait to visit again. Thank you Janeth and your beautiful family for an amazing stay which we will never forget.

Turtle Bay Guest house was a nice quiet place to relax and unwind. You can hear road noise from the cottage, but it is quiet at night. We had a car rental so could come and go as we wanted. Might be a bit isolated if you don’t have a vehicle. The kitchen area is quite small for cooking, but slow cooker and fry pan is available. No stove and only a mini fridge. Restaurant close by a 2 minute drive or 10-15 minute walk depending on speed. Views are lovely, kayaking is great as well as swimming off the dock. It really was a very enjoyable place to stay for the time we had.
