Holiday rentals with breakfast in Efate

Five blissful nights at South Pacific Memories were a real highlight of this trip. For snorkelling obsessives, the fish diversity right outside this boutique four-villa resort is the best I found in Vanuatu. Clouds of fish hover around the coral heads, schools swim past flashing silver, there are lobsters peeking out from crevices, squid, hundreds of wrasse, parrotfish and at least three types of triggerfish. We snorkelled here after breakfast every morning. The four villas sit behind the main house, restaurant, lobby, lounge and dive facilities. They’re two stories with rooftop decks to sit on and look at the stars, or dry wet clothing. Inside its spacious minimalism with concrete dressed up with colourful naive art. Good wifi, fridges, room safes, wardrobes to put away your suitcases and feel like you can settle in. Breakfast is included in the tariff and healthy and inviting! I found it very hard to leave this truly special place!

Don's place is a unit at Island Magic Resort -- we were in Bungalow 10. The bungalow was very spacious, with louvre windows in every direction so ocean breezes were great. Snorkeling right from the resort was also great. Grounds were well kept. The resort was very quiet -- about 15 min from town. We had a car so no problems getting around but local transportation was also available. Highly recommend attending the cultural show on Saturday evenings. Restaurant served excellent food. Staff was excellent-- this is a small resort where they get to know you very quickly. Highly recommend Island Magic and Don's place!

Despite being post earthquake Sebastian made me feel welcomed. He took time when I needed. Really enjoyed my time at Rainbow lodge. Absolutely peaceful place to relax. Close to everything including transport. Beautiful cleaning lady also very friendly. Great place as a solo traveller. I felt very safe.

Marcus & Stoney are beautiful hosts, we’re always very kind and helpful, are great cooks, ethical and highly knowledgeable about Vanuatu’s culture and traditions. Loved their place !

Our family had a wonderful stay at this stunning property! There are three private villas overlooking the water with beautifully decorated bedrooms, living areas, and kitchenettes, then there is also spacious beachside kitchen/dining/lounge area. Everything we needed for a relaxing and luxurious getaway. Kids barely got out of the pool the whole time we were there. It’s also super handy to town for grabbing supplies. We had such a great time and can’t wait to come back!

This Lodge is in a very convenient location. Walking distance to the supermarket, main market, town and the seafront. The apartment had everything we needed to give us a home like stay. Large kitchen, great internet and regular laundry service. There was a place to park our hire car. The hosts were lovely and welcoming. My daughter enjoyed running around a playing in the garden. I definitely recommend this place and look forward to staying here again in the future.
