Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Port Vila

Beautiful vacation home with lovely ocean views & breezes. Well equipped & comfortable. Loved the gorgeous fresh flowers & fruit on arrival. Very few flies & mosquitos so we were able to leave the bifold doors open on the deck & enjoy the serenity. Instructions from the owners were very clear and we had no trouble finding the place. Highly recommend visiting the fire show at the Beach Bar & the Canyon Swing and Zipline just up the road. Closest food: Tanna Coffee, K2 restaurant, & Beach Bar. Minimart within walking distance. Lovely place overall but a few things to be aware of: - The road is very poor…. Full of potholes. - You really need a hire car. There are local private transport vans, but they’re really only for the locals. You wouldn’t want to rely on this transport to get to/from Port Vila. - There is no beach at the villa. You need to climb down some steps hewn in the rocks & swim out over coral. It would be difficult for older & disabled people.

Wonderful place for a relaxing holiday, the accommodation is nicely set up to while away the hours doing very little if that is your objective. And if not there are also kayaks and other things to do, and Annie was very generous in giving information and helping out. Looking forward to returning. This oasis is magic, bungalows on the beach that have are beautiful fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, BBQ etc etc all the mod cons you would need. We felt we were a million miles away from the troubles of the world & the owner Annie is a wonderful host nothing is a problem, and is a wealth of information. Following her recommendation we spent 2 x evenings at Erakor Island for dinner night including my birthday. A great night was had by all.  We laughed from morning till night . We snorkled and took a kyak out every day. Our son Shane loves this place so much....He says every time, let's go back "home"....Oh and the serenity !!!!

We had an amazing stay. As soon as we got there (finding it was no big problem for the local cab drivers) we were amazed by the amount of love & attention that went into decorating and furnishing the place. From medicine to cooking equipment & the bbq, everything was in abundance and made to feel like home. Courtesy of this welcoming feeling is no doubt the lovely housemaid Eva, who looked after us with amazing care. As a group of students (ages 20-24) we enjoyed the privacy of the house and its perfect blend of comfort (amazing beds, helping hands of Eva etc.) and more adventurous aspects (bumpy ride getting there, rare power-outages in the night etc.). All of us agree that this house was the core to our amazing time on Vanuatu. We would highly recommend to get a car (4x4 pickup was our choice & we did not regret it), as mobility is key on Efate. Also, if at all interested, get an ATV. Fuel is cheap & the fun priceless. Thanks to Christiana and Eva for this unforgettable time.

Having had the pleasure of staying here multiple times, I can genuinely say this place feels like a home away from home. From the moment we arrived, John and Silvie made us feel incredibly welcome with their warm and friendly hospitality. Arthur, our taxi driver, went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests, making our arrival and departure seamless and stress-free. The property itself is nothing short of breathtaking. The lush, well-maintained garden creates a serene atmosphere, and the beach, situated just steps away from the houses, offers a picturesque and tranquil setting. Every detail of the surroundings added to the charm and beauty of our stay. Marcello, our host, was an absolute delight—attentive, approachable, and always ready to assist. His communicative nature made us feel valued and well taken care of throughout our visit. This experience was nothing short of wonderful, and we cherished every moment of our time here.

Very hard to put into words how beautiful this place is! Nolan, Fannie and their family are incredible hosts, the local villagers are the friendliest you will meet. Colin has created an amazing meeting point to sustainably and meaningfully connect with the people of Moso. So grateful for our time here! Thank you!

Excellent place to stay, the snorkeling is world class and it’s in your backyard!! Our driver was exceptional and knew everything about the island and its people. Nothing is to hard for Lydia she was the perfect host for us. As dog lovers we enjoyed the visits from her fur babies but if you aren’t she can fence them off and you will never know they are there. We felt very safe and secure in the bungalow. Wander next door on Friday and Saturday nights to meet the ex-pats they were fantastic! You are in for a great holiday with Lydia. If you can’t survive without Wi-Fi don’t worry the bungalow has it and it is super fast.

Nicole's house was perfect for our stay. I was travelling with my students and we had a lot of activities scheduled in the city so location was perfect. Super easy to jump on a bus if we needed to go anywhere too. The four bedrooms were large enough with beds for everyone. We were a group of 8. The lounge room and kitchen space are both very big and everything was very clean. The garden is beautifully maintained. There is a bit noise at night (mainly Friday and Saturday night) but that's to be expected if you stay in town. The house is very well secured and we felt absolutely safe. Nicole was outstanding in terms of communication and Caroline was wonderful too. I could not have picked a better place for our study tour. Thank you so much for everything we will will most definitely return in the near future. Highly recommended for large groups.

We had a fantastic time at Loic's place. As described it is about 45min drive from Vila so having your own transport is highly recommended. A representative form the management company met us at the airport and we followed them the property as it was after dark. This was really helpful as otherwise we might have struggled to find the entrance (its easy in daylight). Devils Point Road is unpaved but didn't really need a 4WD (we were there at the end of the dry season). The property is pleasant and set in a fantastic location with world class snorkelling from the private beach. Sam and his family, who live next door, look after the property and kept us supplied with Paw-paw and coconuts! Mele Beach is about 20 mins drive away and the Friday night Fire Show is highly recommended. We enjoyed our time there and recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet retreat in stunning surrounds.
