Overall it was a great experience- the bungalows were something else- a rare experience indeed. The views of the smouldering Mt Yasur from your own private balcony are amazing as is the rumblings you'll hear in the middle of the night. The food was good, its amazing what they can conjure up with so few resources and while the staff... More

Stayed here for a night and loved the view from the bungalow. It was very clean and had a very nice balcony area with a couple chairs to sit and admire the view. Nancy greeted us with a couple drinks, and told us she would organize dinner. She also directed us to the nearby beach-you can take a path from... More

Excellent location on a cliff and good cooking. Nancy is there no matter if you arrive late in the evening or leave early in the morning. Would stay there again. If you can, make sure your flight from Tanna to Port Vila doesn't leave at 8:45am. In this case you have to leave around 5am. As there were no other... More

After staying in a tree house for 2 nights it was a relief to come to Tanna Island Dream. We were welcomed by the lovely Nancy with a "welcome drink" which was a nice touch and refreshing. We stayed in a double with shared facilities, the facilities are good & actually has warm water! The bungalows are nestled on a... More

Faced with a large choice of bungalows in East Tanna I mostly based my decision to stay at Tanna Island Dream Bungalow on the good reviews this place had received online, both on this site as well as on others. In a way I found this surprising as this bungalow is relatively new in business and to the best of... More

I chose this accommodation in order to be in close proximity to Mount Yasur. Other places are closer, but I chose Dream Bungalows after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor. With only a 40 minute trip to Mount Yasur, it is far preferable to stay here than on the west side, and Mount Yasur is definitely worth more than one visit.... More

Island Dream Bungalows are a great accommodation option on the east side of Tanna. They are well situated for visits to Mt Yasur, Port Resolution, John Frum ceremonies and the many attractions of the east coast. Nancy and community are great hosts. We were very well looked after during our stay. We arrived in the dark as we took the... More

Tanna is all about the volcano for the wider tourist trade, however Tanna is the most exciting island of Vanuatu. Tanna has retained a large amount of its culture with minimum influence from the west. It is the true "black man" island.

We stayed at tanna island dreams for 4 nights. Sam and nancy were delightful hosts. The bungalows were made by Sam and his family over a few years. They are beautifully constructed from local materials. We had the bungalow with the ensuite, and the verandah where you could sit and look on to yasur pumping out its ash every few... More

Stayed at Tanna Island Dream for two nights in June. First afternoon spent wandeing around and getting acquainted with surroundings, while the second started with a 15km walk to Shark Bay, Turtle Bay, Whitesands Beach, Port Resolution village and bay and back around the lake, before heading up to Yasur. Accomodation was super neat and tidy and Sam and Nancy's... More
