"We absolutely loved our stay at Fatumaru Lodge—a perfect base for our family holiday in Vanuatu.
The room was spacious and well-equipped, with cooking facilities, a proper fridge and freezer (a big plus with kids!), and plenty of room to relax.
The view from our room was stunning—sparkling water by day, beautiful sunsets from the sundeck by night. It was peaceful, picturesque, and felt like our own slice of paradise.

"Beautiful garden and waterside location and really friendly staff. Some distance from town, accessible by bus (150vt/ person) but traffic can be slow. Large supermarket and fresh f&v market nearby at Korman. Facilities a bit basic , maybe still just recovering from earthquake damage in Dec."
"The staff are simply beautiful. All amenities are reflected accordingly in their description. New cabins being built which will be exciting for people travelling there shortly. Chef John is awesome! You MUST have his croissants for breakfast. Make sure to pat ‘Lucky’ the cat, he is adorable "
"Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. We stayed 6 nights in total and absolutely loved it. The food was delicious and the pool was so wonderful to swim in. We could borrow kayaks from the resort and kayak on the river too. So much fun and so relaxing. Thank you for a wonderful stay :-)"
"I booked this place for a friend in Vanuatu so didn't personally stay there. The booking online was very quick and easy and my friend found check in quick and easy."
"A lovely resort on Erakor island. Excellent staff. Lovely rooms with waterfront views. Free water sports. Gorgeous location. Definitely the best place to stay in Efate. "
"An incredible place for a relaxing vacation with top-notch service. With excellent snorkeling directly in front of the resort, as well as kayaks and a SUP for guests to use, there are many things to do. We loved the attentiveness of the staff and the excellent meals. The 4-course dinner every evening was so delicious and such a treat! We felt very well taken care of and would love to stay here again."
"The resort is absolutely beautiful with stunning water views on the bay, beautifully maintained tropical gardens, and cute tropical "fare" bungalows. You have the choice of swimming in the pristine sea or in the lovely swimming pool.
The staff is so dedicated to helping you have the best stay and the manager is very helpful.
We'll come back. "
"Very easy to water taxi back and forth to the main land (which might even be walkable at low tide). Room was clean and staff were all very hospitable."
"Absolutely stunning jungle/ river property, lush and green. The large house is very spacious. It was comfortable in the July weather. Plenty of room and beds for our family of 6. Property is off grid so some issues with hot water that were rectified. We’re told we would have daily house keeping, which didn’t happen once, but we were ok with the washing machine. If we had asked, I’m sure it would have been provided. Accessing the tours and using the river was a highlight for our family.

"Quiet, peaceful, but exceptionally good value. Continental breakfast provided was not great, but we had cooking facilities and it was easy to buy some eggs and bacon. And we brought our own coffee. So all good. Restaurant not fast but food was always very good. And staff always very friendly and helpful. "
