# Accommodation in Tanna Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Vanuatu
namasayagregg 07:45 UTC 19 Nov 2009 | Hi all, i have done a little research already, but thought id ask for some advice... I would like to travel to Tanna with my wife next March/April for, say, 3 or 4 days of snorkelling, relaxing, volcanoing, and basically just enjoying what i hear is a beautiful place! I do not require the most luxurious accommodation, however i would appreciate a fan at night, comfy bed and 3 decent meals a day. I am happy to pay around $70 - $150AUD per night for my accommodation. Do you have any suggestions on a good place to stay on Tanna? Also, do most places offer meals, how much should i budget for meals per day? Any fair dinkum responses are greatly appreciated, Regards, |

It will tick most of your boxes but you will probably have to do without the fan as they use a generator which is shut down around 10pm. We were there in September '06 and found we did not need a fan. The staff/owners were extremely pleasant and helpful. There is a restaurant on site for lunch and dinner(they provide a simple breakfast with your tariff) and you can walk to the nearby White Grass Resort for a change of pace at their lovely restaurant. I'm sorry but I can't recall the exact meal prices but they were reasonable. Tanna is definitely worth the effort and cost - the trip to the volcano from Evergreen was the hightlight of our 7 week SP trip. | 1

johnnytiger 02:56 UTC 22 Feb 2010 | I recommend Leneai Palms resort The food was great, the acoomodations were more than adequate,and they organized several tours directly out of their facility. The owners, Ron and Anne, were both awesome and I could tell were both highly regarded by the locals. | 3
suredogetaround 04:34 UTC 05 Mar 2010 | I can thoroughly recommend the Friendly Bungalows. Mind you, it's been a few years - however if you want a bit of an adventure and would love to feel like you've stepped into the set of Gilligans Island, then this is the place for you. | 4
