# Mosquito nets Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Vanuatu
anonymous 06:26 UTC 23 Feb 2007 | I'm going to Vanuatu in a couple of weeks (March 2007). I'm wondering whether I should pack a mosquito net or do most places have them already? I expect I'll be staying in very basic accommodation. Thanks. |
kirjava 18:19 UTC 23 Feb 2007 | it depends what type of accomodation you'll be staying in. all the big resorts will have netted windows. most of the smaller ones will have as well but maybe not in pristine condition. i was in vanuatu for 4 months staying in some more remote places so my mosquito net was essential, more to keep the rats and bugs off me than anything else! i guess the best advice would be to take it just in case-its only going to take up a small space in your luggage. | 1
