The Bay House is 19 km from the airport and 14km to Port Vila Central where you will find numerous restaurants, many of them waterside. The Bay House is also in close proximity to many attractions; Blue Lagoon, Banana Bay Beach Club, Eden on the River, Rentapo River Kayaking, Off Road Adventures, Pepeyo Cultural Village and more… 🏝️ Guest access The entire property is for guests to access. Other things to note Car hire is highly recommended; with your own transport you will then be able to visit the many attractions on the island at your leisure and have the freedom to explore. Most guests use World Car Rentals. Feedback is they are easy to communicate with from overseas, are professional and have quite a large fleet of good quality cars. Search ‘Hotspot Vanuatu’ to get a 15% off voucher. Mention you have this if choosing to hire from them. If you don’t wish to drive on the island, I have a number of drivers that can pick you up from the airport and bring you to The Bay House, stopping at the supermarket on the way out. Not wanting to hire a car but want to sightsee? Easy, just get a lift into town then catch buses (van’s that zip around Port Vila) for approx $2 aus. per ride, a bit more if wanting to go further out. You can also hook up with tours from Port Vila. Tamanu on the Beach resort (mentioned previously) offer a free shuttle service if you make a dinner reservation at their restaurant. ‘Eat, play, relax in Vanuatu’ a GUIDEBOOK which I have created which you will find under ‘MEET YOUR HOST’ (just tap on my profile pic) on this site. It has sightseeing and dining suggestions that myself and guests have enjoyed or have great reviews. There are no shops out this way, but Au Bon Marche Manples is a fully stocked supermarket a 5 min drive from the airport on the way out to The Bay House. There is also an open air fruit & veg market next to it. Please note: You can purchase alcohol from the supermarkets but not after 12 pm Saturday and all day Sunday. I live on the property and am at your service when needed, otherwise you will be left in total privacy to enjoy the peace & stillness. At times you might see me or my gardener pottering around or I might enjoy a snorkel/swim out front. Please note: The Bay House is not suitable for infants or children.
