Wendy, Daniel, Paul and their families were all lovely, they took great care in ensuring that everyone was well looked after. The children were watched over and cared for, the meals were prepared beautifully and the staff went out of their way to make my 30th Birthday very special - I can't thank them enough for their kind hospitality - we will be back !

The shower needed to be cleaned. The toilet ran for approx 5 days and was not fixed. Didn't have water on quite a few occasions.
Location was amazing. Food was okay, little expensive for what it was.

Our stay at Lannoc was a highlight of our holiday. All the staff, especially Wendy couldn't do enough for our family of eight. The beach was outstanding, the bungalows made for a wonderful South Pacific experience; enjoying the airy basic bungalows lit by romantic Kero lamps and candles. The food and drinks at the restarant were great (especially the Coconut Crabs) adorned with fine service.

Although the accomodation is very basic, we found Lonnoc a wonderful place to stay, Wendy and Bob were great, very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for peace and quiet and are happy with v basic accomodation then its definitely worth visiting.

We enjoyed our stay and the interaction with "Doctor Tim" and other family members who manage the site. Transport to/from airport was excellent. The accomodations seems set up more for a group retreat experience and they are working to improve dorm accomodations. They could improve the activities for visitors by providing a boat with a ladder so that snorkelers can get on/off the boat easily. The food was very basic and little variety, but okay. The beach is poor for swimming but we could take a 15 min. walk to Champagne Beach for a beautiful swim/beach experience. People should know that it costs $5 vanatu currency to use Champagne Beach.

Our welcome was not very welcoming at all. Being the only couple staying at Lonnoc on this given night it was clear that the people taking care of the bungalows would havemuch rathered we were not there so they could have the night off. No smile and a sullen attitude the whole time from this one young girl were off putting. The bungalows themselves were clean but things such as broken bed slats are not acceptable and not very comfortable to sleep on.

Lonnoc Beach is the place to go for a true Vanuatu experience run by locals. The beach is SPECTACULAR and Wendy and her family run a great local business. Sure, there maybe limited menu choices but does that really matter when you are staying in paradise?

The family who owned and operated the Lonnoc Beach Bungalows were very friendly and helpful. The food was great and it was a lovely stay.

This is one of the best beaches you can swim at. It has sand and some great coral to snorkel over. It's an easy swim to Champagne Beach ~ 1.5Km. If you love the water and doing little else other than reading a good book it's gorgeous. It is an experience outside of 5 star resorts, wth the local families, and we loved it. The food is simple fare but plenty of it. Breakfasts were good. Transporton on the local bus is cheap and easy from the Unity Service station.

Very deceived by the accomodation and by the service. The place is exceptionnal, but the bungalows are uncomfortable, not correctly cleaned, sheets very old and with holes. No choice's food, ingredients were missing (no fish, no vegetables) just meat. No dessert.

The accommodation we booked was not available (overbooked ! )
We stayed in an adjoining bugalow next to generator, but with no power!The accommodation was not what we expected, but the experience and location was.

Yes the accomodation is very basic but very clean and the staff are always on hand to help with anything you need. The wonderfull view and crystal waters is what makes this place so heavenly and worth giving up a few creature comforts just for this wonderfull experience.

Lonnoc was basic and very affordable accommodation. Basic bathroom, no electricity. The mattress and pillows in our bungalow were uncomfortable. Lonnoc overlooks one of the most picturesque bays in the South Pacific. We had a great time! Great value and lovely cheap meals. Delightful Ni-Van hosts. I thoroughly recommend staying at Lonnoc.
