We had a good stay at the resort. The pick up from airport was an easy process and the staff are all very friendly and welcoming. During our stay, Air Vanuatu cancelled our flight back to Port Vila and we were “stranded” on the island for 2 days, the staff went above and beyond to email Air Vanuatu to get more info for us and helped us re-arrange travel and accommodation. Overall, the resort is clean with good Wifi near the reception. The Wifi can be a bit patchy if you’re in the bungalows further away from reception but that’s alright since we are on a holiday anyways. The resort can arrange the tours for you including Mt Yasur volcano, Blue Cave, Kastom Village Tour, etc. Recommended if you’re visiting Tanna.

If staying on Tanna, and you want a resort with facilities, this is the best area to be. Currently run by an Aussie, White Grass offers all meals and you have private facilities in your bure. All up a great experience, they employ all locals who are very friendly and you get that side of the experience as well.

I had a great time here - a fabulous team who were all very friendly. Just a beautiful place in a beautiful part of the world. And the volcano tour is incredible. :-)

This fabulous-looking resort is located a convenient few minutes by road from Tanna airport, which made transfers in and out of Tanna really simple. Sabine, the general manager was on hand to welcome us (a nice touch) upon arrival and we were given a very nice fruit drink to relax with while the check-in was organised. The bar and restaurant building is situated near a cliff with excellent views of the ocean and stunning sunsets. The resort is nice and intimate - about 15 rooms, all isolated within their own portion of a large, beautiful and well-kept garden that stretches across the entire grounds. We were fortunate enough to stay in room 5, which is about 30 metres from the resort pool and has a great view of the ocean beyond. The room was comfy with a king bed, fridge, mosquito coils (sorely needed, as there are LOTS of mozzies after dark) and good water pressure/temperature in the shower - the hot water only lasted for one day before maintenance had to refill the gas tank, but after that it was fine. We even had a cute little gecko hanging around the roof outside. We found the resort to be in a perfect location for the various Tanna activities we planned - Mt Yasur, Blue Cave, Lounakiel Waterfall, Kava & Magic - but if you're only here for the volcano or other East Tanna experiences then you may wish to consider bungalows closer to that side. Special mention to Sabine and booking staff, who gave us brochures and kept us informed of everything we needed months in advance.

stéphane • Family Trip

Un resort très bien tenu avec des bures très cosi au milieu d’un jardin magnifique et vue mer a recommander chaudement Bonne nourriture personnel Compétent et vue magnifique sur le pacifique sud plein d’excursions possibles mais comme toujours dans cette région prix largement excessifs Notamment le mont yasur Les chambres sont simples et très confortables et d’une très bonne tenue . Un endroit idéal pour se reposer et profiter du calme avec cette vue incroyable sur les récifs et l’ocean Avons même vu des baleines depuis notre chambre . Le tout intègré magnifiquement et très bien conçu

We had a wonderful 3 nights at this hotel. We were pleasantly surprised. Very private boutique resort ideal for a couple to relax and enjoy various activities. We experienced Mt Yasur Volcano and the Blue Cave plus snorkeling around the resort. All were amazing and well organised by the resort

This is the best place we have stayed in Vanuatu, all of the hotel staff are friendly and helpful and snorkelling is fantastic. The food, especially catch of the day, was delicious and the included breakfast was great value. The tours are fun and the volcano was spectacular. We would definitely recommend this resort.

The resort provides transportation to and from the Tanna Airport. When we arrived at the resort office we were greeted by the friendly staff ( and manager Wayne) while being handed a glass of fresh squeezed fruit juice during the check in process. We arrived before noon and our ‘hut’ was ready for us and we were able move in. When I put word hut in quotes I did that becomes it was much more - a nice spacious room with power outlets (220 - NZ plugs) running hot and cold water for the bathroom, mini fridge, double bed with netting and ceiling fan. Sorry - no air conditioning, but you probably won’t miss it as the breezes are perfect. We stayed 2 nights and completely enjoyed ourselves. Besides the many side trips available there was also an excellent dive shop. We did 2 reef dives and a dive to the Blue Cave. The experienced dive masters were great to dive with and very helpful to us as we were a little rusty when it come to diving. The restaurant was very good with a very decent menu and there was also a bar with a great happy hour daily. Everyone of the resort staff were friendly and helpful. Wayne was especially helpful for us when Cyclone Hola was nearing and our scheduled flight was cancelled - he worked his connections and got us seats in the last flight out even as his staff was preparing for high winds and rough seas. Wayne and the rest of the staff went out of their way to make sure that our vacation was the best possible experience at their resort - and they succee

Beautiful setting with access to amazing snorkelling just across the reef, a range of tour options and great food ( expensive - standard for Tanna). Service was very professional and friendly. Easy 5 min drive to airport.

We had a fantastic stay at White Grass Ocean View resort. It was not cheap, but it seems nothing is cheap when trying to travel around Vanuatu and getting to the volcano when there are no rental cars or 'real' taxis. We were picked up at the airport, despite a delay with our flight, greeted at the entrance of the resort by the Manager and staff with welcome drinks. With then had a lovely breakfast before going to our bungalow which was ready many hours before our official check in time. The room was great (no air conditioning - which was great - the bungalow was ventilated and screened, so we could just enjoy the fresh air and sounds of the waves), clean, secure, and ocean view. There were plenty of activities to do - my children enjoying the petanque and board games the most. The pool was great but a bit cool which is expected at this time of year. The restaurant had some good options and a separate vegetarian menu for us, but they were happy to change other dishes to make them vegetarian for us. It was great to have plunger Tanna coffee in Tanna too. The resort organised the volcano tour for us - and this was fantastic - such an accessible volcano and such a great experience and all done very efficiently to get us back for dinner!

晚餐後在戶外草地，在皎潔的月光下，看著大海、白沙、樹影...，吹著海風，吃著冰淇淋，喝著紅酒玩點音樂，人生夫復何求！經由前枱服務人員熱心安排，到鄰近村莊吃到當地特色作法的悶雞，感謝！工作人員都很熱心面帶笑容很不錯。飯店附設潛水中心，所以免費借用的浮潛設備很專業，且提供免費的引導人員，帶領浮潛去看海龜，很不錯，我看到3隻！

Great resort to stay while in Tanna. Very helpful and friendly staff, great breakfast, very relaxing. All tours booked were great. Cold shower was a little bit of a shock but other than that we loved it.

We stayed at the end of September 2015 and there was really no sign of any after effects of Cyclone Pam 5 months earlier, except that the gardens looked as if they were fairly newly planted - and beautifully so.Our ocean front fare was wonderful. The bed was enormous and very comfortable and the view through the palm trees to the ocean was so relaxing. We were greeted by the lovely Magalie who was super helpful with sorting out a slight problem with a tour we had booked for that afternoon. The food was all fresh produce from the island and absolutely delicious. All the staff were delightful and genuinely friendly and we were completely at ease and relaxed within minutes of arriving, and remained so the entire time we stayed, which wasn't long enough. We would have no hesitation in returning to this magical place.
