Budget/Backpackers Efate
Description
Established since 1985, Vila Chaumieres is famous for its magical location over the palm-fringed waters of the second lagoon. A unique South Pacific dining experience, ideal for private bookings, groups, honeymooners and romantics alike, Vila Chaumieres is renowned for its beautiful ambience, excellent food and first-class service.
Description
Accommodation is in large, deluxe thatched-roofed garden bungalows with a queen size bed and spacious living area with a single divan, or luxurious rooms with queen size bed and large balconies over- looking the lagoon. All units are air conditioned and have overhead fans, refrigerator and tea and coffee making facilities, private well equipped bathrooms and are serviced daily. The bungalows and lagoon-view rooms have been recently refurbished and painted. To ensure the peace and privacy of our guests, they do not accommodate children under the age of 16. The highlight is the restaurant, with tables on decks right over the water, where you can watch local villagers passing by in outrigger canoes or feed the fish, in a fairy tale setting. Dining under a starlit sky protected by a local thatched roof with coconut palms reflected in the floodlit waters, or on the lushly planted garden terrace is a truly magical experience, enhanced by the excellent food and service. Specialties include succulent Vanuatu beef, fresh local seafood and the best coconut crab in Vila. Prior to dining, enjoy a delicious tropical cocktail or icy cold beer from our well stocked bar, paddle a canoe or pedal-o to explore the second lagoon and the village environs or relax on banana lounges on our small beach. The friendly staff are on hand to help make your stay an enjoyable and memorable holiday experience.
