Sandalwood is new and the first bungalow/guesthouse accommodation at Ipota. It's located at the southern end of the airstrip and nearby the river. Ask for Simon.

Costs and Booking
Sandalwood Guesthouse is great value at 1500 Vatu per person, per night. Expect prices to go up slightly as the business becomes established. Exchange rates.

You can telephone Simon on 5364951 (Digicel) but there was no mobile phone coverage at Ipota in April 2012. People have to walk 1.5 to 2 hours to get coverage. It's more practical to send a text message about a week in advance or you might also send a message via Pastor Henry in Port Vila (Digicel 5912386).

Accommodation and Food
Sandalwood Guest House has two bungalows, each with two single beds inside. There is another large bungalow with 6 beds inside.

You can bathe in the river or with rainwater from the tank. There is a basic sit-down pit toilet.

Sandalwood has a shared kitchen, with gas cooktop and simple local meals can be provided at no extra cost. They have rainwater for drinking.
