24/11/2011	Standard Location Value	This was really such an amazing experience! So glad we stayed here! Perfect hosts and such a great spot by a great village on Pentecost to explore. There is a waterfall via a lovely 10 minutes walk that we swam in 3 times a day to cool off. The beach right outside Noda is lovely for swimming in as well. So clear, clean and inviting! They cook you bloody good food as well! We stayed for 3 days. Such a bargin as well.
23/07/2011	Standard Location Value	We booked a package with Air Vanuatu including 2 nights accomodation, all meals, transport and entrance fee to the landdiving site nearby the airport. Silas, who loves to talk to his guests, and his family are great hosts and food was plenty and tasty. Saturday evening we were invited to a kava ceremony by the local chief and had a big feast with local specialties. The local dance group was gorgeous with fantastic voices. Walk along the road to the next villages, take a refreshing swim in the cool nearby waterfall, do some snorkeling or just relax in the sunbed or on the beach.

04/10/2009	Standard Location Value	Stayed one night back in April after the Nangol. We could not have been taken care of better. Food was great (roast pig for dinner and home baked bread for each meal) and the Kava flowed freely. Some girls from the college came down and danced for us. Swimming from the beach was beautiful and the sunset will stay in our memories for ever. Be sure to visit the waterfall.
28/07/2009	Standard Location Value	Noda is great and Silas is a fantastic host. He made us feel so welcome and always found something for us to do. His sister cooked beautiful meals for us, and loved to sit and join us for a cuppa and a chat! Definitely check it out if you're in the vicinity, and make sure you have someone take you up to the waterfall. Hannah
17/09/2006	Standard Location Value	Stayed at the Noda guesthouse in May 2006 for 3 nights. There are two separate cottages, we stayed in a concrete block construction house with 2 bedrooms (one double and the other with 2 single beds. The house also has a kitchen. The ladies prepared lovely meals for us, fresh bread every morning for breakfast and meals included things like taro chips and steak. The bungalow has flyscreens and bednets. There is a flush toilet behind the other bungalow and the shower was outside in a tin cubicle with a hose attached. The guesthouse is opposite a lovely beach and we used it as a base for visits to ranwadi school and the Nagol land diving. Joanne
