Accommodation and Food
In November 2004 Toa had one guesthouse, one garden bungalow and one or two more garden bungalows under construction. The guesthouse is a modern construction with two single beds and one twin bunk bed inside. It has fly screens and locking doors. West Ambae is a dry place so there are few mosquitos. The garden bungalow is smaller and more private, constructed of local materials with two single beds inside. The main building (reception) has a single bedroom, a lounge and a kitchen with a gas stove. Toa guesthouse has a solar power system for lighting (no inverter). A generator is used infrequently.

There's one modern shower and one western flush toilet. Water is pumped from a rainwater tank to an elevated tank.

There are a couple of local restaurants and a small market place near Toa Guesthouse. They most often have bread and sometimes rice dishes and/or aelan kaekae. Guests can use the kitchen at Toa Guesthouse. Jeffrey will offer to prepare meals. A separate rainwater tank is used for drinking water.
