Kamy Guesthouse, Tongoa Visitor Ratings

Kamy is an enterprising fellow with a store, kava bar, guest house and truck at Pele village. It's a central location, good for exploring the island. Kamy's is by the airstrip about 500 metres from the present terminal building.

Costs and Booking
Kamy charges 2000 Vatu per person, per night (says his brochure). He has two telephones (phone 28331 or phone/fax 28240). Kamy is friendly, helpful and he speaks Bislama and English. All expenses are payable in Vatu cash. Exchange Rates.

Accomodation and Food
Kamy's Guesthouse is a modern timber construction with two bedrooms (two single beds plus one single bed), a kitchen and a sitting room. There are no mosquito nets, mosquito coils are available (there are few or no mosquitoes). There's solar lighting but no inverter. Kamy has a generator which he uses only when required. Kamy is expanding with another guesthouse ready in late 2004. It's a good idea to bring a small padlock if you need to lock the bungalow door.

In the smol haos there's a basic pit toilet and bucket showers are taken in the haos blong swim. Bring your own toilet paper, bath towel and soap.

The kitchen has a gas cook top and a collection of pots, dishes and cutlery. Water is pulled from a rainwater tank and should be OK to drink. There are well-stocked stores at Pele and local markets on three days every week.
