We came to Pele island for 3 nights and stayed 5 nights, because for us it was heaven on Earth. The bungalow was the only one on the white-sand beach, the snorkelling right of the beach was amazing, the local village Worearu (with 24 people) was very friendly, our host Enok did everything to make us feel welcome, he took us fishing and to his garden, his wife was a wonderful cook and she let us watch when she prepared special local dishes (lap lap), the local children sometimes played on the beach, it was really everything we wanted from our stay on a secluded island.
The bungalows were very basic, so not appropriate for people who prefer resorts, there is no electricity in the village and no running water, the toilet and shower are "bucket-based", but that made the whole experience even more natural. The bungalow and surrounding area was very clean. Enok built a fire on the beach every evening, but since there is no electricity you go to bed soon after the sun sets.

We spent 3 nights at Takau's bungalow during September 2011. Enock Takau and his family were keen hosts who made us feel very welcome in their emaculately clean and well maintained accommodation. We loved their food, the fire on the beach in the evening, and the swing they made for our daughter in the cotton trees.
The bungalow is now bright green and the veranda faces the protected waters of the bay overlooking Nguna Island. The white coral beach in front of the bungalow is shaded by well-pruned cotton trees, and offers great swimming and snorkelling. As a bonus, the sun sets into the sea right in front of the bungalow! Very special!
We walked freely all around the island and visited the fringing reefs and forests in the north, and the villages and gardens in the south. Our stay was definitely the most enjoyable part of our Vanuatu holiday.
