Tames Guest House is in a handy location,backing onto the airport,with wonderful gardens, solid buildings & a western stye flush toilet.Price includes all meals which made this the best value for money of our entire trip. George is a wonderful host, speaking fluent english (and french?). Gaua has a lot to offer. The walk through the jungle to the lake (guided by George) was well worth the effort and the canoe trip provided great views of the steaming volcano. We wish we had a couple of extra days to explore the mudpools and waterfall. Txt George on(678)7712889
