Really wonderful location and staff!!! Right on the beach hearing the lapping of the waves. We kayaked to top rock, which was big but glorious. Three turtles and top rock is special. There is no food around!!!!! So if you don’t have a car come prepared!!!!! We ate tinned mackerel and leftover rice one day!!!

The boat house was fabulous, perfect for me as a single traveler & would have been romantic if my partner was able to join me on this trip. It is private but not secluded, which nice for me as I enjoyed meeting the friendly locals & staff. I received the compendium online, however I found the staff to be more helpful. *The only thing that would have made my food experience easier is if there was a Menu available in the room, of local foods to request delivered with a price guide & locally prepared meals available to order as well ask suggestions of what it's ok to ask staff for such as local massage, nite fishing, spear fishing, kayak tours, snorkelling tours, cave touring & local trekking around Undine Bay. *Peter the local grounds man, speaks good English, very friendly & harmless, helped me set Aerial Hammock in a tree so I could practice, hailed the local bus to town, brought me fresh coconuts daily he also gave me an island massage which was different, more therapeutic & reliving than relaxing, got the kink out of my neck, all for by donation. * the beautiful the manager Silvi, is an inspiration, her warm welcome on arrival made me feel very at home, she helped me with the Kayak & invited me to share Sunday lunch with her family & friends, which was a highlight of my stay. The island food I tried was delicious & I felt very at home & welcomed. The local kava hut called a Nukamal, run by Billy, Silvi's son, is a great place to enjoy drinking kava with locals, most people spoke English with me & I felt comfortable to toktok Bislama (local language) small small. I encourage any one visiting Vanuatu to try the local food, try the kava & have a go speaking the local language as well, it fun & will make all the difference to your adventure in paradise.

Absolute superb place on the north coast of Efate. We tend to beat the crowds or go a bit of grid when traveling. So Whispering Palms just was the perfect place for us - staying in a beautiful accommodation, right on the edge to the ocean with pristine views made our day(s). Hermit crabs, riffs just of the beach and lots to explore when opening your eyes. Local staff like Peter and Silvie just adds absolute value. Could have stayed longer.

Excellent location right in front of the beach. The locals were really friendly. Amazing snorkelling spot, crystal clear and calm water, so you can just explore the coral reef from the kayak. Lots of turtles and fish. It's a quiet place with amazing views far away from busy Port Vila. The property comes with a fully equipped kitchen so we could prepare our own meals.

I don't think the pictures really did the property justice. Also, I was confused about how close all the properties were. There are 3 buildings, they are all detached from one another you just share a beach, but the beach is public anyway - people from the village and neighbouring properties walk past etc This side of the island is much quieter and people are more friendly and it's just a better vibe than Port Vila. I was sent a lot of info from the owner before my arrival and there was a handy guide about local things to do. One of the better wifi spots - it covers all 3 buildings down to the beach pretty much which was handy. There was selection of snorkels, shoes and flippers, paddleboard and kayaks. Loads of towels. The place just had a lot of bits and bobs around to make a trip more comfortable. So I was just able to relax. Views of sunrise and moonrise were just spectacular. Dolphins and horses pass by most days. Coral reef at the doorstep. It's just heavenly. If I ever return to Efate, this will be my go to accomodation.

Absolutely beautiful "non-resort" way to see Vanuatu. Snorkelling off the beach is such a delight. Great staff and very helpful. Lovely peaceful location. We had a hire car but note there is option to have transport arranged there & back (40 min to Vila). There are only small villages nearby but these are fine to buy basics. We bought a lot of fruit from roadside stalls. We really like Top Rock (10min away) for snorkelling & simple lunch. Just be aware that there are large sections of the main road that are severely affected by potholes, particularly in and around Vila. Still driveable, but good to know. See photo below as an example! It was a wonderful week.
