This is a truly magical place to relax and recharge! Booking Lydia and Dave’s place was motivated by the lovely photos and appealing price point, but the reality was above and beyond my expectations. This adorable, self-contained cottage and patio has a prime position looking out over the swimming pool and ocean, which ensures fabulous views every day and lots of space to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. Listening to birdsong and enjoying the lush vegetation was a highlight of every morning. Snorkeling is possible just in front of the bungalow during the right conditions, and there are kayaks for use. If you feel energetic, Devil’s Point Road and the nearby hills offer some walking options; there is also a beach close by.

What are our fond memories of our stay at Villa Ducula . the vista from our balcony overlooking Mele Bay . the cooling South Easterly breezes . the snorkelling on the reef at the doorstep . an excellent restaurant next door . an easy trip to Port Vila by bus . beautiful garden surrounds . the gentle sounds of the waves breaking over the coral as you drift off to sleep . a very welcoming host, where nothing was too much trouble . the tropical fruits growing on the property were the highlight of our breakfast . the obliging Ni Vanuatu gardener on the property who delighted in coming to our door with fresh coconuts and pawpaw . can't think of any negatives, it was a most enjoyable and relaxing three weeks

This is a very nice property and Lydia is the ultimate hostess. The resort next door has consistantly good food should you not wish to get some bits from the market and look after yourself. The big downside for us was that the wind blew straight in on us all day for our eight day stay and were not able to use our lovely deck or the hammocks, loungers etc or enjoy the snorkelling that everyone says is so wonderful there. Of course nobody is to blame for unfortunate weather but it certainly took the shine off an otherwise delightful stay.

Location -Tranquility - Clean - Very Comfortable - Best Host Ever
Lydia`s Bungalow would have to be the best location for snorkelling in Port Villa and surrounding area. The Bungalow is excellent with everything you could possibly need for a great holiday Tranquility and nature abounds Best Hostess ever - I mean the best ! I would have to suggest to anyone who was considering visiting Vanuatu make a stay at Villaducula a must. The locals are excellent and very friendly and willing to help in any way. Excellent - Well done Lydia .

Beautiful ocean front bungalow!
A fantastic place to stay. Lydia and Dave are very friendly and helpful. The villa is well designed with en-suite and a small kitchenette. Location is excellent if you enjoy relaxing peace and quiet. It is close to Port Vila (10 minutes) to drive in or catch a bus out the front. I would definitely go back to Villa Ducula!
