Sunrise Bungalows
Tanna | Vanuatu


Welcome to Sunrise Bungalows, we are located in Turtle Bay, Manuapen, on the South East of the Island of Tanna, close to Mt Yasur Volcano and Port Resolution.

Our collection of bungalows and our restaurant are situated on top of a tree lined cliff overlooking the South Pacific Ocean. Here you can enjoy the breeze while viewing the coral reef below or Cook's Point Island at the end of the long stretch of secluded beach.

Sunrise is locally built, owned and managed and sits in harmony with the surrounding environment. Whether you are looking for a relaxing snorkel in our coral reef, are interested in local customs or the excitement of experiencing Mt. Yasur, an active volcano, Sunrise Bungalows is a wonderful choice.

We have several bungalows to suit your needs for singles, couples, families or groups, with either private or shared western style toilet and shower facilities. There is also space for camping and we do have spare tents if required. Mosquito nets are provided and we have our own generator for night time lighting and a fresh water supply.

"I was glad to stay at Sunrise Bungalows when visitng Mt Yasur Volcano. Had I stayed on the other side of the island and taken a day trip tour, my time at the volcano would have been much shorter as drivers are eager to start the long drive back. Meanwhile Sunrise Bungalows was just a short drive away and such a beautiful place to stay as well."
