Troppo Mystique

Port Vila

Great accomodation.It was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the lagoon and surrounds in a comfortable and quiet location

Great stay

Covid finally over!  Do not skip over Troppo Mystique!  Although a tricky place to get to the driver is really only 10 or so minutes from town.  The view is stunning - across the lagoon.  The hosts (Annie and Garry) are really friendly and accommodating.  The units are modern and tastefully decorated  -like a real house, not a cookie cutter hotel room or apartment at all.  The location is very VERY quiet.

One of the best secrets near Port Vila

One of the most beautiful places we have stayed.  The spot was just magical.  Our hosts Annie and Gary were wonderfully helpful and went out of their way to make us welcome and looked after.  Can’t wait to come back to visit.  The sunsets are simply beautiful.

Troppo Fantastic

My Wife and myself stayed at Troppo Mystique over Christmas and New Year. We were welcomed by the owners who diffinatly went the extra mile to make our holiday a very pleasant stay.
The room was extremly comfortable and we were impressed with the emmentities, like the full size fridge, the hammocks on the deck, the BBQ on the water front was an amassing place to eat in the evenings and watch the most amassing Sun-Sets.
We loved our visits into town on the local and interesting Buses, and meet some lovely people. The local markets are just great, you can buy very fresh fruit and vegetables and the Pineapples and Mangoes are out of this world for taste and flavour. The local shops and cafes give good service and generous servings.
Our first visit to Port Villa, and certainly not our last, we would personally recommend Troppo Mystique and Port Villa for a great holiday.

Fantastic Holiday

When we arrived at the airport there was was no one there to pick us up, but in fairness we had not received an email from Troppo Mystique confirming our arrival arrangements. We were picked up and transported to the accommodation stopping off on the way to collect some groceries for our stay. Troppo Mystique provides a self contained cabin and that is all. So you will need to stock up on supplies before you arrive. There is no TV only some old DVDs.

The accommodation is set in ideallic  surrounds just watch out for falling coconuts. 

The cleanliness of the rooms was not we have come to expect on our travels.
We had glasses, dishes plus pots and pans that had not be cleaned properly. We requested that the oven be cleaned before we would cook on it which was done. The BBQs also needed a good clean. The cupboards were dirty and there  were spider webs hanging from the ceiling of the unit and behind the bed head. Following  a heavy burst of rain our kitchen and lounge room floors were flooded through holes in the roof so we had to move to another cabin. 

You should consider hiring a car because Troppo Mystique is out of Port Villa. Yes a local bus is available but runs on Vanuatu time not a structured timetable or necessarily a consistent route. The Vanuatu people are really lovely and the children very inquisitive and loads of fun to engage with. 

Catch the "tinny" to Erakor Island resort the beer is cold and the cocktail list expansive. The food is great but expect the pay the same price you would for a meal in either Sydney or Melbourne (if your an Aussie) in other words it is expensive. It cost us for a 2 course meal plus drinks over $200AU. But the food is good and the service first rate, very down to earth.

Our overall experience was disappointing. Firstly because of the time of year that we went, February, super humid. In fact the humidity at times was unbearable. This meant everything felt damp, your clothes, the bedding, the lounges. My wife and I have travelled extensively through Europe, Asia and the South Sea islands this was our tick the bucket list trip to Vanuatu.

The water in the lagoon is warm and there are broken bits of coral on the sea floor so be careful where you step. You also need to be aware of inquisitive sea snakes although we did not encounter any, thank God, and we were told there are rather large sea slugs that inhabit the lagoon.  

Finally, Troppo Mystique is starting to show her age. There is a need for some repair and maintenance to be done by professional trades people not just the local handyman.

Disappointed

The spot was just perfect and beautiful and Annie and Gary were so welcoming and helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had a great time.  Could not have picked a better spot on the Island. The view from the villa was perfect for an Island holiday.  Tranquil and stunning. cant wait to come back for a visit.

We stayed at Troppo Mystique for 7 days over Xmas, and it was exceptional. No busy resort, it was a great stay for adults, with 4 villas on the property.The owners are very hands on and knowledgeable of the island. Lovely sunsets, with boat trips to Erakor Island and the Warwick for dinner and drinks. A little removed from Port Vila but that was a bonus for us. All the amenities you could want, including a fully equipped kitchen which was super handy. All in all a great stay was had for a great budget.

Awesome Place

We stayed here for a week and it is fabulous! The owner is particularly helpful and has a great knowledge of the island. Boats can pick you up to take you across the bay for dinner at a couple of restaurants which is quite special. The island is worth exploring and it is surprisingly lush. The town has all you need food wise and be sure to get your fruit and veg at the local market. So much choice. Beware of some of the roads though many potholes! Sunsets are fabulous.

Paradise!!!

We spent 11 wonderful nights at Troppo Mystique. No swimming pool, no restaurant, no organised activities – simply a perfect secluded get away with just 4 self-contained bungalows on Erakor Lagoon. We stayed in Coco Villa with absolute lagoon views from our huge patio and bedroom. A 40 metre walk across the grass and we were in the clear, warm waters. The hosts, Annie and Garry, were terrific; they gave us local information and stopped by for an occasional chat or to drop off some papaws. Annie recommended Remo, who picked us up from the airport, for any trips we wanted to take. He took us out and about for a day at a very reasonable price. The villa had everything we needed including a fully equipped kitchen and a very comfortable king size bed. We shopped in Port Vila which has everything you need to self-cater. We enjoyed preparing our meals in the evenings to no particular timetable and relaxing with a glass or two of wine watching the sun set over the lagoon. We couldn’t ask for more, it was a total chill out for us. Thanks Annie and Garry.
