This guest house is 10 minutes walk from the airstrip on the island of Linua. It is run by a delightful well educated retired teacher Whiteley Toa and his wife Elsie. The are helped by Margaret, Elsie's sister and Margaret's husband Ken does the transport across to Loh by dugout outrigger (check price first).
There are four very pleasant simple huts (which Whiteley says he is going to renovate) with a good bucket shower and bucket flush modern toilet.
The food is amazing with a huge variety and more than one can ever eat. Coconut crab are always on the menu (check out the ethics of eating them since they do not start to reproduce until 15 years old and may be eaten to extinction) and often fish. There was plenty of taro, yam, pawpaw (pawpaw salad with lime and chile and coconut ceam and on another occasion baked pawpaw) and manioc. One one occasion we had tapioca, which is taken from the core of the Natangora palmtree. Lots and lots of coconut milk, the pumpkin in coconut and pumkin tips being particularly irresistible. There were yam fritters, once with coconut crab meat inside, sometimes fresh bread and always a happy smile. You will not be hungry.
However if there is anything you cannot live without bring it with you since boats only call once every 2 to 3 months.
There is a 15 minute walk to the other side of the island to Honeymoon beach which is a beautiful sandy beach with sparking azure water and good snorkelling further out at low tide.
Where is their daughter Little Elsie?
