Close to town, great atmosphere, good food available & value for money, clean rooms, internet access available. If your looking for things to do and see just ask Jack & Janelle for some friendly unbiased information.

Great, fun place to stay. The set up (centralized meeting table, pool, and kitchen facilities) encouraged interactions among the guests. Jack (owner) was extremely accommodating and took the time to answer all our questions. He also helped us to have the best sailing/SCUBA and horseback riding experiences of all our travels. Regina’s (staff member) calm demeanor and sunny personality made... More

This is the perfect base for all your Vanuatu travels. Janelle and Jack are warm and helpful, with great ideas, enthusiasm, and thoughtfulness. They've created an inviting space where you will feel welcomed but not smothered, cared about but not doted on. There's a great atmosphere of adventure and comity, where travelers swap stories and ideas over coffee in the... More

Small (9 rooms + dorm), unpretentious B&B made "special" by the warmth and character of the owners, Jack and Janelle. I spent almost 4 weeks here on a business trip and would love to return for a vacation. 10 minutes walk from the town center, each room has a kitchenette and the main kitchen is available for use by all...

We did plenty of research before booking our stopover in Vila, and this place was a great option. It's not flash, but its clean, tidy and the guys are really friendly and helpful. They also do a mean home cooked breakfast, so do that!

Janelle and Jack helped out with some tricky tourist information that I was finding difficult to source. They were very efficient and polite. I approached these people because of their positive reviews and was not disappointed. It is comforting and reassuring to know that there are people who will go out of their way to help.

You can just turn up at Travellers without having done any research into Port Vila and it won't matter- Jack or Janelle will sort out your needs. They seems to know most people and places in Vanuatu (not just Vila) and can recommend things to do, see and where to eat, how to get around like no where else. The... More

I should have written this a year ago after our stay but for lots of small reasons I never did it.

When looking around for accomodation in Port Villa I stumbled upon the Traveller's Budget Motel on a Google search. I didn't know what to expect. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly smile by Janelle-at about mid-night when I arrived. I was quickly shown around the place and instantly felt at home. The rooms are clean and tidy, the...

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Traveller's Budget Motel is Port Vila's best value for money accommodation. Despite our budget category, the owner-managers have meticulously attended to every detail inside and out, to ensure your stay is relaxing and comfortable. The difference is apparent as soon as you step foot onto the property. The gardens are beautifully landscaped, rooms are tastefully decorated and well lit, showers are clean, sheets are crisp and serviced daily. We believe everyone who visits Vanuatu is entitled to five-star hospitality. All rooms have cold remote controlled air-conditioning as well as ceiling fans, en-suite with shower, kitchenette, bar fridge, microwave and TV. Each room has free data and wireless internet connection. An outside nakamal with full cooking facilities overlooks a sparkling blue 8.5 metre pool. This is a relaxing place to sit and read. Located just 10 minutes walk from the shopping and restaurant precinct of Port Vila, the beautiful lagoons, beaches and attractions are either a short walk or drive away. ... more   less
