“The property showed its age and effects of proximity to the ocean. **************Host's Response************* Dee, We went out of our way to help you and George in the early stages of swap negotiation. George made it clear you were on a budget, hence the reason we suggested the cottage. Without the courtesy of contacting us (we lived 100 meters away) you up and left. This was an incredibly rude gesture. You owed us the common courtesy to discuss your concerns with us. The cottage is only 9 years old, it is well maintained, the garden is beautiful, the picket fence was partially repainted just before your arrival. The exterior was painted 12 months ago. Our gardener/maintenance man Daniel spoke to you twice, you never said a word to him about your dissatisfaction. Of course it’s near the sea, that is the allure of all 3 of our properties. ”

About our home
In-Di-Go Cottage, sits under an old mango tree fully fenced behind a white picket fence. This quaint cottage has been described by former guests as "cute as a button"
Situated in a new ex-pat gated subdivision, just 4km's from town.
50 metres to the warm azure water.
The subdivision juts out into the harbour, it is entirely surrounded by golden sand beaches. You are welcome to swim/snorkel from any beach within the subdivision, however beaches West to North are recommended.
Due to the horrendous cost of electricity in Vanuatu, if renting the cottage, we need to charge more per night if air-con is required. However, every room has ceiling fans, plus the outdoor undercover deck.
A brand new granite topped kitchen has been installed in April 2015. Plus a new bathroom Jan 2017.
For guests who wish to rent, the cost is $AU 100.00 p/n for up to 3 guests, and $20.00 p/n for additional guest. Plus we request a refundable $200 bond. Air Conditioning is available with a $15 p/n surcharge..

We semi retired when Ross was 36 to enable us to wander the world, which we have done every year for 30 years for 2-3 months.
We are now retired, and discovered Vanuatu a few years ago. We were very lucky to be able to buy the best site within the subdivision. We are experienced swap participants, with 20 odd swaps under our belt.
