The Hidden Lodge

Nestled in the residential showground area of South East Santo, The Hidden Lodge consists of a series of small bungalows around a communal garden and Kitchen. 

As it is a little more out of the way, you will need to take a short walk to the main road to get the bus, or the taxi rate from town is 300 Vatu. Charlie and his family also rent out their cars to guests at one of the most affordable rates on the island which we recommend doing. Wifi can sometimes be unreliable so it is a good idea to buy a SIM and data plan in town before your stay.
