The Blue Banana is absolutely fantastic and has everything you need. With only three fales there is more than enough room and privacy. Shane and Chris are great hosts and have so much local knowledge. The fales are self catering and the breakfast hampers and fish platters you can order are very generous in size and reasonable in price. Everything... More

Perfect place to stay for a complete unwind & relax type of holiday! Amazing to wake up each morning looking out to the sea, then go to sleep at night to the sound of the waves. Our fale had everything we needed to self cater. The breakfast platter lasted us for 3 days, the fish platter was amazing! BBQ, sun... More

Chris and Shane are fantastic hosts, oh and not forgetting their dog Ccino! They helped make our stay a real delight and we just about felt like locals when we left, cooking with fresh mahi mahi, BBQing crayfish and experimenting with kola, limes, chillies and things fresh from the market. Our fale was equipped with everything we needed and had... More

The property is LEGIT BEACHFRONT and AMAZING to say the least , The fales are clean , comfortable... More

Besides the already famous qualities of the Blue Banana Beach House, I really feel like I should say something about the fish you guys can have each day at a really reasonable price. First of all, it is not only fish: in fact, it comes with a variety of vegetables and fruits. We stayed at BB for almost one week... More

Having the opportunity every evening, to serve you both the beautiful bounty of Tonga, was our absolute pleasure. The fruits and vegetables at the time of your stay were exceptional. The island could not consume the amount of produce it produced. The seasons change and so too my fish platter and that is the exciting thing about this dish. It... More

My friend and I stayed for a week at blue banana after travelling Indonesia, Australia and Fiji. After some partying and meeting many new people it was the ideal place to conclude our extended vacation. Located at tongatapus best beach blue banana is very secluded and all week we had the beach to ourselves (though this might be due to... More

My husband and I stayed at the Blue Banana recently and we really enjoyed the experience. It is owned by an amazing Aussie couple who made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to make our time there, perfect. The property is on the main island and is situated on one of the best beaches there. There... More

Absolutely perfect! This is a low-key, very quiet place with just three small huts by the beach (one of them ensuite, the others with their own bathroom 10 metres up the path). You are far away from it all, just ten steps to the beach - if you're lucky, you'll spot whales form your veranda! The snorkelling is very good... More

We stayed 1 week in the largest of 3 fales, Maui, which is self-contained and has private bathroom facilities. Comfortable and loads of privacy. Location is beautiful, reef approx 100m from beach that breaks the surf waves so our little 2 year-old daughter could have a swim as well. Being on the Northwestern tip of Tongatapu it's a bit away... More

The Blue Banana Beach House is paradise, sadly we could only stay 3 nights. The Blue Banana is a perfect location, only metres from an almost deserted beach. Chris and Shane were fantastic hosts and made us feel most welcome. Vai was a fantastic and entertaining driver who picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. Although we... More
