There isn't anything they can't build or fix. You can't imagine how essential this is to their vision of a private island paradise with comfortable modern facilities and your enjoyment of the resort they created on this isolated little island in Vanuatu. The first thing they did was set up an astonishing infrastructure - generators, workshop, miniature slipway for their boats, sewage treatment facility, rain catchment areas and tanks, laundry area, a wharf and floating dock for guests and supplies, and they helped the people of Tutuba Island build a mini-village for the staff, complete with school facilities, playing field, medical clinic and church. All the staff of the resort come from Tutuba and since they are the land owners, they have a vested financial interest in making sure everything is perfect and safe for you as a guest of the resort. Dave and Alan, with the aid of the people of Tutuba Island, built everything for your enjoyment, the restaurant, kitchen, bar, the very best freshwater swimming pool in Vanuatu with a swim-up bar, the walking trail through the forest, the dive boats, the dive shop, volley ball court and other lawn games, the library, internet connection, and of course the farés. The accommodation is first rate, high quality facilities that operate 24 hrs a day. You really should have a look behind the scenes when you are there - at the kitchen, the work shop, the desalination plant, even the sewage treatment facility and realize that these were created and are maintained on a day to day basis by a couple of Aussie guys with serious know-how and committment. Jan, Dave's wife, also plays an active role - she does the book keeping, grows some magnificent orchids (both indigenous and exotic) and makes sure the beauty of the resort blends in perfectly with the rainforest and the sea. All of this was and is done with complete respect for the natural setting. Walk out of your waterfront Faré and you are standing under huge beach trees festooned with native ferns and orchids that are probably over 100 years old. There are no cats or dogs or chickens on the island and this protects not only your peaceful sleeping at night, it protects the rare native birds in the virgin rainforest that covers the island. The trash and non-compostable garbage is all taken to Santo - not buried or burned on the island. The sewage is treated with a very modern bio-treatment plant that you would never know is there. The water in your faré is soft and safe to drink - captured from rain and desalinated from the sea. The electrical generators are far from the bungalows so you don't hear them running, but they run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There are two different generator systems designed to conserve energy - supplying different levels of electricity depending on use. The SCUBA diving compressor is kept in perfect condition. The Vanuatu resort's dive boat, fishing boat and speed boat are ready to go all the time. It's really just amazing. The villagers keep the resort supplied with fresh fish and lobsters - but not from the reefs that you can enjoy by snorkelling right from the white sand beach in front of your Faré. Nobody fishes the reefs or takes specimens from the reef or anchors on the reef. To see more photos of Bokissa private Island Resort Vanuatu click on the camera
