The fale was basic, but comfortable with good facilities. Marvellous views out to the reef and beyond. Great walks along a deserted beach - walked the whole length of it and saw no-one else. The bathroom was outside, but no inconvenience, except when we had a heavy downpour. Chris and Shane were very hospitable and interesting. They have lived on... More

Just got home from a week of total relaxation and fun. The beach is beautiful, with a gorgeous pink/golden sand. The water was so clear it was like looking through glass. The variety of fish was incredible, each time we went out we saw something new. Chris and Shane thank you for helping make our holiday so wonderful, you really... More

A marvelous, laid back rustic with a flair beach bungalow!stunning ocean and lagoon view from your own Fale, or hanging out on the sun deck over looking the beach. Very special staff, and the owners Chris and Shane ....so friendly, helpful fun people, who make your stay more than memorable. The reef and snorkeling out front, some of the best!... More

To be honest Tonga will not be our favourite travel destination. But if Nuku’alofa then definitely Blue Banana. There is a beautiful beach in front of the bungalows. The bungalows are spacious, quiet, nice furnished and the kitchen is fitted with everything you’ll need for cooking. They also have got a BBQ in the garden. The hosts Shane & Chris... More

Went for a week of quiet reading, snorkelling and hopefully some whale spotting, and we weren't disappointed. Only 3 fales and peaceful bliss. Was snorkelling every day and also the excellent fish platter (almost every day as well). Bring as much food as you can and arrange to stop for groceries/veggies if your flight arrives early enough and avoid the... More

We went to Blue Banana to spend New Year's Eve to welcome in the New Year on the dateline. As we are a middle aged couple we didn't want to party with the youngsters but instead chose to spend our time independently and together. Our first wish for 2013 was to chill out and this is exactly what happened when... More

We had a lovely time here. Chris and Shane are fantastic hosts and the fale is great. Sunsets on the water, morning and evening swims, and some of the freshest fruit you will ever find. Word to the wise... make sure you bring some of your own food if you are travelling around public holidays. We didn't plan very well... More

We stayed at the Blue Banana in late August (a bit late in doing this review), the place is amazing. Really relaxed and chilled out holiday. We stayed for seven nights and it felt longer. The Maui fale was nice and spacious, basic but clean. The hosts Chris & Shane are truly lovely people very relaxed and welcoming, they look... More

We had two weeks at the Blue Banana at it was just what we were after - very laid back. We stayed in the Maui which is the most spacious and private of the three fales. The kitchen is well equipped and the fale is comfortable and well set out. The pace was very easy to adjust to and being... More
