Is anyone here familiar with Luganville living conditions and housing?

Hi,

We are planning our move to Luganville this summer (northern hemisphere seasons) to work in development aid and natural resource management in Vanuatu.
I am Dutch and currently reside in Germany with my wife and two young children (aged 4 and 1yrs).

We are very exited to come and experience Vanuatu, but of course there are many questions as we have never visited before. We have travelled quite a bit so we are confident we will adapt and make things work, but it would be nice to meet other expats and residents that could give some advice to us.  Is anyone here familiar with Luganville living conditions and housing options? We are looking for long term rental options as my contract will be fixed for two years at least.

Looking forward to your replies!

Cheers,
Coen

I haven't made it out there yet, myself (still planning to move there, hopefully soon), but I have found some useful expat videos on youtube. 

Try these:

Good luck.

Thanks vanuatucurious! Interesting Vlog.

Does anybody know if riding a bicycle is common over there? And would it be easy to find affordable second hand bikes?
