Browse property in Tong Yan Loh

Tong Yan Loh lies within the island’s modest urban ribbon that hugs Flying Fish Cove – the main settlement known simply as “The Settlement.” The streets are framed by dense tropical rainforest and sheer coastal cliffs, with aluminium‑clad, cyclone‑proof homes of the 1970s Silver City development standing alongside other low‑rise dwellings that blend into the verdant landscape. A small supermarket and a handful of restaurants provide everyday convenience, while the quiet residential streets are punctuated by the occasional community garden and the island’s public library.

The suburb is linked to the outside world by the nearby container port at Flying Fish Cove and a regular QantasLink service from Perth, complemented by a fortnightly freight flight that brings fresh supplies. Roadways can become slick in the monsoon season and many tracks require four‑wheel‑drive vehicles; rental cars are available but limited, so visitors are advised to pre‑book. Essential amenities such as a P‑12 school, community radio station 6RCI, and broadband internet are all centred in the same coastal corridor, making Tong Yan Loh a well‑connected yet tranquil enclave on Christmas Island.
