It is quite remote, no traffic. Beautiful experience and you are supporting a village of good peoole

Our unit ( 1 of 2) was right on the beach front. A lovely family from their nearby village cared for us. This is a real Fiji experience. Called a homestay but guests are not sharing the home of the family. Tranquil, peaceful, snorkelling straight from the beach frontage. The family cook all meals of excellent quality. I am gluten free and it was easy. Lots of fish and chicken. Fresh fruit and coconuts and natural s po ring water We are in our seventies and it was a valuable and very enjoyable 4 night stay. We recommend it.

Worth knowing

Sadly I saw plenty of rubbish on our walks and I don't see a regular collection service. Plastic bottles are a real problem?

There's only two rooms on the homestay and we were the only guest there for most of our stay. Rooms were clean comfortable, food was lovely home cooked traditional meals. Max jo and the family were lovely. Very welcoming

Worth knowing

There was nothing to not like I would definitely recommend. Just remember its a homestay so there no shop to by food / drinks if you dont like the food.

Sehr sympathisches, wunderschön gelegenes Homestay mit tollem, authemtischem Essen

Einfache aber saubere Zimmer (es sind 2 verfügbar), sehr freundliche Gastgeber, Transfer zur Fähre hat gut geklappt, Essen "original Fiji style" - sehr lecker; reichhaltige Angebote (z.B. Manta-Schnorcheln). Unglaublich freundliche und liebevolle Menschen, die man kennenlernen kann, wenn man es möchte - die einem aber auch Freiraum lassen. Wanderungen auf der Insel möglich (Dorf, Kirche, Schule, Resort, zum Berggipfel - besser geführt)

Worth knowing

Einem muss bewusst sein, ein homestay und kein Resortaufenthalt zu buchen. Elektrischer Strom ist nicht in unbegrenzten Mengen verfügbar, was aufgrund der Lage klar sein sollte.

Food was delicious, loved the home-cooked meals. Family was so kind! Location was beautiful! Felt like our own private island!

Worth knowing

There was no wifi connection, nor was there any service. We had to pay with cash; we were not aware they didn't accept any form of card. We wish they stated cash only

Prachtige locatie en goede accommodatie voor een goede prijs

Je krijgt echt waar voor je geld en een goed idee hoe de lokale bevolking leeft. Het eten was erg lekker en je kunt er verschillende activiteiten doen.

Worth knowing

Tijdens eb is het lastig om te gaan zwemmen maar dat is niet iets wat direct met de accommodatie te maken heeft.

波の音と風の音、静かで、風通りもよく、日光浴もベランダで出来に、海へのアクセスもすぐに行けた。ベッドは寝心地が最高でした。3食の食事も美味しく楽しみでした。マイカさんファミリーは親切で干渉もなく、ゆっくりと穏やかな時間が過ごせました。 ゆっくり休息できて、素晴らしい滞在でした。
