Amazing

My girlfriend and I, in our elder years, had an amazingly 9 day stay on the island. Everything was explained to us in advance and we knew we would have very basic facilities. We were treated as royalty with nothing too much trouble for our hosts and the villiagers. Food was plentiful, happy smiling faces plentiful also. Our interaction with the children and the community was flawless. Their singing was mesmerising. As long as you are prepared for basic but clean conditions then this is definitely a 5 star stay. Thank you Paula, Bill and the community.

Fijian adventure

We had a wonderful week staying with Bill, Polla, Api, Nani, Sarah, Moses, Dam, Omni and Jim. It truly was a cultural immersion, where we lived like a Fijian villager, but we ate like Fijian kings - thanks to the womens' amazing cooking skills with produce sourced mainly from their backyard and the ocean. The family's local knowledge made our daily adventure trips to several of Fiji's natural treasures even more amazing. There is good coral snorkelling off the beach that is a shell's throw from our accomodation, as well as off the beach behind the school. Trips to Castaway Island, the limestone cave, snorkling with sharks, the walk up the mountain and others were excellent. Visits to the church service and school were delightful. We loved the beating of the traditional drum early in the morning and evening calling families to pray. Some tips if you plan to visit from overseas: - buy a Vodafone sim (Digicel is useless on the island) - bring your own snorkels to ensure a perfect fit - bring hats with good straps under the chin to ensure they stay on during the boat rides - consider bringing stationary items for the local school - bring cards and books for rest times - come with a flexible attitude as you wont have several of your western comforts. We highly recommend this stay for those who are adventurous and outdoor inclined.

Amazing experience

We had a wonderful time! Our host Polla was so caring and helpful and made us feel a part of village life. Her cooking was fantastic! The bungalow by the beach was basic but had everything we needed and was an excellent location. We really got to experience true Fiji. Visiting the school and joining in the rugby were great, and attending church and the amazing singing was a highlight. We also enjoyed snorkelling, a sunset hike and many relaxing hours by the beach. Polla was incredibly busy but still made us feel so welcome. We would highly recommend this home stay!

Thankyou to Bill and Paula for a truly memorable holiday. My family of 5 had the most amazing time. Initial culture shock was quickly overcome and from airport transfers, full board and activities Bill will arrange it all. We felt at home, safe and part of the community. We promised the local children to visit again and we will. Vinaka to Bill and the entire village.

A fantastic experience

We had a brilliant stay with Bill and Paula. It was a rare opportunity to stay in an island community and connect with local people, as well as spend some time living on Fiji time in a beautiful location. One couple had a bungalow on the beach, the other a room in the main house. We ate on a deck with the most amazing views or watched the sunset from the beach. Getting to know Bill and Paula was such a blessing and we also enjoyed visiting the school and church (amazing singing!), spending time playing with the village children and great snorkelling - straight off the beach and also the snorkelling with reef shark experience. Accommodation is basic and please dont expect high level conviences to be available, but food was plentiful and tasty. Be prepared for 1.5 to 2 hour transfers by long boat, dependent on conditions. Sunscreen and spray jacket advisable for the trip. Vinaka Bill and Paula ❤
