Sunrise Lagoon Homestay

Wow where do I begin, from start to finish this stay was magical. Bags were carried to the room, accommodating to our big group (there was 8 of us).
Our host lithe was very friendly and welcoming, she really made us feel part of the family and safe at her home. The home cooked meals were delicious and never disappointing. There was also coffee and tea offered to us throughout the day.

There were daily activities available for an extra cost but it was reasonably priced. This included snorkelling with reef sharks, visiting the caves, fishing, fire dancing and lots more. They also invited us to play volleyball with the family.

Beautiful location and homestay experience
Food was great, vegetarian and fish. Lovely family and great island experience. So nice to see the children enjoying the water, fishing and relaxing on the island. 30 min walk to blue lagoon with crystal clear water. We were the only people there for 2 hours. Many activities to do if you are keen and the family will take you. We got very sunburnt the first day unfortunately so the fresh aloe Vera was great! We were in the ocean view buree which was nice for the evening breeze. Homemade ice creams and doughnuts a short walk down the beach.

The host family is extremely friendly and welcoming and the location is incredible. Just 20 minutes walking to the blue lagoon.
I highly recommend this place!

A wonderful stay with delightful hosts! Lice, Jo, and their big, beautiful family were so welcoming and hospitable. Our stay met and exceeded our expectations. The room and ensuite bathroom were simple and rustic just as advertised, but totally functional. We were blessed with beautiful sunsets and ocean sounds to lull us to sleep. Activities are reasonably priced, too. Make sure to bring sufficient cash to maximize activities! If you need cash in a pinch, there is a trail across the island to Nanuya Island Resort, and a shop where you can cash out (maximum $150 FJD). We went snorkeling and hand line fishing with Jo, who was very helpful (especially during fishing) and we did actually catch some fish! Meals are simple but delicious and usually include fresh pineapple and breadfruit (and will include the fish you catch if you go fishing). I recommend walking around the island during the day to meet the other homestay hosts and guests—the people are truly delightful! We played cards with the kids and chatted for hours with other hosts and guests. Lovely time with some lovely people. For those considering staying here, I couldn't recommend it enough: just remember that IT IS NOT A RESORT so don't expect it to be.

Don’t mistake Lice’s straight-to-the-point attitude as lack of friendliness - she is very caring and helpful and her island food is fantastic!
It’s the best place for an authentic experience of the local lifestyle, beautiful coral snorkeling, and remote work with very decent reception with Digicel.

La mejor isla de todo el archipielago si buscas una experiencia inmersiva para conocer la vida local. Familia muy amable y actividades maravillosas para hacer!

Eine wirklich außergewöhnliche Erfahrung. Wer Fidschi und seine Kultur kennenlernen möchte, sollte auf jeden Fall in Homestays wie diesen übernachten.

Great experience and detox, both digitally and gastronomic. The location was paradise. Fresh fruit and fish every day. Super people

Incredible homestay!
I had a very complicated drop-off from my previous homestay, which unfortunately cost me my camera, passport, and headphones. They were kind enough to try to help, but sadly it was too late. Still, during these two nights, I had such a great time — they are incredibly kind people, and the prices for the activities are very attractive! I highly recommend this place with my eyes closed!!

Thank you again ❤️

Le personnel est top !

Joe and Lice were fantastic hosts. They made us feel welcome, accommodated any needs and cooked fantastic meals for us. Couldn't ask for a more beautiful environment.
Would highly recommend to those who want to avoid resorts.

Je gaat echt terug naar de basics, zoek je luxe, dan moet je hier niet zijn. Hier ervaar je het echte pure eilandleven. Geweldige locatie, ons huisje stond op het strand pal aan zee. Ik mis het geluid van de zee nu al. Heerlijk wakker worden elke dag.
Je verblijft bij een familie, die elke dag voor je kookt. Het eten was echt heerlijk en meer dan genoeg. Je zit gezellig aan tafel met de rest van de gasten, er heerst een hele fijne ontspannen sfeer. En wat een prachtige omgeving. Dit was een ervaring om nooit weer te vergeten! Dit heeft veel meer charme dan in een hotel of resort verblijven!

The location is unbelievable. It is one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever been. It also had a large dorm room for our family of six. It was great value for money.

C'est exactement ce que nous attendons d'une véritable pension familiale. Bien sûr il n'y a pas de WiFi, pas d'électricité, peu de confort mais c'est normal ! L'essentiel est ailleurs ! On partage le quotidien de cette grande famille, on se repose, on profite de la plage, du levé de soleil, des glaces faites maison à 100 mètres. On rejoint régulièrement le Blue Lagoon située à 25 minutes de marche et on mange matin et soir (midi possible aussi) de bons repas copieux. On peut demander du thé ou café à tout moment. On peut recharger son téléphone et autre de 18h à 21h. On a appris beaucoup et on ne les oubliera pas ! Merci Ludé, Joe et leurs enfants.

Whatever the mama prepaired was great! Simple life - you eat what youre served:)

At first, the owner family seems a bit rough around the edges - but, with time, they eventually become lovely; honestly, of all the hotels on all the islands, Sunrise Lagoon was the one with the cheapest meal plan (10 for breakky, 10 for lunch, 20 for dinner). The food was a 3.5/5 (breakky is one deep fried option, one fruit option, tea or coffee - they don't have butter, and one can of jam per day for all guests to share, which is really uncomfortable)
Tea and coffee are free during the whole day, which is awesome
The location is amazing: beachfront, just a short walk away to the Blue Lagoon and other nice beaches on the island
The kids of the neighbouring villages (more precisely, the one where the tea shop is) are amazing and made my stay!
