Such a lovely part of the world
Pros:

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.

Cons:

The facilities were basic, be prepared to live the island life. Make sure the bring towels and body wash etc.

Loved the experience. Very relaxing being away from city life!
Pros:

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.

Cons:

It was tricky to find our way on the path so a small sign would help when you are hot

Beautiful stay with lovely host family!
Pros:

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.

Cons:

All my clothes are sandy now :(

Pros:

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.

Unbelievable
Pros:

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 ❤️

Cons:

Nothing

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.

Ervaar het pure Fiji eiland leven
Pros:

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!

Cons:

Misschien iets vaker schone handdoeken. Bed lag niet zo heel fijn
