This village home-stay was a joy and a privilege to experience, with true Fijian heart felt hospitality. The people are absolutely lovely here. You got to have a meal in a different home every day and meet the families. They will treat you with utmost respect so prefer to sit with you while you eat and then they eat later. It is their way of caring and respecting you so please dont feel it as rejection. The food was fantastically fresh and traditional with fresh fish, crab and locally sourced and grown fruit and veges. Life is simple and uncomplicated. Church is a big part of life here and at 6am and 6pm the huge log drum was used to summon parishioners.The singing was absolutely beautiful. The community hall got lot of use with meetings, cava ceremonies and gatherings. It was wonderful to see the local children arrive home from school in a small boat on Friday. Once they are over 9yrs they board at another location on the island to attend school together and come home every weekend to eagerly awaiting parents. The junior school in the village is very cute and the children love interaction. Given the true traditional nature of this unspoiled village you must keep to the traditions and not wear hats in the village and ladies must wear a sarong so no shorts, leggings or trousers. Drinking water is free and there are mosquito nets although I didnt experience any mosquitoes. No shop here but you can charge your phone. If you can bring any medical supplies such iodine, bandages, bandaids and dressings please do as the local health centre is a boat trip away and supplies can be limited for them. They will soo very much appreciate your kindness. Please do not bring plastics as they cannot be recycled. Any supplies for the school will also be gratefully received. Get cava for the chief if you can as this a a traditional gift. The best is the very long thick rooted type from Nandi market but it is pricey. Otherwise just bring a big smile :0)

The food! We would like to give the chef a HUGE thumbs up! So delicious and nice. I also liked the visit to the school and village. Everyone is so nice, and it was truly an unforgettable experience for us. And it was very lucky that our last day was FIJI National Day! We attended the ceremony. It was fun, and I was a bit touched when seeing Fijians being so proud of their country. It's also the National Day of my country, but I've never attended this kind of ceremony to show my love and respect.

This was the most unbelievable place to stay if you want complete calm & serenity. It is totally removed from the outside world & is an oasis of calm & peace. The staff are amazing & most of them are islanders who are totally invested in Oarsman Bay & the experience that they want their guests to have. The whole ethos behind Oarsman Bay is wonderful & how it helps & supports the wider community of the island. Fantastic snorkeling, amazing food, wonderful staff.

We loved it so much! We stayed 7 days in a dorm tent and it was very comfortable and got cleaned every day. We went snorkeling every day from all of the 3 beaches and saw so many different fishes and corals. It was beautiful! But as muck diving lovers we enjoyed the muck diving with Rob the most! We were fortunate enough to find 3 different types of the rare Shaun the Sheep nudibranch, a ghostpipefish and even a seahorse. 🥰

Fantastic food. Beach is nice and the reef has amazing visibility. Some of the best snorkeling i have done. Shark dive is also super fun though it is on the pricier side of things (still reasonable). They offer shark and coral talks in the evenings which are free and super informative.

facilities are in very good condition, everyone was super friendly and helpful, Good Food. Also the diving was very nice. I recommend staying here, it was great!
