What it’s really like:

THIS is where I fell in love with Fiji! We were on an island, hours away from anywhere, forced to chill and soak up the peace and tranquillity.

Meal times are set to accommodate those staying in the 11 bures. The food is simple and delicious, made from local ingredients and in the Fijian style.

I loved the kokoda cooking class (and also fell in love with kokoda for the first time). It was made from fish the boys caught while they took us on a snorkelling trip that morning, then they climbed the coconut tree and went through the process to get the milk. It was so interesting and fresh!

The day trips were great, the snorkelling was out of this world! We had a fresh fish bbq right on the beach.

They had a wonderful massage bure in the beautiful tropical garden too. Bliss.

I chose this place because of the reviews and value for money. Just be aware that you may need to stay the night in Nadi on the day you arrive, then grab the ferry for the 5hr trip each way.

I last stayed here in July, 2022.
