It was perfect for us.

We were in Fiji for a month and this was our favorite home stay! Shoutout to Mary for the cooking lesson and the best food of our trip! Sam and Sera were fantastic hosts!

I really couldn't praise this place enough, and highly recommend it for a visit to Taveuni Island. The absolute standout is the wonderful Sam, Sarah and their family, so welcoming and so full of life. I felt immediately relaxed putting my time on the island in their hands, not only for accommodation, but also for absolutely delicious food and a fantastic tour of the island by Sam's son, both the west and the east coast. Being so close to the airport is a bonus to be able to arrive and leave with ease, but also to be able to watch the planes take off and land which was a treat. There are also two good mini-markets a short walk away, and I highly recommend a sundowner, coffee, meal or just a great chillout place at The Dive Cafe Bar and Grill a short walk away too. Highly recommended, and thank you for making me feel so at home Sam, Sarah, son and family :D

Sam and Sarah welcomed me into their family in the warmest way possible. I was treated like one of the family; they led me wherever I wanted to go. The food was delicious, and in the evenings, there were often visitors to spend pleasant moments with.

Sarah and family had been extremely helpful and accommodating. They helped booking all activities and stepped in to resolve issues if any difficulties. The location was great and food was fantastic. Sarah's husband Sam has provided transport for us to attend our activities and trips to the bank and ATM machine with very reasonable fee. They have incredible local knowledge and tried everything to help. Sam picked us from the airport and saw us off at the airport. This was a very comfortable stay making us feel ease and home like. We had a wonderful time on the island, thanks very much for Sarah's family.

The stay with Sarah & Sam and the whole family was simply indescribably beautiful. I felt like a member of the family from the very first second. The rooms were very clean and had everything you need. The food cooked by Mery, if desired at extra cost, but the quality and flavour better than any Fijian gourmet restaurant. The tours I went on with Sam were unique. Lots of stories and wisdom that made me laugh, along with the cultural knowledge of the country and its people. I will miss you. Out of a possible 10 points I would give you an 11. Vinaka and Mode, Karin

I cannot express how much my cousin and I loved our stay with Sarah. She was a wonderful host - I felt like I was staying at my favorite Aunt’s house for a week. She was joking around with us within minutes of our arrival like we were old friends. Anything we wanted, she made happen. We wanted to rent a car and her friend Samir had one delivered to her house in half an hour. We needed a guide for a hike and she called someone up and had him scheduled to meet us the next day in mere minutes. If you want something on Taveuni, Sarah knows how to make it happen. Granted, Taveuni is a small island, but I was still impressed with how well-known Sarah is within the community. Locals asked where we were staying and we merely needed to respond “at Sarah’s” to receive a knowing nod. I was concerned that staying close to the airport would mean a lot of plane noise but I didn’t fully grasp just how small the Taveuni airport was until I saw it. (There is no security.) Only a few small planes arrive/depart each day. The first is after 8am and the last is before dark. Breakfast was included with our stay and Sarah was sure to never let my cousin, who would work out in the yard at sunrise, go hungry. (She made him 6+ eggs for breakfast every morning!) We also ate Sarah’s home-cooked dinners four of the six nights we stayed with her and they were all delicious. She made PLENTY of food, even for my cousin who devoured a whole chicken by himself. I found myself rolling into bed each evening after dining at sarah’s table, full of ceviche, chicken, lamb, beef, fish, soup, cassava, rice, salad, mashed potatoes, roti, eggplant, bread, etc etc. And Sarah’s listing doesn’t say so, but each bedroom DOES have air conditioning!! We slept so well every night and my bed was super comfy. As is the case on every tropical island I’ve ever been to, there are roosters, but they barely bothered me even tho I am a light sleeper. (Maybe bring earplugs just in case.

We loved our stay with Sarah and Sam, their home cooking was the best food we had in Fiji - it was a feast every night. This is not a luxury resort by any means and nor should it be, but it was perfectly clean and very comfortable and has a beautiful snorkelling spot nearby. Sam also took us to do the amazing Lavena coastal walk. Taveuni is a beautiful island and we had a wonderful stay at Aeroview.

I have nothing to dislike.

I loved the way the hostess treated us like family. We loved waking up with the awsome sunrise view over the ocean. Sarah' s cooking was delicious. The whole family is lovely. We would come back again and again!

After our four day stay, we were very sad to leave this lovely home with an even more lovely host and hostess. Sam and Sarah made us feel at home and comfortable from the start. We had such a beautiful stay in Taveuni. The grounds of Aero View were lined with so many tropical blossoming flowers to enjoy. The food rivaled any restaurant in the area, and the company was delightful. We would definitely come back for another stay!

If you're looking for an authentic Fijian experience, this is the place to be. Sarah, Sam and the rest of the family were absolutely adorable and welcomed us with open arms from the moment we landed in Taveuni. It's cosy and comfortable. Keep in mind that it's a local Fijian home and not a hotel. Full breakfast is freshly prepared in the morning. It's also possible to have dinner with the family for FJD 40 - the best food we had in Fiji, a delicious feast. Sam offers tours around the island to main attractions as well in case you don't have a rental car.

Sarah and Sam were so incredibly accommodating during our stay. They helped us with our scuba diving & car hire - so helpful!! We got to taste some amazing home cooked Fijian meals, we were never left hungry. Definitely going to miss the family and will be reminiscing about this lovely stay.

The hospitality of Sarah and Sam and their children. They take you in their home so easily and make you feel most welcome. An overall authentic Fijian experience with the best Fijian food!

Sam and Sarah have the ability to make people feel welcomed, and part of the family. Home cooked meals, freshly picked fruit, telling stories, the feeling of being home - these are things that can't be found at luxury resorts. During our stay, my partner and I did not have to worry about transportation, or going hungry; everything we needed was there. Sam would drive us around Taveuni, teaching us about Fijian culture, showing us different parts of the island, and showing off his witty sense of humor. Sarah made sure all of our needs were taken care of, offering us delicious food, teaching us things like how to pick fruit, and showing us how to cook authentic Fijian meals. Together, they work harmoniously to really make Aeroview what it is - a well-run, welcoming home. Sam, Sarah, and their family, showed us true Fijian hospitality, and created one of my favorite travel experiences.

I wish I stayed much longer.

We had an amazing stay with Serah and her family. They are incredibly kind and looked after us so well. We enjoyed the homestay aspect and were made to feel like one of the family. Rooms and beds were really comfy, the breakfast every morning was delicious. We also enjoyed some great dinners with everyone. The location of AeroView is convenient for visiting both sides of Taveuni and they gave us excellent recommendations for activities on the island. Vinaka vaka levu and best wishes

We loved our stay with this gorgeous family. Super comfortable bed, space to ourselves if we wanted it and fantastic company also. Breakfast was wonderful. Really can’t say enough as to the value in so many ways of staying here. Sarah cooked us dinner one night also and it was one of the best meals we have had in Fiji and very generous of course. If you need transport Sam was a great driver and we loved being shown around by him. Just fabulous!!!

At the end, when I paid the dinners and the only trip I did, I was charged twice for the dinners. I didn't like this...so I decided not to come back in February.

To stay in a local family and stare their life

Melas was great. Better than Maravu.

The only thing that could be better is the shared bathroom and Sarah is in the process of doing that! Still, it was truly never a problem.

It was a wonderful experience to stay with Sarah and her family. The house is clean and cared for. There is nothing you could ask for that this family would not do for you. Sinners were available and the cook who came every day is a magician. Her food is outstanding and plentiful. Even tours and rides were available. If you want to experience local culture in a wonderful environment, this is your place.
