The island was so tropical with bright blues and greens everywhere. I had the two dogs join me for hikes and sunset walks often, they were great company. The family was also very helpful and welcoming. Food was good standard for what you pay, and same with the room. Definitely recommend home stays instead of resorts if you want a more remote and real Fijian experience.

Not much to not like! All I can think of is that there was only one reclining chair on the grass by the beach. We could have done with two. There were ordinary plastic chairs available.

This was different from other homestays I stayed in; not exactly in somebody's home, but more than a hostel. The staff all knew my name. The dormitory was spacious. There was no electricity in the dormitory, but they provided a small battery powered lamp. I got used to the cold showers. There were buckets and bowls with free washing powder for washing clothes in the stored rainwater. They sold bottled water in the kitchen. There was electricity in the dining area for charging phones, although it was not available all day. The sockets are Australian pattern, so make sure you have the right adapter with you. Communal meals were good and we were serenaded by a singer with a guitar. I was a solo traveller, so the communal meals and evening with the other guests was welcome. There was a house selling delicious homemade ice cream along the beach. Two of us bought the same ice cream and I got diarrhoea but my friend was OK. Loperamide sorted it quickly, so make sure you have some with you! The beach was beautiful. It was windy at the time of year I went. The sea was calm enough to swim in some days and there was a more sheltered beach to swim at if you walked over the top of the island to the resort on the other side. You could withdraw cash at that resort, either from the shop or ATM. Somebody was offering lunch outside a home by the beach there, which was good. On the day when wind dropped and the sea was calm enough they organised a snorkelling with sharks trip on the coral reef between the islands. They provided snorkelling gear. Highly recommended if you like that sort of holiday.

Facilities and bed could be updated but fine for what we paid

Being right on the beach and being able to walk to blue lagoon. It was great to play cards and chat with the other travellers too.

Such a lovely homestay. Exactly as advertised, basic, off the beaten track. I had a lovely room right on the sea! Lovely dinner and breakfast each night, vegetarian was no problem. Really warm family, looked after everything. Can do activities organised from the homestay too. 25 min walk (plenty of little hills through a forest!) to a small shop and a lovely beach. Very safe. Perfect if you want a budget option instead of a resort. Would definitely stay again!

Expect the bare basics (no internet and limited electricity). This is what you are paying for. The family is incredibly kind and helpful!

This is a beautiful island and the family was very kind. It is a humble accommodation appropriately priced. We loved the island!

- The food (depends of the family, if the men go fishing or not you don’t have much food). - The shower.

Beach access. I recommend to take breakfast / dinner. Space in the dormitory, it’s like big from with beds but it’s pretty clean.

Bure and bathrooms not really Clean, everything is really Run down and needs renovation,The Younger daughter of the Host should try to be more friendly to the guests, serving Food .. Do Not expect a fijian experience at this homestay.

A great 20 min jungle Walk to wonderful blue Lagoon beach, having an excellent Cappuccino at nanuya Island Resort. We had a Little Bungalow direct at the Beach with bathrooms and shower and great ocean View.

Our hostess and her family were so nice! The meals were very generous in helpings. Breakfast was delicious! Her homemade breads and other goodies were fantastic! The swimming, I could stay forever, if the sun wasn’t so cruel❣️ Be cautious of the dogs; one tried to bite a child’s face, with no provocation on the child’s part. Otherwise, a nice, quiet location to get away. Mattresses are needing replacement for longer stays 😉 (or older bodies)

We had a great time at Sunrise Lagoon with our 4 children during our 4 nights there. Our host were excellent. The food was good and you can do a lot of activities there. We went on a shark seeing tour (snorkeling) and the famous cave in Yasawa. Thanks to Emma and the captain Tiga our guide on those tour. We had the dormitory room which can welcome up to 9 people. Do not except a resort type of confort. The mattress are a bit old with no electricity in the room but the price is unbeatable in the yasawa and it’s really worth it.

We would love to have interacted with the family. Maybe eating together.

The tranquility and escapism was exceptional. No more than 3 other guests and sometimes, it was just us. We had a hut that overlooked/was on the beach. Lice (host/boss) cooked exceptional food and there was amazing variety. She was always very friendly. Peace and quiet. No Wifi and very much ‘off grid’ - we loved it. Solar powered phone charging. Rain water to drink, but bottled water could be purchased. A range of excursions are available at a small additional cost. Cash only homestay. Great reef snorkelling. Ice creams along the beach and a little tea shop that sold great curried crab.

A lovely family run homestay on a great beach. Walkable to Blue lagoon beach. Great Snorkel trip and nice to get to know the family and of course baby Jo. The fresh fish was amazing as was the roast chicken. Thank you Lice and Jo... x

Great location where u can visit the Blue Lagoon beach, get some organic ice cream next door, and get some doughnuts at the Tea House 5 mins away. Would highly recommend staying here.

Note that electricity for charging is only on 6-9pm daily. We managed fine with phone charging and all. But having a fan on some hot and no-wind nights was something I really wish I had while staying 8 days at this lovely place. As mentioned, a major area of improvement is the shared bathrooms and toilets. They are very rundown and not so clean. More than half the time, the toilets couldn’t really flushed. Also, adding mosquitos nets will be great since sleeping with mosquitos coils may not be the healthiest thing long term. The host said that they are doing renovation soon, I hope I get to be back to visit one day and wish all the best for this lovely place :)

Run by a lovely family, this place is right on the beach on the east side of the island. The famous Blue Lagoon beach is on the west side, accessible by 30 mins walk. They have 2 private rooms with bathroom by the sea which are the BEST; 1 family bungalow with bathroom but not as breezy as the seaside rooms; 1 private room with shared bathroom (share with dorm); and 10 dorm beds in one big room. I initially stayed in the dorm which was ok but the very rundown bathroom put me off big time. So, I moved to the seaside private room where I had such a great stay…room right on the beach with good breeze and sunrise view from the bed! If your budget allows, I would really recommend the seaside room. They also organize activities/day trips eg. Cave, snorkeling, fishing, etc. (extra charged) and have kayak/paddle board for free. Fellow travelers that I met there are great.

Beautiful room location overlooking the beach/ocean. Meals were hearty and the fillets of fish served were fresh and meaty.

look it’s quite rustic. the mattresses were not comfortable and the bathrooms very basic. but the experience of being there was amazing anyway. we were unlucky to only have limited other guests around and skipped our last night to join a neighbouring resort for the last night (NYE). cell phone signal was hit and miss but i have had that for 2 weeks in fiji. a bit frustrating when you need to book things (fyi just walk up the hill behind the place and the internet works a bit better)

literally slept meters from the beach. waking up to just hearing waves was amazing. loved all of the food, even if it was relatively simple. the hosts were very friendly and helpful. fly screens in the windows were good. tours to the caves went well and there is a reef to snorkel about 50m away. we all sat around and ate meals together which was great

The food was good. We loved the more traditional foods served.

Stayed in December 2024

Not so much didn’t like so my comments are to help the owners make a little more profit. The bathroom needs to be urgently retitled this really lets it down. Breakfasts need more variety some eggs would be great, porridge is available. Home made yogurts and fruit. Butter and jam, homemade surly. The homemade bread would then be delicious. I’d spend some money on better pillows and the mattresses need replacing. Do this and I believe you could charge 50% more easily, perhaps people would stay longer.

You will receive a great welcome from the family. We are an older couple 60’s but we wanted to stay with a family reminding us of our back packing days some 45yrs ago. The evening meal although basic will fill you up. The fresh fish is delightful.

A lovely time hosted by a caring family in an exceptional place. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to see "the real Fiji", it was a unique experience - I'm very glad I decided for a homestay and not a resort. Also great for solo travellers as you'll have meals etc with other guests. I even extended my stay.

The washroom/toilet might need maintenance

I like that it is just a few steps to the beach No electricity in the rooms but had solar light provided from the host Beware lots of mosquitoes so need more bug spray at hand

Uncomfortable beds and pillows in dorm.

Friendly staff, great location, good meals, great value for money. Plenty of activities to do (free and paid). Cave trip was excellent (120fjd). Enjoyed meeting and talking to other guests at meal times.

If you wanna have an authentic experience on Fiji go here! Don’t just go to resorts! Witness the real village live. It is much more impressive. Thank you to everyone making our stay so pleasant
