    Very spacious and clean room with a private entrance, just steps from the sea, where you can watch the sunrise. The owner is very kind and welcoming, eager to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Breakfasts and dinners are varied, carefully prepared and plentiful. Highly recommended.

    It might be a good idea to have a key/lock for the room to ensure a bit more privacy and to avoid it being accessible to others in the village. Apart from that, everything was absolutely perfect!

    An immersive experience in the authentic Fiji mood! The staff was truly very helpful and kind with us. They showed great openness and friendliness in fully meeting all the needs and requests we had. The place is fantastic, and I recommend trying the delicious organic ice cream! Highly recommended!

    A very warm welcome with fresh coconut drink. Loved the location with beach views and walk along beach. Food was amazing, tasty and plentiful, very friendly host, checked to make sure we were okay. Make sure you try the organic ice creams, delicious. Walked everyday to blue lagoon easy track took 30 mins, lovely beach and snorkeling with tropical fish. Would stay again

    Not much, does what it says on the tin. I didn't like that I didn't stay longer

    Stunning location. Very friendly and accommodating, helped taking me to the caves even as a solo traveller which had proved difficult at other places. Stunning ice creams too. Chill doggos to hang out with

    Nothing!!

    We had the best stay with Vilise , he was by himself to take care of us . He spent all his time to cook for us , and the food was just sooo good , best chef :) Don't hesitate to book , and take the meal plan !! It's totally worth it ! It's only one room , so you'll be VIP Guests :) We had good chats and laughs with him Don't forget to try the ice cream + go to the tea house for best donuts ! The place is simple but comfy +Cute dogs If you feel like walking you can do the walk to the other side of the island , everyone around is so nice. Thanks Vilise !

    Unfortunately, when we did the snorkelling with sharks activity, there where no sharks. But we still saw a nice coral reef, which was worth the trip. It wasn't very expensive either, compared to the prices for activities in other accommodations.

    It was a really nice stay. The accommodation is very clean and I felt very comfortable there, Vilise is really a very good host. The food was excellent, they really tried to offer me great vegetarian dishes. The island is beautiful. You can walk around the island and see the Blue Lagoon. Otherwise, I was also snorkelling and borrowed a canoe from a neighbor's homestay.

    Nothing it was perfect

    Book it!! We cannot recommend Voyager Homestay enough! We had the absolute best time staying with Vilise. We stayed for seven nights, not having the budget to island hop but wanting to experience Fiji - we hit the jackpot! The homestay is only one room and Vilise was the perfect host - attentive but not overbearing! As his only guests he goes above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay! It’s by far the most sustainable place we’ve ever stayed with rainwater showers, solar electricity and locally sourced food. We have left feeling like we’ve got the true Fijian experience, having breakfast with Vilise and listening to his tales of the island. My girlfriend is vegetarian and gluten free and it was not an issue. Vilise cooked us separate meals each night so she could have delicious, coeliac safe food and I could still enjoy his freshly caught fish and delicious chicken dishes. We even got a mix of gluten free goodies for breakfast including pancakes and Fijian doughnuts! (Made with gf flour we had bought to the island, bought at the supermarket in Nadi). The beaches near the homestay are exceptionally beautiful, one of which you can see from your room. Accommodation is basic but amazing for the price, comfortable and spacious, and the bathroom was always meticulously clean. Make sure you pack bug spray so you can enjoy stargazing in peace! Don’t miss trying Vilise’s homemade ice creams either!

    Our stay here was absolutely amazing. The host was by far the best part – incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. From the very first moment, we felt right at home. The location is stunning – peaceful, surrounded by nature, and just a short, beautiful walk from the famous Blue Lagoon, which is perfect for snorkeling. Even right in front of the accommodation there’s a gorgeous coral reef full of colorful marine life – ideal for a quick dip straight from the beach. The place itself was spotless, very well maintained, and had everything we needed. And the food? Honestly, the best we had anywhere in Fiji – fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made with love. If we ever come back – and we really hope we do – we would choose this place again over any resort or hotel, no question. Vinaka vaka levu for everything! 🌺

    We experienced only one moment of uncertainty during our stay. It occurred after the owner offered to take us by boat to a restaurant farther away. While we were dining, he stayed with some friends near the beach. When we wanted to leave, he appeared quite intoxicated. The return trip was rather bumpy and unsettling.

    We experienced a pleasant stay with delicious daily meals and consistently clean rooms. We felt comfortable and could truly relax. The beach, located directly on the shoreline, was simply legendary. We were regularly asked if we were comfortable and if we needed anything! We felt like family ☺️

    Voyager Retreat is a REAL Homestay. Vilise, Fina and Dan did everything possible to make us feel part of the family from the moment they fetched us from the ferry. Accommodation is rustic but spotless. Having meals with the family at the dining table with the sand between your toes is a special memory. We can't wait to go back and take Dan for a hike around Nanuya Lailai to show him the view from the hill.

    A really outstanding experience. Bill was so helpful with everything. He cooked so tasty meals and the organic ice-cream (self-made) is a dream. The view from the bungalow is amazing. A 100% recommendation 👍.

    The place and location is absolutely amazing, directly at the beach with hammocks to hang out. Vilise and his wife are cooking great and are super hosts, friendly and helpful. Everything is basic, but super clean. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Perfect value for money!

    It can get very hot in the room especially when there is no wind. There are dogs running around on the property and the rest of the island, they are quite calm but if you’re afraid of dogs then this is not the best place to be

    Great location, had the room all to myself and my own hammock. Great food and big portions. Bill took me on some trips which was amazing

    It was a truly Fijian Experience!! Dan and his son are amazing hosts. From when you step on the island, they make you feel at home. The food is amazing, they offer some activities such as the cave tour which was great! The place is very nice, of course simple (as it's a home stay), but very very clean and well curated, both room, toilet, dining area and all the outside parts, which Dan and his son keep clean and spot on every day! I had such a great time and experience, cannot recommend enough for the experience, will definitely go back!

    Already suggested to them to take advantage of 24/7 electricity and add a fan. It could be very hot when there was no breeze.

    This new place currently has one room only, so too bad I could only stay one night as it was so booked up. But that was also the plus side, very peaceful. The beach is very very beautiful and this place has plenty of shade allowing you to hangout and enjoy the beauty without suffering in the sun. The room and shared bathroom is very nice and clean. A big plus is the 24/7 electricity that other homestays don’t yet have. The host is a great cook, also making organic fruits ice cream that I had to go back everyday even when I stayed another place :) Thank you

    the space was clean and tidy, including the shared bathroom. The location is amazingly beautiful and the village that surrounds it is very nice and the people are firendly. The water is crystal clear and the atmosphere is so peaceful. The host has been amazing at accomodating all of our needs and catching fish for the meals. He is an amazing cook and will make your stay memorable!
