There can be spiders/bugs in your room or toilet, we didn’t mind just an FYI

A great place to relax, good snorkelling and we hiked to the village nearby and everyone was very welcoming. As two vegans we were well feed. You can pay by bank transfer but cash is easier

Meals varied. Some were delicious, though the okra wasnt very popular. Some were larger meals, one had no rice or other carbs so hungry teenagers needed more. Some more fresh fish would be nice. One paddle board needs a repair. And new fins for them would help.

Stayed in the new rooms. Really clean, nice to have own bathrooms, shower gel, towels etc. no air con but it wasnt needed, as good high ceiling and plenty of windows with mosquito mesh over. Lovely beach with great reef not much of a swim to get to ( 50 metres) Lovely to have tea and coffee available when wanted. Staff very friendly.

Nothing but remember it is a homestay not a resort.

It was a homestay but the accomodation was all separate bedrooms (some with shared bathroom) except for the dormitory of 6 beds. They are expanding due to the quick success of the business and it is definitely justified. The reef is easily accessed and is extensive. The day trips, including swimming with mantas, are varied and reasonably priced. I loved staying here and I will be back next year to enjoy the new dining room!!

Breakfast should be cooked only when guests are ready to eat since it is of flexible time. However, the staff prepared it too early so in all my 4 days stay, all breakfast were cold.

Nice room, staff and landlord all very friendly and made me feel very comfortable staying there. Meals were great and room is good size. Flexible breakfast time.

i would have liked a more comfortable room with a toilet and shower but I had no expectations of that in a home stay of this kind

Great location on beautiful private beach. Very friendly and helpful family, Much of the food was locally grown and we has some interesting Fijian dishes mainly gathered from the sea. Coral reef is out from the beach and they will take you to great coral gardens and to see the manta rays. We were there with a 3 and 6 year old and it was Very child friendly and safe. The accommodation is quite basic, with shared toilets and cold shower. We would definately return.

Very friendly and helpful stuff 😃. I really enjoyed staying there. Good and regional food for dinner and nice breakfast was served. For the last night I got an upgrade to the new build bungalow, which was really lovely and so good 👍. I would like to come back anytime. A 100% recommendation. Thank you so much 😊.

The bathrooms and facilities are basic, but for the price it is reasonable.

The staff were amazing. So kind and generous. They were particularly kind with our transfer to another island, when the yasawa flyer did not pick us up, they took us on their boat and made sure we arrived safely. The rooms are good and the beach is beautiful.

Beach, Open eating area, coconut trees where we could eat from, fun people!

We really enjoyed our stay in Wai Makare, the room was spacepus and clean, the food was delicious and the beach was absolutely stunning. There are lots of activities available, and we particularly enjoyed snorkelling over the reef. We basically had a private beach as there are no other homestays on the side of the island. The hosts were really welcoming and kind, and we had access to tea all day long!

Nothing, for me it was everything amazing.

It was amazing. Me and my friends went there for 3 days, we lived some days in paradise. It was a full wild experience. If you want to live some days in the nature you have to go there. The staff was AMAZING so kind. I want to come back

Stayed in February 2025

Just paradise. Will definetly go back there if I can.

I stayed dorm room. Not closed beach. No wind . Little hot at everything.

So friendly staff. I can see lots of fish and coral near the beach. Good meal . Very secluded area. Nice and relaxing.

The location is amazing! It felt like you had a private beach to yourself and there were other beaches you could easily walk too and it was really giving untouched isolated beauty vibes. You could go snorkelling right off the beach and the coral here was beautiful! It was more colourful than I’ve seen in years! Seru and everyone else was absolutely lovely, so kind and welcoming, made you feel like family and they really look after you! Thank you so much! Keep in mind this is a homestay, cash only, electricity in the evenings, there is wifi (but it’s only on briefly and near the main area not your rooms) and mobile signal is patchy, but it didn’t matter and you don’t really need it, helps you live in the moment. Hopefully one day we will return :) thank you!

Mosquito repellant definitely necessary and make sure to take enough cash with you to pay for your stay!

Seru and family were fantastic hosts when we visited in October. They live on a spectacular picture postcard Fijian beach. Delicious meals provided by Layla and co. Was very worth hiking across the island to Gunu village. So many amazing fresh fruits growing locally, which we were lucky enough to try many of! Would highly recommend this place to any travellers heading through the Yasawa.

Dont forget Moskito spray

U have everthing you need, not a resort but a amazing experience with awesome people Good food, stunning beach

Stayed in November 2024

Toilets/ showers are basic and not that well lit (even in the day) but you get used to it after the first day

The location is very peaceful and everyone working there is really friendly. The food is very reasonably priced (and accommodate for veggie) compared to a lot of other places in Fiji and it was all very tasty! Apart from one night of rain we had a fire accompanied by Fijian songs/ music every night. The reef you can swim to from the beach is really cool and one of the more colourful ones you'll find! Accommodation and facilities are very basic, but they do the job. They are in the process of building a lot more, so I’m sure this will be better in the near future! Very cool to experience a more authentic experience compared to some of the resorts!

Lovely family

Loved my stay here. Seru and family were very welcoming and friendly, someone is around if you need anything throughout the day. Snorkelling was nice at high tide, beach is cool to chill at, hammocks and seats! Dorm was quite open but not a problem all other guests were lovely. Meals were yummy! I would come back and stay here again. Vinaka everyone!

The family is super nice, they are very accommodating and the beach is amazing. Just be aware it is basic but so quiet and serene.
