“Jaydee’s is a true Fijian homestay experience – you’re staying with a local family in their home - the facilities are simple but clean, comfortable, and have everything you need. What makes it truly special is the family, who go above and beyond to make your stay memorable.
The warmth and hospitality of the family was the highlight. Everyone is so kind and welcoming, especially the grandmother, who radiates love and generosity. Staying here feels like being part of the family, and it’s a privilege to share in their home and culture.
Breakfast was tasty, served with warmth and generosity – the perfect start to the day. And we had the yummiest dinner, made with love and care by the grandmother of the house. It was our favourite dinner of our trip!
The location is great for exploring Taveuni. It’s peaceful and feels authentically local, while still being convenient for getting around the island. Just remember, you're at the top of the Island so if you're looking to get around lots, consider hiring a car. We used the local bus service and it was great, but it's not the most regular of service. (enjoy Fiji time!!) Mostly, we had a blast getting around walking which built up an appetite :) Reach out and ask the family when you book if you need help getting around, they're more than happy to help sort out local transportation.
Honestly, the only thing we wish is that we had found Jaydee’s earlier and stayed longer! It was the most wonderful stay and the most amazing memories. We can not recommend it enough!! Sota tale Mila and family – vinaka vaka levu for such a special stay! 🌺💙🌺”
“I loved the friendly welcome I got from Vinna and Robert and helpful advice regarding tours, local busses etc during my stay.
The homestay was spotless, with freshly painted rooms and new tiles in toilet and shower.
My bed was large, with spotless linen, comfy pillows and mattress, and decorated with a welcome floral bouquet - a lovely gesture.
The kitchen was spacious, with many food items such as spices and sauces supplied for my consumption.
Air conditioner was quiet and efficient, and the locality was only a few minutes walk to the beach, supermarket and airport.
A fresh food stall was at the front of the block serving delicious smoothies etc.
Being beside the airport runway wasn't a problem as no night time operations occur at Matei and no jet aircraft land there.”
“The family is amazing, getting to spend time with a local family was one of the highlights of Taveuni. The grandmother was incredibly friendly and helpful. Fijan people are the best”
“I had a perfect time with the most lovable Fiji family homestay. Sia, Charley, Jima and all the boys cared a lot for me and we had an amzing time together! Sia ist the best cook in all of Fiji, better then in restaurant i can tell, love her veggi food, fresh fish, curry and lots of fruits every day..i went horse riding with Charley, with the boys on the boat to honeymoon island for snorcheling, the reef is directly in front the homestay, amazing natural landscape! Pete the driver took me to lavena coastal walk in national park and drives you everywhere on Taveuni 😀i loved the cute dogs and the kids in the village are so fun. My room was nice, i had my own little cozy space and Sia and everyone makes everything perfect, helping me with all questions, embracing me like a daughter (as i'm travelling on my own), i felt welcome like at home. Got emerged in the real Fiji life, I came as guest and left as friend. This family is a jewel and i will never forget this beautiful time with them!”
“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.”
“The host was wonderfully warm and welcoming and made us feel like part of the family. All efforts were made to help us feel comfortable and looked after. We also went on two amazing day trip tours which were amazing. The food was delicious, even catering for vegetarians. The kitchen is basic and functional to make simple meals as well. The homestay was clean and comfortable, including the beds.
Staying here was a highlight of my daughter’s trip having made friends with the families’ children.”
