We loved it. Thank you staff of Safe Landing Eco Lodge!

We actually got transferred to Safe Landing eco lodge and it was absolutely brilliant. We met some great people and the food was authentic and beautiful. Big thanks to Joe for the village tour and making the most delicious coconut breakfast for us! Also to Sulu for taking us to the blue lagoon - we loved the snorkeling and the boat ride over ! Bula

Fiji- Experience it

Felt so welcomed. Meals were amazing. Beautiful views. Family included us in Fiji Day celebrations and accommodated every need. Many free activities including kyaking and boat trip to Blue lagoon. Jerry, Rosa and family made this a very special stay. Would highly recommend to those wanting to avoid resorts.Vinaka

Warm and friendly atmosphere in a peaceful lovely setting

Very quiet and much nicer vibe than a busy resort. We had a two year old and he had lots of fun playing with the local family’s children. They were very welcoming. The food was excellent. We got addicted to digging for clams in the sand.

We absolutely loved staying at Bay of Plenty. The location of the homestay was beautiful and peaceful. The room was basic but all you need with a comfy bed. We loved meeting Evelyn and her family, they were very welcoming and helpful. We also loved meeting the other visitors who stayed with us, and the setting of the homestay created for a nice, intimate vibe. They offered a good amount of activities, we loved the cave trip. One of the best parts about it was Evelyn's yummy cooking. The best food on our trip by far - she is a proper chef!!! Would definitely recommend Bay of Plenty.

Awesome stay, friendly host

Had a great stay. Family was lovely and the kids were awesome and very entertaining. Accomodation was basic but functional and not as bad as other reviews made it out to be. I wanted to go spear fishing and Evelyn managed to organise a local spear fishing guide to take us on a trip to the protected side of the island while others from our group snorkelled. He supplied a speargun and some gear and helped in the water which was awesome, highlight of my trip for sure. Meals are shared with other guests which was nice. We went for a walk to check out the school, would recommend going during break times as the kids are running around and were eager to talk.

Awesome Fijian experience must be the first choice

Rosa and Jerry’s homestay is really wonderful. You can experience all the Fijian culture here. All of the guys here are very friendly and welcoming. And the food here is amazing so yummy and fresh, it’s better than any restaurant, Evelyn I miss your food so much! This is the place that when you back to your country you will miss every day. The most closest beach(Blue Lagoon) is so beautiful, you could chill for the whole day there. Vinaka all the people we meet there, we miss you guys so deeply. Definitely will come back next time!

True Fiji islander experience, but know what to expect.

Incredible view, welcoming people, good food, real life like an islander, we felt like a part of the family! They made Lovoo for us! No mandatory food plan and affordable food prices, which was great.

I had a wonderful time at this Accomodation. The place is calm and beautiful. The family kind and lovely and I felt a bit like home. Every day we received three delicious meals, with ingredients freshly harvested from the garden or caught from the ocean. Even though it’s a small island, there were many free and charged activities available. I’ve booked many snorkeling tours with the owner who showed me beautiful spots. I will never forget my time at this place!

Authentic stay, lovely experience

I really liked the authenticy of the property and accommodation. After being in resort for fews days, it was really interesting to live a local life experience. The view from the bungalow is beautiful, you can do kayaking around the island. (take in consideration the tide, which can be really low) It was a real pleasure to share moment with this family, specially with the kids. We had the possibility to visit the school and a part of the village. The trip to Blue Lagoon was good, we were alone on the island, the water is clear, and possibility to do snorkelling. Just take in consideration the tide before to been there again. The food was really really nice, one of the best memories we will have. It was the best opportunity to try local food. You can’t find this kind of food in the resort. The other guests were really nice, it was a pleasure to share moment with different people all around the world.

Little Gem of The Yasawas

Perfect hidden location, removed from the bustling resorts but not so isolated that you feel alone! Incredible view from the houses, the most warm and welcoming family too. Every meal was homemade, fresh and absolutely delicious. The best meals on our entire holiday were all from here!! We felt so safe and at home - there is a myriad of wonderful activities you can choose to do (some are paid, but there are just as many that are free!), but you are under absolutely no pressure to. I highly recommend to any experienced travellers or those looking for a balance of cultural immersion, relaxation and fun!

I really liked how welcoming they were to us, especially to my pet dog. Although this was a homestay, the property we stayed in was private and quiet. Still, the family was very engaging and always made sure we were having a good time. I cannot recommend this place more!

Unexpectedly, a homestay

My little bungalow, set on a breezy hillside, looked adorable from the outside, and was surrounded by nature and flowers. It's a very quiet location beneath attractive rocky hillsides and above mangroves and tidal flats. The food is very good, especially Evelyn's dhal and vegetable curry 'samosas'. There are kayaks for rent, and one free trip to the Blue Lagoon included, which is a nice touch considering there isn't really any snorkelling in the immediate area. Unfortunately the masks, snorkels etc. are mostly non-functional, so bring your own. The tide goes out very far, especially during big tides (full moon) and it's not possible to swim or kayak, so arrange your activities with this in mind. There's a moderate climb on a mud path over tree roots to get to/from the rooms. It's beautiful, full of frogs and birds, and not a problem for me (it means it's lovely and quiet up there) but if you aren't fit, you might struggle with it.

Nice view in basic huts

The family is very kind and try their best that you feel welcome and well. The cooking was good and also the bed&matress. The huts are a bit of a walk up a small hill, with a nice view. We were able to use the Hobie Cat (paid Activity) which was fun. We walked to the school&village which was intresting.

Overall a great introduction to Fijian culture and island life but you need to be a bit adventurous

We stayed with Rosa and Jerry for five nights. The place had four bungalows set above a narrow cove with mangroves. Really fun place for kids and family to stay. There are water activities for the kids, plus Rosa's grandkids are very friendly and took our daughter under their wing. Jerry is a repository of wisdom and cultural knowledge. Rosa was a very practical and effective host and her daughter Evelyn the same. Food was fantastic, a real highlight and our 2 year old loved all the food.
