Location, it was secluded good for families and people who just need time out from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Accomodation was comfortable

Delicious food for 15Fjd/meal, free kayaks for the river (beautiful views from down there), and lots of activities. Pool table, kitchen (15-20fjd per day used), and a great host who knows the best card games.

“It’s a fun place to stay and hopefully will always retain its character”

The location is superb and our host Lai was extremely helpful and accomodating. Our arrival was unexpected as he’d not got any booking through from booking . Com. The river is beautiful and a great place for swimming .

Especially liked kayaking on the river

“Considering we had work the next day, Our stay made it so worthwhile! Man the 2 hosts were amazing and Lai is THE MAN! a”

A quiet luxury!

“Mountain Paradise”

Everything!l was amazing! Access to the river, long walks, the views, quietness. The staff were real gems. Was just a treat.

“What an amazing experience.”

Lai and Neta where amazing hosts. It’s hard to describe this place . There are simple no frills rooms with cold showers , but the river, the food and Lai’s singing more than make up for it. We only stayed two nights but would gladly come back and stay more . The food is well priced and super tasty traditional Fijian . Love the relaxed slow days we had here.

The staff is amazing and the location is a must, food is taste. Love the experience. See you my friend lai

A lovely time had with super friendly staff, and you receive a fijian experience, fijian foods, tubing down river, horse riding, guitar music, and carva drinking all in a natural setting. Bonfire night Was fun! cabins are plain, with cold showers in bures noted at the time when we stayed however slept, felt safe and enjoyed a very local experience.

“It’s a beautiful place! There are many birds, a cute cat, lovely jungle!”

AJ, the host, is wonderful and friendly!

“Short stay but worth it.”

Remoteness and staff.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Outback retreat. Very peaceful and quiet place, AJ explained us everything about this place he started from nothing 2 years ago. Very nice stay at his family, especially the dinner with his whole family. Food was so delicious. And the breakfast also !

Love, love, love. This place is fantastic. From the get-go I felt like arriving home. AJ and his family are super inclusive. We shared a traditional meal straight from the hot stones. We had few drinks, played pool and just had a great time hanging out. The rooms are spacious, comfy and mosquito proof. Bathrooms were clean. The perfect spot to wind down in the Fiji highlands. I'd only recommend arriving during day time, as the road ain't the greatest, but even my small corolla made it without any issues. Just drive slow. I'll be coming back for sure ;)
