It was such an awesome experience for our family. We were welcomed immediately into the village and we throughly enjoyed village life. Our boys played with the local children and everyone was super friendly. The snorkelling around the island was incredible and the snorkelling with the sharks experience and drift snorkelling in the Manta passage was amazing. Paula's cooking was next level and she ensured we were never hungry, there was plenty of fresh local food prepared for us. Bill shared lots of local information and knowledge around the islands. He communication was great and very helpful. We would have very happily stayed longer than 4 nights that we had.

The accommodation was 5 steps to the ocean, with the most incredible views and sunsets! We travelled with our 6 and 3 year olds and they thoroughly enjoyed their stay too, particularly meeting all the local children!The food was AMAZING! We are vegetarian so did worry, but they accommodated so well for us and we were always very full.My eldest turned 6 during our stay and we were lucky enough to be invited into the village where Paula, bill and all the local villagers celebrated his birthday with a cake and traditional kava ceremony. It was just beautiful.We were also invited to the church with them, which was a lovely experience.I am seriously considering coming back within the next few months!! ##### Ella H.

All of them played a part to contribute to a meaningful and authentic time in their island village. The snorkelling straight out from the accommodation was amazing and the day trips that Bill and Ebo took us on were unforgettable. We felt safe on their boat, and had full bellies every mealtime from Polla and Nani’s exceptional cooking skills. We were treated to Fijian fruits and vegetables and lots of freshly caught fish- some of which we caught ourselves!A truely unforgettable off grid and unplugged experience.Vinaka vaka levu ##### Victoria F.

If you want to experience remote versus resort, this is where you go! I felt lucky being there and learning about village life and Bill and Paula's family, which touched my heart. It was extremely special in so many ways. Hearing the nightly village bell and drums calling villagers to church, eating fresh food prepared by Paula from the garden and trees, sunset hand line fishing with Bill, snorkeling with the sharks, walking down the beach to sand bar at low tide, and walking through the village. I dont know if will be ever be on that side of the world again, but if i ever was in the area again, I honestly would stop by and say hello. I miss Bill and Paula!

Bill and Paula’s family is one of the kindest, happiest families we have ever met. The food is OUTSTANDING and Paula made sure I didn’t have any issues with my food allergies. The accommodations are rustic, but clean and comfortable. The only issue I had was at night the fan stops working, because it is on solar. If you brought a small, portable fan on batteries you would be fine. My partner is a camper and he was fine with the accommodations. I am a nice hotel kinda gal and was still comfortable overall. The shower works and the toilet is nice. The beds are ok. Bring bug spray. Be aware, it is an island with no WiFi except at the house above where you dine. I brought a book and was happy. We also went to church with Bill and Paula. It was a wonderful experience. They shared their clothes with us so we could dress appropriately. The reef just off the beach is okay. The snorkeling further out is so beautiful. The waters were clear 35-40 feet down. Lots of hard, ancient corals that have not been bleached yet. It was a treat. We came to see waters and life like it used to be in the Cayman Islands 40 years ago. We were not disappointed. Paula caught a fish on our way back to the main island and gave it to us. The chef made a meal everyone could share, staff and guests alike. It was such a beautiful way to end that part of our vacation. Ask Bill about the package that includes transportation and snorkeling! ![Fishing on the way back! ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/20328f4c-1229-4793-b960-9257271651e7-1759815635774.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Island and corals](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/31021fc6-feeb-483d-9375-2b763bab93a2-1759815638181.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Your view while dining!!!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22181192-42d1-41a8-9922-f79e2620b6ee-1759815638040.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rachelle Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### melissa s.

Bill was great at communicating before we arrived and we arranged transfer with him to and from our stay. Pollas food was delicious, portions were very generous and such a big variety of meals! The island is so beautiful and staying with Bill and Polla is a great way to experience the real Fiji. The snorkling with sharks experience was incredible. Their son was home for the long weekend and took us out for the sunset fishinng trip and along to the sand bar. Make sure to read Bills description as this is a real Fiji experience and not for everyone but we would recommend to anyone that wants to see more than the resorts. Thank you Bill and Polla for being so welcoming and kind and opening your home up to us. ##### Billie M. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hudson L.

Paula was a wonderful cook and we enjoyed all of her homemade meals. The family and the community of the village were so welcoming, and we loved getting involved in the local culture. The snorkeling off of the island was wonderful, we went out almost 2 or 3 times everyday. We had the pleasure of tagging along to their invitation to the opening ceremony of the kuata island resort, where we witnessed the traditional kava ceremony and proceeding of their clan rituals. We also had a wonderful time doing the snorkeling with sharks excursion, which is a bucket list item! Keep in mind this is a homestay, which is perfect for an outdoor and a nature enthusiast crowd that wishes to immerse themselves in local culture and wildlife. We already miss their hospitality and the island, and hope to bring our friends/family back someday to this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you!!!! ##### Hudson L.

The house is basic but that is a life experience with local village people which is what i like. It is not a holiday resort. Bill also welcomed me to their family lunch gathering on Sunday. The location is nice and relaxed but i like walked to the sandbar for swimming where is about 15 to 20mins walk. ##### Mavis Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris j.

Got to live the native island life for 3 days. Eat their food, live in their accommodations, meet the village people and visit some amazing islands. Hospitality was top notch. ##### Chris j.

My two teens and I enjoyed the privilege of being welcomed into two Fijian villages, eating Paula’s nutritious food, boating to an uninhabited island and great snorkeling beyond the second village. A truly special experience that ended with them taking us back to the mainland by long boat. ##### Wendy J.

Initial culture shock was quickly overcome and from airport transfers, full board and activities Bill will arrange it all. We felt at home, safe and part of the community. We promised the local children to visit again and we will. Vinaka to Bill and the entire village. ##### Luke Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### NixonPictures May 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Wayasewa! The perfect 'real Fiji' experience off the grid. Not for everyone as there's no airconditioning, running hot water or pools but that's the charm and attraction here. Bill and Paula looked after us wonderfully. Our two small boys were played with and looked after by other local children, the villages were very friendly. Paula also arranged a surprise birthday cake for my oldest son! No other tourists spotted, no-one trying to sell you things or get you to drink kava and no shops. Perfect spot.

Sep 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing experience We had a wonderful time! Our host Polla was so caring and helpful and made us feel a part of village life. Her cooking was fantastic! The bungalow by the beach was basic but had everything we needed and was an excellent location. We really got to experience true Fiji. Visiting the school and joining in the rugby were great, and attending church and the amazing singing was a highlight. We also enjoyed snorkelling, a sunset hike and many relaxing hours by the beach. Polla was incredibly busy but still made us feel so welcome. We would highly recommend this home stay! ##### Andrew B.
