We really enjoyed our stay at the homestay and felt really well looked after by the whole family. We particularly enjoyed the plentiful dinner served under the stars on the beach. It was a magical evening and the food was delicious. My parents were happy to have the opportunity to try home cooked Fijian food and spend some time in a Fijian village. It was also a great experience for me, having spent 3 months living in a city in Fiji, to get a taste of village life. I found Tupou to be a very warm and lovely hostess.

Best wishes,

I wanted to stay in a village and chose Dannys Homestay. I was met at the resort and driven down to the Coral Coast to DANNYS where I spent two days.

Dannys right on the water and I’d recommend this village for families - Saki and Toupu were excellent hosts and just couldn’t do enough for me.

I accompanied them out fishing, snorkeling and gathering coconut seedlings for transplanting. Coconut palms take near on 20 odd years to mature. I will be close to 80 before someone climbs the palms I planted.

I could not help notice that boats from the local resort were bringing their guests to snorkel in the water just off the beach outside my cabin – where I relaxed with a cold beer ( Alcohol is OK )

Henry, from the village, my snorkeling guide said this was because the waters in front of Danny’s has been a marine reserve for past 6 or so years and this is the best snorkeling on the coral coast…I could not agree more as there were huge schools of fish…the giant clams are an awesome site, right off the beach in front of Danny’s.

The home stay is excellent, cabins that have beds, and eating is in the main Dining kitchen area set up with tables and chairs. Again meals were traditional Fijian food with plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and fish.

There was a choice for Breakfast from a cooked breakfast eg: eggs in the style you prefer, scrambled, poached or fried through to casual. I was happy with toast and tea.

Water is boiled on an open fire for the separate private shower cubicles.

I would recommend to anyone contemplating a holiday in Fiji to consider spending a few days in a village – To Experience the real Fiji. The stay directly goes to support the village community and positively improves their lives.

Thanks to Parrish you did a good job putting my trip together, thanks for making my Fiji experience one I will never forget.  Pass my thanks onto Sake and Tupou at Danny's.

My partner and I had the pleasure of having Simon take us snorkelling just off Beqa Island a couple of weeks ago. He showed us a great time and I thought it would be nice to send some business his way. David Smith, New Zealand.

Please pass on my thanks to Sake and Tupou for a wonderful two days with them. Please pass on the photos I took of our stay as I said I would send them. I stayed with my two boys aged 12 and 10 at the Naviti Resort on the Coral Coast and had a wonderful time. It was excellent. Lots of kids to play with my advice just go straight to the pool and encourage the kids to join in playing with a group of kids and you will be lying back on a sun lounge having a drink and they will be leaving you alone.  As you know during the day we went to Danny's for the Village Day Tour and it was the best day, a real highlight of our time away. It was so good we went back the next day and did the Waterfall Tour with Sake and Tupou. Sake and Tupou are so friendly and hospitable nothing is too much trouble. We got to see a local school which was very interesting compared to Australian schools and Sake put down a lovo for our lunch. We saw the whole process from start to finish but the best part was the eating of it, just wonderful. Snorkeling in the bay right in front of the village was also great, Tupou and Davis made sure we saw the best spots. The Waterfall Tour was great and I was amazed how many people Sake and Tupou knew. I guess going with the locals make all the difference. Once again please pass on out thanks and we will be back as my boys want to try the homestay on Beqa Island next year. Cheers.  S.
