A very special place in Fiji, where you can enjoy an unusual,
amazing and unique opportunity unspoiled by the tourist dollar
to participate in true Fijian hospitality.
An Island run by Fijians, in the simplest manner, no frills
here, just the simple joy of living that Fiji is famous for.
Only one hour by local bus from Raintree Lodge, Colo-I-Suva,
Suva
The Island is very small, and is orientated to-wards the
Budget Traveler, it is run by a local family under the auspicious
of the Methodist Church.
The history of the ownership by the Church is quite a story
in its self - ask the locals to explain it to you - it will
provide you with an insight into the back ground of our culture
that is seldom understood by the guide books n Fiji.

‘a small and immaculately kept place’
‘Those seeking a secluded spot who don’t mind
roughing it a little will love it here. The facilities are
basic but the small bures on the waters edge are lovely, the
food is superb and the staff extremely friendly’
‘Dorm accommodation is in weatherboard buildings. There
is no alcohol for sale on the island but you can bring your
own.’
A fridge is provided.
ACTIVITIES
Snorkling off the white and fringed beaches is wonderful.
Walk out to ‘Snake Island ‘ at low tide and explore
the creatures of the sea.
Want to just ‘Chill Out’ - this is a very ‘chill
out island’ you can finish that novel, do a little beachcombing,
yarn with fellow travelers or learn from the friendly staff
about our culture and history.
