The water is lukewarm all year round. Again, this is common to all houses on the islands. we can also cater up to 4 people or a family of 6!!

We have 2 hammocks you can lay in all day if you’d like to. Or you can relax on our little blue deck and enjoy views over the bay. During your stay interact with family and villagers. don't be afraid to shout bula to anyone who is in the village Other things to note Staying on the village is a little bit different because we have rules and regulations that all villagers and guests must follow. Sevusevu: Almost all villages in Fiji require you to provide a gift to request entry into the village. This is called a Sevusevu, and traditionally was a gift of kava root or if you couldn't buy the uprooted kava, you can give $25 to the chief for the village fund in helping small projects in the village. So for dress codes: Female guest, we advise you to bring a sarong with you or a long dress below knee level as you will be wearing this once you enter into the village... As for males, they are not allowed to walk around shirtless. We advise our guest to wear something appropriate to cover their body as exposing of body parts is prohibited...
