j3nster77 02:40 UTC 21 Jul 2007 | My husband and I will be in Fiji for a month in November and were thinking of arranging a homestay for perhaps a week or two. Does anyone know of any good companies that can arrange this? I have been looking at the Fijibure website: http://www.fijibure.com/ Has anyone used them before? Any recommendations welcome. |
copperspoon 09:48 UTC 21 Jul 2007 | The only 'issues' I have heard of with Fiji Bure are as follows. 1-the Fijians you'll be staying with are the 'better off' people in the villages yet still quite poor by westerns standards-it's in no way a luxury experience. 2-FijiBure.com was spamming this forum heavily in the past and was banned a number of times-hopefully they/their shills have learned their lesson are sticking to business. fijianfamilies.com is what I have bookmarked but the site is just a list of hotels now with some info @ the bottom of the page. | 1
jirikoo 11:20 UTC 23 Jul 2007 | i stayed through www.fijianfamilies.com - its not only "a list of hotels", they provide the classic homestay as well but i was told they would cancel their activity due to a lack of interest from participants - tourists. Their agency is american based and run on voluntary basis... | 2
