looking for a secret place to stay.Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji | ||
we are a couple who are looking for a place to stay for around 1 week in fiji in the end of october start of nov,( we will be spending a week on koro island so preferably staying on the main island of suva or vanua levu would be the ideal place ) we are looking for a secret hideaway that is cheap as possible with access to nice things or place like beaches/ waterfalls/ villages/ culture/diving snorkelling and history we are not interested in partying, being part of the tourist crowd, air con, room service or the other flash packing splurges. all suggestions taken aboard. | ||
I'd recommend Bobo's farm, on Ovalau, which is a short trip from Suva. It's great value, and Bobo is a wealth of knowledge on Fijian culture, history and the environment. They have their own website now - http://www.bobosfarm.com | 1 | |
That's a great website! | 2 | |
"if i told you it wouldn't be my secret place" Besides, there's nothing secretive about Bobo's .. | 3 | |
Leleuvia Island! (www.leleuvia.com)... Accommodation is basic (shared toilet facilities, no TV, no aircon etc), but island is beautiful!! And staff are amazing!! White sand, crystal blue water, great snorkelling & diving, they do tours to Levuka, a nearby village & another nearby island... Only FJ$160 p/n for bure (cheaper for dorm), FJ$45 meal packages (good food!), cheap drinks & free non motorised water sports (snorkelling, stand up paddle board, kayaks), diving, charter fishing & jet ski hire is also cheap... Being off the tourist track there are very few tourists... you will find a fair few Suva expats on weekends though... Leleuvia is about 30min boat ride from Bau Landing, which is about 15mins from Nasouri Airport (or about 45mins from Suva).... Awesome place!! | 4 | |
