Has anyone stayed at Ofu Island Backpackers, Vava'u?

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone has stayed at or heard anything of Ofa Island Backpackers in the Vava'u chain? I'm happy with basic accommodation, and am looking for somewhere with great beaches and snorkelling nearby, and near enough to Neiafu to get picked up by dive boats. I stayed at Lucky's earlier this year (with Lynn and Kurt) and loved it, but am thinking of something more island-y for my return visit next year. Any other recommendations also welcome; I can't afford the Blue Lagoon type resorts and don't really want to stay on Neiafu.

Thank you in advance!

The backpackers was before my time, but I have stayed on Ofu Island and it was a lovely island. I also stayed with the family of a Tevita, so perhaps it is the same people? If you can get across to Kenutu Island that is a great spot to spend a day or camp.
