Homestays in Soso

What a wonderful and memorable stay in a traditional Fijian village. We liked it so much that we ended up staying in Soso village for a month. Silo, Bill, Va, Rob, Simi, Luisa and Iki, we will never forget the great time we had with you. You took good care of us, prepared extra food for the children and helped us when they got sick. As for the village. The people are very friendly, with a lot of children, so our kids made friends instantly. The beach in front of the village is beautiful, with a nice healthy reef to snorkel and there are some nice hikes with spectacular views over all of the Tasawas. As there is no light pollution, stargazing is breathtaking and the manta ray passage is just around the corner. The accommodation is very basic with a bucket shower and no-flush-toilet, but the beds are comfortable and the food is great. Note that the water available is rain water, so if you want to go safe, bring your own bottled water (or aqua-tabs) from the mainland because there are no real shops on the island. Also, you should wear a Sulu (Sarong) around the village and in church, men too. And it’s expected that you bring a kava root (worth 20 FJ$) and/or some money to present to the chief of the village when you arrive.

We were so happy to have stayed in this beautiful homestay. One thing that makes it special is that it is in the middle of the village and not like other resorts where you see a lot of other tourist which was so unique! Also, it is not just food and accomodation, but getting to live with the locals and understand how they live and sometimes we even cooked together. After a week it was so sad to leave our new friends: The family, Silo, Bill Va the children and all the others that made us feel so welcome. The activities are amazing the beach is close to the homestay and very beautiful!!! We are really lucky and learned a lot from them, and this was for sure our favourite place to stay in Fiji.

It was amazing. Me and my friends went there for 3 days, we lived some days in paradise. It was a full wild experience. If you want to live some days in the nature you have to go there. The staff was AMAZING so kind. I want to come back

I think this is just one of the best places I ve been. Hospitality, location and new clean rooms. Thanks for this great memory

Our stay at this guesthouse in Matacawalevu Island was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine hospitality that made us feel like part of the family. The food was absolutely amazing, every meal was delicious and traditional. Our room was so huge and beautifully maintained, it felt like the perfect holiday we were dreaming about. The guesthouse is perfectly located close to the beach, where we enjoyed kayaking around. One of the best things of our stay was visiting the nearby Sawa-i-Lau caves, an easy trip from the guesthouse, and taking part in local life through a village and church visit (the experience felt really authentic). This wasn’t just a stay, it was a real Fijian experience. We're so grateful to the wonderful family who hosted us and made everything so special. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a true experience away from everything.
