Beautiful setting. Cleaning need to be done .

Nice spot

The accommodation was ok but the food could be improved. In Fiji I do not like to eat rice every day. That is not traditional fijian food. They have kumala, cassave, dalo, breatfruit which is much better and healthier. I also prefer to eat my chicken meat without bones.

food not good

Nice property! Shower and electricity doesn’t work… Staff really sweet !

Not at all as described or as photos!We didn't expect anything & knew this isn't a resort etc. however description & photos on Expedia are simply untrue.Currently cabins, main area, 'bar' looked nothing like this. The photos of the food? 4 days. Instant coffee, 3 pieces of toast pp, communal butter, strawberry jam each day (8-9am). You eat what you are given on your plate. Lunch & dinner was $20 per person per meal and was the same EACH time. A plate with: rice, a pile of boiled cabbage & carrots (often from the day or night before) a boiled root vegetable & either processed sausage or egg omelette. Once fish. Once a Lovo (earth oven) which was the above plus chicken. As per the description, there is no: grocery store, laundry, restaurant, drinks, in-room Wifi or wifi of any kind, no TV, bottle water, toiletries, fan, hair dryer. Did have cockroaches. You may or may not have a working shower, toilet or any kayaks. We are not fussy & even with all that would have been happy but be aware that there is no 'on the beach' snorkling here or friendly, caring staff, so there is nothing to do other than paid trips (2 choices), weather dependent. It's cheap, but the ferry to get there takes 5 hrs & is easily twice as expensive as a 5 day stay in the 'best' hut. What we ended up spending on transport, trips & food could have easily bought us a much nicer place with snorkling out front anywhere else. Why is the description and photos here so misleading? What a shame.

A few bungalows in a cute garden makes a good first impression. But it seems the bungalows haven't been touched for 20 years. Beds were confortable, bathroom is probably the worst I have seen in 20 years of backpacker travel! There is electricity at night for lighting in the room but none of the travellers could manage to charge their phone in the room. Staff seems to only care for your money and their paid activities. None of the free activities on the board were avalable. Do not expect the traditional fijian warm welcome. Do not be fooled by pictures of musician and dancing on their facebook page. There is none of that anymore. The food served at breakfast and dinner was fine but lunch was not worth the money.  Untill the owners decide to turn things around, the is no reason to go to safe landing. Although it's cheap, it is not worth the money. Snorkelling is decent but quite a good swin from the beach. I highy recomend spending a bit more and go the the dorms at Oarsman or Blue Lagoon Resort on the western side of the island were snorkelling, staff, amenities and service are top!

Very nice stay. Very nice staff. They have a boat and arrange trips to snorkeling spots.

The little tender boat that came to collect us broke down about 5 minutes after getting us so we were left stranded in the very hot, humid conditions. He fixed it and we got going again for about another 2 minutes then ran out of fuel. He took out his phone, then put it away and asked if any of us had mobile. We didn't bother with sim cards as we were using this holiday to unplug, but fortunately the other passengers had data so were able to contact the lodge using whatsapp and let them know we were stranded. They then sent another boat to tow us, but it took about 30 minutes. When we arrived, they claimed not to have our booking. Fortunately I had the confirmation printed off and they had plenty of room to accommodate us. Another couple staying said the same thing happened to them. I think only the Air BnB bookings go through. It was almost 2pm and we were starving. They offered us lunch and then said the chef had gone home but we could go to the tea house at 3:30pm to get some cake. There's nothing else available. We were also told the afternoon activities get organised the day before so we missed those. As the following day was Sunday their church day, there would be no activities then either. They had such a good write up including nightly entertainment and lots of daily activities available. I don't know if it was bad timing, but we got almost none of this. Location was incredibly quiet, secluded & beautiful though. Bure was basic; a hose for a shower and flushing toilet

Dissapointing food, the staff seemed very unmotivated. We tried multiple times to do a activity but the staff repeatedly forgot and rescheduled untill we gave up.

Really basic accommodation but it is absolute beachfront and all bed linen is freshly washed.  It's such a different experience here from the resorts so as long as you're not expecting 5 stars, you will hopefully love it as much as we did.  The staff are so happy, funny and friendly.  Their village and the locals there are lovely.  You can have long, lazy days around your cabin or organise adventures nearby such as the caves.  It's great to share meal times with the other guests and to chat about everyone's experiences.  The boys love to party and are so much fun!!!  We loved it!!!!

Loved the family  and staff gorgeous location. Bathrooms need a bit of attention but its very cheap so cant really expect it all.
