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.

That it was real, un-glossy insight into Fiji village life today.

Seru and his family was the most amazing hosts and made our stay everything we wished for! Amazing surroundings, amazing people, nice food - shout out to Emily for the food! I celebrated my birthday with my girlfriend and the family helped making it something special. I will always remember Wai Makare and the lovely family. It is not luxury, but the amazing relaxed island lifestyle and the family that makes this stay special!

A big bedroom with private exit. Heaps of activities, they are the kindest people thy offers a lot of fun activities for free!! The food was delicious and you get bottled water<3 Love love loved this stay!

This was my most enjoyable and relaxing stay of my yasawa trip. So many positives. The place its self is separate from the families quarters so you feel like you have real privacy. The family are all lovely and non intrusive. The kids are the cutest things ever. The bed is of quality hotel standards with a priceless mosquito net. Finally the food was excellent and abundant, every time catering for my pescatarian needs. Was very sad to leave.

We had a great stay with Silo, Bill and their family. The food was amazing and you definitely won’t starve :D There are a lot of of things to do around the village, we did the Mantaray snorkeling unfortunately we didn’t see any but Bill took us snorkeling to some really beautiful spots instead. Also the beach in front of the village is great for snorkeling and you have it all to yourself. They also took us to a birthday in the village which was really nice and we got to experience the Fijian lifestyle. We felt really welcomed in the village everyone was really nice and smiling at us <3
