Family hotels and homes in Matayalevu

What a special experience we had at Ravita Cove! Words can’t express how grateful we feel to have stayed in such a beautiful place. Cookie and his staff are the kindest and warmest people ever and went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. Although our stay was quite short, we made unforgettable memories there, we enjoyed the private beach and went snorkelling and spearfishing. The place is quiet, comfortable and the meals are extremely delicious. We would definitely recommend this homestay and hope to visit again in the near future.

As advertised, clean , simple and clearly well maintained. Delicious and lots of food. Authentic , local experience. Excellent beach and snorkelling. Charming and engaging host who made the stay memorable. 24/7 electricity.

The cleanliness is amazing. The property is new and the craftsmanship was excellent in the buildings and furniture. The outdoor showers at the back of each bure were amazing and the mattress was really good quality. The vibe was chill and I felt like I could properly switch off and relax. The view was stunning, the coral was great for swimming. Even got to gather some sea grapes with the locals.

The staff were absolutely amazing from first arriving, loved all the activities and they were so friendly and accommodating! Our accommodation was great and the whole area is very well kept and maintained by all of the staff.

This was our first stop on our Yasawa trip and we were blown away, just absolutely magnificent paradisiac place, three beaches, I especially liked that there was one sunrise and one sunset beach to take full advantage of the sun, staff super friendly and accommodated our vegetarian needs, so much fun to be there, nice atmosphere during dinner, very laid back, nice activities with kayak, wonderful waters to swim, just sand and beach and coconut trees, it is an island and there is nothing else, pure nature, we had a blast, want to go back some day

Wow, just wow! Spent our first few nights in Fiji here and it was amazing. The people and the location were just amazing! Enough said.

Excellent accommodation environment and abundant and delicious food. The staff are enthusiastic, polite, and helpful. The hotel has a unique geographical location with clear and beautiful seawater, and everything is perfect

Staying at Tai Evi Homestay in Soso Village was an unforgettable experience filled with warmth and community. The village, with around 600 people and 90 children attending the local school, welcomed us with open arms. Everywhere we walked, we would hear "Bula" being called out to us from peoples homes and yards. On the evening of our arrival, we met with the chief and brought offerings to get his blessing for our stay. Silo, Bill, Va, Rovini, Ike, Peter, and Loochi—made us feel like family. We enjoyed safe snorkeling in the vibrant coral reefs just off the beach, and the boat ride to the village while short, was filled with stunning views. The money spent for our two-night stay, felt like a small price for the rich cultural experience and genuine connections we made. The food prepared by Va was delicious, the bathroom, shower, and accommodations were clean, and we even had a power bar to recharge our devices during the day. We brought water with us, but were pleased to find out they had filtered water for us too if needed. If you're looking for adventure and a genuine experience, you have found your homestay! We wished we could stay longer, and hope to be back again! Current cost breakdown: 1. Accommodation: $96 FJD for 2 nights (booked via Booking.com). 2. Chief Offering: $25 FJD for kava (if needed to purchase in the village otherwise buy in Nadi) + $10 FJD per person for the ceremony, which goes to helping the village. 3.
