If you want to live a real Fijian experience, this place is perfect for you.
We stayed in a nice beach house near the sea, it's a peaceful place.
Meals are provided by different villagers, it's very interesting talk with them about their culture. 
Near the village there are some beautiful rocks to visit and incredible caves, you must not mis these!

Fijian experience 

It was great!All the people on the village were realy friendly.Our kids played all around the village.We visited there school,went to chatch crebs, went fishing...it was realy a unique experince,especialy for kids. Food was delicouse and plantifull.

Vinaka Novotua village!!!

We have just left Navi & Emi's homestay, but we know it will leave a lasting impression for us. It was really special.

Navi & Emi make it clear from the get go that you are family, and it really does feel that way. We went to the village, met locals, attended a church service, watched the sun set, ate plenty of cake and drank lots of tea. 

Emi's food was delicious, as was Terri's who cooked for us on our last night and day. 

The beach is a short walk from the homestay with crystal clear waters. It was essentially a private beach most of the time. 

We cannot thank Navi & Emi enough for their hospitality and for giving us such a  memorable experience. Thank you both. 

Navi & Emi are amazing hosts. A must. 

Unforgettable! Filled with beautiful memories. I spent three nights at Navis Homestay which was just perfect. I had a very relaxing stay here. The accommodation was clean, the atmosphere was very peaceful and Navi's warm welcome made me feel like home. Emi was a good cook. The food was so delicious. I had a nice trip with Navi and we explored beautiful snorkeling spots. The time in the homestay made my trip unforgettable. I highly recommend this homestay. I will remember the experience forever. VINAKA!

Navi Homestay

Navi and Emi were great hosts. Their home is in a lovely location and we will miss Nacula island! 
All the locals are super friendly and Emis cooking is so yummy. It’s just a short walk from the nicest beach and very peaceful area of the island. The caves are a must do trip too.

Great homestay on Nacula island

We stayed for two nights and it was amazing. We got to know the small and friendly family. It’s a pretty new homestay, so there is some small things to improve, but they looking forward to do the best they can do for the guests to have a nice experience. You can visit a cave go snorkelling and hiking. I‘m thankful for time here.

Really nice homestay

We went with my friend for two nights. Navi’s homestay is perfect, very clean, peaceful, warm welcome, delicious meals cooked by Emi, we did some amazing spots of snorkeling 🤿 with Navi’s and also caves. 
We will highly recommend this homestay.

Navi’s homestay

Unforgettable experience. Warm welcome. Basic accomodations. Meals are taken in a new family at each meal, an opportunity to meet the people of this wonderful island. Misi is an amazing guide, he accompanied us all week in the hikes, the cave tour, snorkeling, fishing, etc. I was there with the girl and her two children aged 7 and 11. The children loved the experience, they didn't want to leave, they couldn't imagine a holiday without screens!

Unforgettable experience

We stayed at Navi's homestay for 2 nights and would highly recommend it. Navi and Emi are very kind and welcoming hosts who are open to showing you Fijian life, culture and customs. Emi prepared three meals a day for us with fruit and vegetables grown in their garden. Navi took us to the village where we met the chief, visited the preschool and attended a church service. We found all the villagers to be very hospitable and friendly. It was an unforgettable experience.

Navi's place is situated just outside the village right on the beachfront, where you can watch the sunset or go swimming. There is a tea and cake shop next door where we met several others doing homestays in the area. The area is very peaceful and quiet at times but can be sociable too if you make the effort to meet people.

The accommodation was very clean and tidy. There is a small bedroom with a mosquito net and a main room with another single bed. The bathroom is an outhouse next to the bungalow with a toilet and a shower. The facilities are basic but clean.

Highly recommend if you are looking for a down-to-earth way to get to know real Fijian life and culture.

Unforgettable experience 

From conversations with other travellers I believe a lot of your experience will depend on how many other tourists are in the village and how much you engage with the people. Set your expectations right and it will be an enriching experience. Along the way you help a village to some needed cash.

Navotua, the village I staid in, currently has 3 bures for a max of 11 guests. For the most of the 5 days we were only 4 guests. We had meals with different families in their homes; often children picked us up to guide us to the respective bure. People were shy but warm and patiently answered all our questions, which became bolder with time. Their genuine willingness to show us their way of life, including matt weaving, coconut handling, a cava ceremony, and Sunday church ( expect a short prayer before each meal) left us humbled and appreciative. For 2 days there were an extra 4 guests and we had meals in a dedicated bure. Conversations now circled around our own lives. 

There is no food poverty but variety is limited to cassava, pumpkin, cassava leaves, rarely eggplant, occasional yam, rice, instant noodles, daal, papaya, fish and crabs. Also lots of pastry from white flour, and papaya. Cucumbers and pineapple featured only once as they come from the mainland. We visited the garden where mostly cassavas are planted, watched a young man leaving with his dogs and a spear only to see him later putting a wild pig on the grill. 

The bures are very simple - if you think of it as camping they are luxurious, they even have mosquito nets (and towels). Outdoor toilets and showers are in separate huts either next door or within 50m. During your stay you look after your bure/toilet yourself. You get drinking water from one of the many rainwater tanks. For this purpose, we brought a 2l bladder with us because we did not want to contribute to the rubbish piles of non-compostable items that you will see a few meters away from the village. (Remember: high-income countries are just better at getting their rubbish out of sight - we produce even more.)

Hiking in the hinterland is a challenge due to overgrowth, that we declined. Instead, there are a couple of hundred meters on either side on the beach, more if you walk at low tide. Other guests took to wind foiling (they specifically chose Navotua for it's favourable wind condition) and were satisfied with the wind. Snorkelling was decent.

Please feel free to DM me if you have any further questions.
