Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Matacawalevu

Was such a wholesome experience meeting this family. Their way of life and being apart of it. Very real. They live off the land and sea predominantly. Went fishing and got to eat the fish we caught. The beach is right at your doorstep with crystal clear waters! So relaxing! This is their village, their island. So appreciative of them having us. There's only one little supermarket on the other side of the island. About 20mins. Such a beautiful walk over there. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent. Theres not too many mozzys but just in case. My partner and I are so glad we didnt go to a fancy resort. If you're not open-minded and adventurous, maybe go somewhere else. Thank you Lice and Jo for having us. We will be back. :):):):):)

Nice little resort and very comfortable bungalows.

It was homely and comfortable whilst still giving the chance to experience real village life on the island and live how the families do there.

Wai Makere Home Stay with heart! A rustic, island living experience in the Yasawa islands of Fiji. Much different than the mainland. Small, remote, and tranquil. We flew into Nadi, stayed 1 night, then bought a round trip ferry through South Seas Cruises, which was a good move. They drop you right out front of the bay at Wai Makare to a small boat transfer. A HomeStay here at this eco-resort is unique. We did both the dorm sleeping in single beds with other guests, and a private room with 2 beds. We prefer the private room as a couple. Kind of like glamping. Some updating is in progress. This is a small eco-resort run by a local family that is on the opposite side of the island from the main village. For example, water is captured in a tank from rain water. The fish we ate for lunch was freshly caught the night before. You can sign up to watch them spearfishing 🐟🎏 Good food is prepared for 3 meals a day. Like 3 diff meals were fresh Wahoo fish fillet, vegetable and egg stew, and chop suey. At the homestay… Good food, good people, and snorkeling that is world class. The wide private beach is beautiful with a coral garden drop off and 100s of fish, 50-70 meters swim from the shore. Unplug as there is not wifi here. This was a plus in our eyes and helped us relax. Take pics and post later :-)

The best in all of the yasawa islands. Best bang for your buck

Evelyne, Rosa, Jerry an Toki were amazing! We had the best time with them and all the kids that were around. There are so many things to do and a lot of those things are for free. The property is insanly beautiful and the food from Evelyne is fresh and super good! It was one of the best stays we ever had!

Unique experience, living in a village among the community. Unbelievably beautiful beach, reefs and sunsets. Worth the minor challenges of a simple hut, variable food, outhouse and cold showers. Bring a ball or some watercolors to play with all the kids!
