Bula Douglas, Thank you for the 10/10! We are happy you took advantage of our complimentary water equipment and went snorkelling, paddle boarding and kayaking in our beautiful Nalova Bay. We hope to see you again soon! Vinaka vaka levu, Dean and the team at Oarsman's Bay Lodge.

Our staff are from our local communities, and we are co-owned and co-operated by the Nacula Village, so you are supporting our locals by choosing to stay with us (and have a great time too)!

Bula Elizabeth, Thank you for the 10/10 review for Oarsman's Bay Lodge! We are very happy to know you had a great experience with us. We hope you get to come back to Nacula Island, in the Yasawas of Fiji, and enjoy the beautiful blue waters again soon! Vinaka Vakalevu, Dean and the Oarsman's team.

Bula Brian, Thank you for giving us such a wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience at Oarsman's Bay Lodge! The staff will be happy to know you enjoyed the Fijian hospitality. We love to make our guests feel like family. That includes making fresh and authentic local foods with love. The props are picked from our gardens and fish are caught fresh daily - and we are happy that you noticed that! We hope to welcome you to the Oarsman's family again soon! :) Vinaka Vakalevu, Dean and the team at Oarsman's.

Bula! Vinaka for the amazing 5/5 review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay with us at Oarsman's Bay. We hope you can come back sometime soon and relax in our little slice of Paradise! Vinaka Vakalevu, Dean and the Oarsman's team.

Bula Julia. We are honoured that this was the last leg of your honeymoon. Thank you for choosing to stay with us and we are very happy to read you had a great Fijian experience for your first time! :) We are pleased you had the chance to experience the beautiful Nalova Bay right (literally a few footsteps away) by your bure. We are pleased you got to make the most out of our complimentary water equipment, including the snorkelling gear. Thank you for the feedback regarding the water temperature in the showers, and no equipment in the kitchen. We will pass this on to our team immediately. We offer a buffet breakfast, lunch meal, afternoon tea, and a three course dinner daily to our guests on a daily basis as a part of our meal plans. The food is usually cooked (caught and picked) fresh daily. Thank you for the feedback regarding the variety. We want our guests to have local authentic meals, which are seafood-inspired, but we understand that our guests come from all over and have different taste buds. We try and cater to all with what we can offer that is fresh, because we are also on a rural island. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and we hope you will come back sometime soon! Vinaka Vakalevu, Dean and the Oarsman's team.

Bula! Vinaka for choosing to stay at Oarsman's Bay! We are happy to read you savoured the incredible scenery that is within and surrounds Nacula Island. Our staff will be very pleased to hear that you appreciated their hospitality. which comes natural to our Fijian culture and way of life. Thank you for the feedback regarding the ingredients we offer in our meals. We cook for our guests fresh, authentic and local cuisine, consisting of fish caught daily and fruits and vegetables grown from our very own gardens and farms. Because we are on a rural island, we want to give our guests the best we can offer, and due to this, we are limited with the variety of meats and other foods we can offer that are truly fresh. We will continue to work to ensure our guests enjoy the variety we can offer in our meals, and still keep them fresh. We hope to see you again very soon! Vinaka Vakalevu, Dean and the Oarsman's team.

Bula Heather, We were very saddened to read your review as it is not reflective of the reviews we receive. First and foremost we take pride that our team, made up of the local people from the Nacula Village community, and neighbouring islands, work hard to give our guests a truly magical and hospitable experience. We are very pleased to know you at least had a chance to appreciate and savour in the beauty of Nacula Island. We are very fortunate to be located in the heart of the Yasawas, with crystal blue waters, incredible marine and coral life, soft white sand, and neighbouring sites like the Sawa-I-Lau Caves. In terms of the dining experience, we serve authentic Fijian local meals, and the majority of them feature seafood and fish caught fresh daily. It makes sense to serve our guests delicious meals that are locally caught on a daily basis, and grown fresh in our gardens, rather than depending on frozen meats and produce all the way from the main island. It tastes much better, fresher, and will keep the price at a reasonable rate. With regards to bugs, we are in the tropics and recommend all guest make use of their personal insect repellant. Our outdoor showers are popular with our guests but understand they might not be a 'bug-free' environment. We do take on your feedback and will ensure our team strive for a 'bug-free' Bure experience where possible. As for the conditions of our bures, we have recently renovated them, and the majority of our guests find them comfortable. We're sorry they are not to your standard. We have also had no complaints abut the quality of our linen but will look in to the set provided for your stay to ensure they are as per our usual high standard. Please feel free to contact us directly if you wish to discuss this any further. Vinaka Vakalevu, Dean and the Oarsman's team.
