We had the most wonderful holiday and it was all due to the location and home we chose to stay in ( Totoka Kalou). From the time we started to prepare for this holiday, Kerry and Mark were so helpful with suggestions and contacts and advice. When we got to the location we were blown away with how beautiful it was. We also loved having Poonam there to help us all the way. She came to the markets with us and cooked traditional foods. She helped us with knowing about the culture and places to go and see and things to do. We love her so much!
We wanted to experience the real Fiji , not just resort life. This home was near villages, schools but also right next door to the coral coast! We snorkeled in the most amazing coral reef every single morning! Had a fresh coconut for breakfast, then mixed with the beautiful people of Fiji in the day and then at night, jumped off the jetty into the crystal clear water with all the school children.
We felt that we could really get to know the local people and learn about the culture because of the connection Kerry and Mark have with the Fijian people.
Our neighbours Ben and Emma we so beautiful and helpful as well. We had the best Lovi with them and recommend to any travelers to definitely talk to Ben about all of his knowledge of the local area. They are wonderful people and their children quickly became best friends with ours. Was very sad to leave.
