We really enjoyed our stay with this local family in the Fao Fao fales. Beautiful beach out the front, nice rustic bar and dining area overlooking the water and reef. Seems like snorkling off beach would be good (we didnt get time to) and lots of attractions close by.

Loved staying here! Everyone was so friendly and it was a little slice of paradise. The beach was pristine and loved staying in the traditional fale. Food with the family each day was big portions and fresh and different each day. Would recommend to anyone wanting a down to earth, quiet and beautiful spot.

Simple accommodation literally on the beach. The fales allow privacy as required, with multiple 'walls' allowing height adjustment. This also works well for controlling the temperature of the room. Be aware there is no outlet for use in the fales (but apparently there were other locations you could use). Bathroom facilities are rustic, but clean and well maintained/stocked. Ear protection recommended - the surf is loud, and there is a road immediately behind the fales (albeit lightly travelled).

They have very comfortable new mattresses in the traditional fales- no holes in mosquito nets and bathrooms well maintained and clean. The breakfast was great and the dinners well worth the the small additional charhw
Traditional fale right on a beautiful beach
lovely area for sunset dinners which were the best we had in all out fale stays, with a great little bar there as well!
