A great location away from the usual tourist traps but close enough to walk to a local shop and swimming beach. Bikes were not available however we hired ebikes which made the whole island accessible. It's suited our needs well and Vaiana was quick to help with any problems.

The host was welcoming and fast to reply to any concerns you have . Yes the place is close to town and your everyday needs . Things were supplied already like toilet paper , hand wash , sun block , dishwashing liquid and all . Beside that it does get really hot with just one fan . But other then that my stay was amazing and loved it thank you host

ONE OF MY BEST VACATIONS EVER

The property is quaint does not have all the bells and whistels of resorts, however the location is great and the staff was very helpfull. The price for my stay was very reasonable. I rented a car for my weeks stay, I would suggest that it makes your vacation very enjoyable. The owner Vaiana George and the Fijian lady very helpful. I would reccomend the Hiddem Gem for a budget vacation.
