TEKITEKI rumba! 🌺 How relaxed do our guests visiting from New Zealand look after enjoying their BOBO (traditional Fijian) massage from Siga Beauty Spa ?! 💆🏽‍♀️ Mere lives across from the village and provides a mobile service, bringing her massage services to our door. We honestly can’t recommend her highly enough - the best masseur in Rakiraki…Fiji even! 🙌🏾

Sharing our village with our French visitors the last couple of days reminded us about the beauty of travel and multiculturalism. 🌴🛖✨

Their children explored and played with the kids in the village, and the adults chatted with the locals and enjoyed the experience of kava during the sevusevu - they even took part in pounding the waka (kava root). ✊🏽Once again the ladies in the village prepared some delicious meals for their dinner, including some freshly caught Walu (Spanish mackerel). 😋

There is so much we can learn from each other, no matter our differences. Culture is cool! 🫶🏽 🌎 🐚 🌊

Why did we plant dwarf coconut trees? So our little ones could pick and sip themselves of course! Holiday smarter, not harder 😜 🌴 🥥

So exciting! VOU circus is in Rakiraki town this weekend! Love that this young, local-led circus is making the rounds to local communities to entertain and inspire. The reviews are clear: this is not one to be missed! ✨🤡 🎪

Every year, VOU carries out a youth talent search across the country, where locals are accommodated, paid in a two year course....

Have you tried the banana and papaya in Fiji? It’s soooo sweet and tasty! Our trees are fruiting and should be ready just in time for our guests arriving from France this week. 🇫🇷 Organic and picked fresh off the tree. 🌴 Cant get better than that! 🍌🤌🏾

Happy birthday to Nei Liku, a great housekeeper and babakau-breakfast-maker! If you have stayed with us before you will have been welcomed by Nei Liku or perhaps enjoyed her babakau for breakfast. 😋 Thank you for all you do around The Village. 🎂 🎈 🎉

Samisoni and his team travelled from Suva and installed more solar panels for us over the weekend. ☀️ This upgrade doubled our power capacity.💯🙌🏾 Sami also told us about how our scillion roof design is the perfect surface area for solar panels which makes future upgrades easier. We love a scillion design, so to hear the practical benefit from an eco perspective added value to our vision. ✨It’s the small things that get us excited and motivate us to keep pursuing those dreams! Our next upgrade will power our glamping tents coming June 2025. Vinaka Samisoni!🌴 ⛺️ 🌴

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Ta Jese, the world’s best caretaker. From greeting guests, trouble-shooting the generator and solar power, walking the cows, gardening and so much more. We appreciate all that you do around the village! 🎂 🎈 🎉 🥳

SIGATABU (Sunday): our teenagers from the village Buna and Luke took our guests to church, and afterwards enjoyed a feast with the family - a typical Sigatabu in the village! ⛪️🌴🥥
P.S Peep the custom .au.eco t-shirt made by locally owned business 👀 👕

SULU (sarongs) is traditional attire in a Fijian village and often worn around the village as a sign of respect. You can BYO sulu when visiting us or ask the ladies in the village about how you can get your hands on a custom made .au.eco sulu. 🫶🏽

Our guest Jane checked in and went straight into a relaxing sunset bobo (Fijian massage) with Aunty Mere, masseur and owner of Siga Beauty Spa. Jane enjoyed her bobo so much she booked a daily massage for every day she stayed with us. 💆🏽‍♀️

Siga Spa is a locally owned business located across the road from the village. You can book a massage at Aunty Mere’s home spa (500m walk) or she can provide a mobile service to our Airbnb. The ultimate Fijian village experience! 🌅

A key aspect of our eco vision is to provide a source of income to our mataqali (clan). 🛖🌴 For example, all meals are prepared by the women of our mataqali: mataqali (clan) Natiliva-I-Ra and 100% of proceeds goes directly to them. 🌺

So when you choose to stay, explore and eat with our village just know that you are contributing to something beautifully intentional and circular: by letting us showcase our village, traditions and culture to you, you are sustaining it too. 🫶🏽🤲🏾🫶🏽

A big vinaka vaka levu (thank you!) to this Dutch family visiting from Singapore recently. Whilst the AirBnB house has a full kitchen, they chose to have their meals cooked by the women in the village. Travelling this way empowers these women and is a great way to mingle with the locals and experience the village and culture!

Set on 4 acres of cleared sugarcane land now converted to lush tropical gardens, the property is located on village land on the cusp of a traditional Fijian village (300 metres walk to Navutulevu village) which is close enough to experience authentic, traditional Fijian life but far enough to enjoy the ultimate privacy and tranquility of island life. 🌱

Immerse yourself in village living, soak up serene nature, or explore land & sea.🌴🛖 🤿 🛶
