Homestays in Drawaqa Island

Tai Evi homestay was the highlight of our trip to the Yasawa islands and we wish we could've stayed for longer. It is basic accommodation but perfect for what we needed and we stayed right in the village with Silo's family. The food was delicious. There is lots to do - we saw the manta rays in the manta ray passage which is a boat trip away as well as amazing reef. The beach is also nice with some good coral as well. It was also the 1st year anniversary of the homestay whilst we were there so we had a BBQ with the family and all the guests and we helped with some of the preparation of the food. However, the highlight for us was the company and people that we met here :)

Family was amazing. Food was amazing. Remote location was amazing. Beautifully authentic experience, that will long live on in our memory. Was such an honour to connect with the host family, play with the kids, and be so warmly welcomed into the village community. I hope all who come be sure to give presence and thanks to the land and its people. It is a rare and special thing to be able to live so simply in this untouched and untainted way -- this is the first and only homestay in Soso Bay (largest village in the Yasawas). Wow, wow, wow. We miss it already!

Just paradise. Will definetly go back there if I can.

I think this is just one of the best places I ve been. Hospitality, location and new clean rooms. Thanks for this great memory

Jolame and Marie are very kind people, caring for everyone and very welcoming to their house. We had the best stay, luckily for us we had two nights without other visitors and had plenty of time to engage with Maria, talk about life on the island and enjoy quiet place. It's located at the end of the village, tucked away from the resort, yet it's a short walk to the main beach, and you can grab a drink at the Wayalailai resort. Jolame organised all activities for us, no problem. We recommend doing the hike with a guide, not just for safety (I am sure we could do the walk by ourselves if somebody pointed us the right direction) but also for a good talk about the village and the place. Apex was a great guide and very fun to spend time with. Sweet Marie did her best to accommodate my dietary requirements, and her food was magic, thank you!
