Oarsman’s Bay Lodge absolutely exceeded our expectations - we spent a fantastic week in this remote paradise on Nacula island! I’ve loved everything about it: the remote & quiet island feel it evokes & its location (set in its own bay and stunning coral reef, with only one neighbouring resort), the lovely staff and their amazing hospitality, the great bures (bungalows) by the sea, their lovely decor and the attention to detail throughout the little resort (in the common & dining area), and most of all, that it feels like a small private community/ homestay, interacting with the (mostly younger) guest in the greatly organised (free or paid) activities like reef snorkelling or the trip to the nearby caves - we’ve certainly made new friends :) Plus, I loved that you can snorkel the house reef at high tide (and borrow equipment free of charge), at your own pace, or SUPs and canoes - all greatly recommended activities!! The meals (quality and chefs‘ creativity) were unmatched. There’s a good breakfast selection (Western style and local - best are the fresh tropical fruits & vegetables!), great lunch, and selection between a fish or chicken dish for dinner - especially the freshly caught red snapper and local yam were amazing. Oh and afternoon tea (and daily changing, fresh cakes) are yummy and not to miss after a snorkel or swim! I also truly like that Oarsman’s is unpretentious and unfussy, and in a non-luxurious way providing you with everything and more than you need (picture-perfect settings such as white sand, palm trees, amazing sea and reef, lovely fresh flowers everywhere, great food, and wifi limited to the lobby to truly be off the grid), making for a relaxed, and thanks to the small size, family-like atmosphere that truly helped to unwind and forget about the world for a week! The entire Oarsman’s team made this one of - if not the - best vacations of my life, and deserves a big vinaka vakalevu for a truly memorable stay! <3

- The food is beyond exceptional, there wasn’t single meal that we had that wasn’t amazing. Everything from curry’s, stir fry’s to roast dinners every dish was delicious the kitchen team are outstanding - Jodie the scuba instructor was brilliant, she was knowledgable and infinitely patient, reassuring us every step of the way. We had a really good time doing the ‘discover scuba’ trip - We stayed in a bungalow which was much more spacious than the accommodation we stayed in on the other islands and more importantly had air conditioning

We loved it so much! We stayed 7 days in a dorm tent and it was very comfortable and got cleaned every day. We went snorkeling every day from all of the 3 beaches and saw so many different fishes and corals. It was beautiful! But as muck diving lovers we enjoyed the muck diving with Rob the most! We were fortunate enough to find 3 different types of the rare Shaun the Sheep nudibranch, a ghostpipefish and even a seahorse. 🥰

I stayed only 2 nights at Navi's homestay and I wish I had more time. They welcomed me as familly, food was delicious, and it was a great experience to discover the local life (going to church, visiting the village, drinking kava with locals..). Thanks for opening your home to me and for your kindness !

The bure and facilities were amazing. The staff put lots of effort into making me feel comfortable and to make the resort a memorable stay. All the staff were extremely friendly and I could tell they enjoyed their work and spending time with each other.

The staff were absolutely amazing from first arriving, loved all the activities and they were so friendly and accommodating! Our accommodation was great and the whole area is very well kept and maintained by all of the staff.

The staff are so happy to interact. I get the feeling they all enjoy their days. The food was excellent and the snorkeling good right here. We are staying another 3 nights, it's so nice.

Beautiful beach, amazing staff and incredible tour and activities. We did the bull shark dive and it was one of the best experiences we’ve had! The food was delicious and plentiful.

Real paradise! Beautiful place, champagne beach, coral reef with fish, wonderful staff, fine dining!

The location is just amazing, the staff was extraordinarily friendly and welcoming.

Best resort we've ever been to. Most beautiful people and incredible location
