We loved absolutely everything about Oarsman's Bay Lodge-the beach, accommodation, surroundings, activities, food and especially the staff. We went to 2 other islands afterwards, and realised how spoilt we'd been at OBL. It was everything we'd dreamed of, and a lot more. Thank you to ALL the staff, who were like family. We had the holiday of a lifetime, and will definitely be back. This is the place for the true Fiji experience. Cannot give a higher review or recommendation. Thanks team OBL.

Beach was wonderful. Had this been first place we stayed we would have given higher marks, but stayed first at another island resort that had choices for meals instead of fish, fish, and more fish. Service at other resort better too as never had to ask for anything as someone always asking and attentive to our wishes.

Bula, Thank you for the positive review and for choosing to stay with us. We are happy to know your overall experience with us was positive. Our lodge overlooks Nalova Bay. One of the most beautiful beaches in the Yasawas with blue waters, white soft sands, beautiful coral and lots of marine life and fish. Our meals consist of local fresh foods, and our meals on the island are very seafood/fish oriented. Fish is caught fresh daily and produce is also grown in our very own gardens. We are located on a rural island and feel this method works best. Thank you for your constructive feedback though. We will make sure to pass it to the team. Vinaka Vakalevu, Dean and the Oarsman's team.

Séjour paradisiaque
Bonne pension familiale où nous avons passé un agréable séjour et à taille humaine (8/10 bures). Le site est idéal au bord du lagon et de la plage. On se sent vraiment coupé du monde. La Bure est top et très confortable avec un super lit et une vue sur la mer et le coucher de soleil. La terrasse est top ainsi que les transats sur la plage. Ils prêtent des kayaks. Nous vous conseillons de faire la randonnée pour avoir la vue sur toutes les baies, c'est magnifique (chemin juste derrière l'hôtel). Les petis plus appréciables : l'arrivée en chanson, l'animation musicale au dîner et le goûter tea time, la table réservée pour manger tous les repas et en-tête à tête. La nourriture est bonne (attention, si vous n'aimez pas le poisson, vous abstenir car on en mange à tous les repas). Le seul point qui nous a dérangé, c'est que la patronne a une rigueur trop militaire : pas le droit de prendre d'autres transats que ceux attribués, quand vous avez le malheur de le faire vous vous faites réprimander comme à l'école (désagréable surtout quand il n'y avait personne sur aucun transat), manger les repas à heure fixe (ils sonnent l'instrument local) soit à 8h, 12h, 19h, le briefing collectif à l'arrivée, le check-out où chacun notre tour on se fait concoquer dans le bureau (comme à l'école chez Mme la directrice). Une ambiance plus détendue est attendue surtout avec le fiji time et dans cet endroit paradisiaque.

Bula Laurent, Merci for choosing to stay with us at Oarsman's Bay and for taking the time to share your experience. We are pleased to know you enjoyed the bures - that were recently renovated, and appreciated that they were just metres away from the beach - Nalova Bay. We are happy to know you enjoyed the beautiful and relaxing view from the bure. We have things that need to be coordinated especially because we are a small lodge with just 10 bures, so we need to make sure our guests are all happy, and the team also work well with time of meals - make sure they are fresh, etc. We hope to see you again soon! Vinaka Vakalevu, Dean and the Oarsman's team.

Excellent Island Adventure
The staff were absolutely wonderful, they made had everything we needed and were very helpful. hey served 2 meals of fish per day, cooked in a different recipe for each meal. Sounds like a lot of fish but it was delicious. Very nice place for swimming and snorkelling. They have free use of paddle boards and kayaks which is a nice touch. Highly recommend it!

We came here for the last leg of our honeymoon and this was our first time in Fiji. The staff was wonderful - so sweet and accommodating and always willing to try to help us. The water temperature for the shower was very finicky, but the bathroom/shower outside was very cool. Our bure was very comfortable and we had a kitchen but it did not have any pots/pans plates/silverware. It was nice to have a refrigerator though. The water comes up pretty close to the bures which was really nice, and you're able to walk right out into the water for snorkeling. We used the facility next door for our scuba activities and diving. They accommodated me fairly well for being a vegetarian as they only offer one meal for lunch and dinner with fairly the same breakfast choices daily. Some more variety with their meals, and maybe some options for mid-day to eat would be a good idea as there are no other places nearby to eat and if the kitchen is closed you can't get any food besides chips at the bar. We did enjoy the community feel and our last night there was the Lovo dinner buffet and a Kava ceremony afterwards which was wonderful. Thank you Ben, Anna and Joe for all of your help during our stay - you guys were great. If you enjoy a small, community style, simple stay in Fiji, this place will fit you just fine.

Bula Julia. We are honoured that this was the last leg of your honeymoon. Thank you for choosing to stay with us and we are very happy to read you had a great Fijian experience for your first time! :) We are pleased you had the chance to experience the beautiful Nalova Bay right (literally a few footsteps away) by your bure. We are pleased you got to make the most out of our complimentary water equipment, including the snorkelling gear. Thank you for the feedback regarding the water temperature in the showers, and no equipment in the kitchen. We will pass this on to our team immediately. We offer a buffet breakfast, lunch meal, afternoon tea, and a three course dinner daily to our guests on a daily basis as a part of our meal plans. The food is usually cooked (caught and picked) fresh daily. Thank you for the feedback regarding the variety. We want our guests to have local authentic meals, which are seafood-inspired, but we understand that our guests come from all over and have different taste buds. We try and cater to all with what we can offer that is fresh, because we are also on a rural island. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and we hope you will come back sometime soon! Vinaka Vakalevu, Dean and the Oarsman's team.

The situation of the property is second to none with the most beautiful scenery, staff are all very friendly and helpful with lots of activities to take part in. The only reason I havent given a higher score is purely based on the food which was all fish, I don't eat fish at all so I opted for the vegetarian option but I just felt that the $98 was expensive.

Bula! Vinaka for choosing to stay at Oarsman's Bay! We are happy to read you savoured the incredible scenery that is within and surrounds Nacula Island. Our staff will be very pleased to hear that you appreciated their hospitality. which comes natural to our Fijian culture and way of life. Thank you for the feedback regarding the ingredients we offer in our meals. We cook for our guests fresh, authentic and local cuisine, consisting of fish caught daily and fruits and vegetables grown from our very own gardens and farms. Because we are on a rural island, we want to give our guests the best we can offer, and due to this, we are limited with the variety of meats and other foods we can offer that are truly fresh. We will continue to work to ensure our guests enjoy the variety we can offer in our meals, and still keep them fresh. We hope to see you again very soon!

The staff and location are fabulous! The actual Bures are terrible. We stayed in Bure 4 for 3 nights. The size and amenities of the bure were fine. However, the screens were filthy with bugs, there were spider webs on the bench in our room, our sheets had sand, and we could not escape ants and mosquitos - in or out of the room. The only relief was in the ocean. Additionally, the outdoor shower worked fine if scalding water, lukewarm and ice cold water in random rotation with minimal pressure are your idea or working fine. The food was fabulous! I happen to love fish but if you don't, I have no idea what you will eat. Lunch and Dinner is limited to the single option which is fish. Breakfast is pastries, fruit, hard boiled eggs, cereal... It was all presented and cooked well. I really did enjoy it but won't be eating fish anytime again soon. Instant coffee and tea are available complimentary from early morning until after Dinner as is filtered water. We were also able to get ice on a couple occassions. Cocktails are available and during our stay typically two special drinks were offered at F$35 to F$40. Soda was also available for F$5.50 which I thought pretty reasonable. We took three tours - snorkeling at Honeymoon Beach, Blue Lagoon and Sawa-i-Lau Caves. These tours were actually some of the best we have ever taken. If I was just reviewing the tours, a 5 would not be high enough. Overall, the resort was super boring, dirty and buggy.

Bula Heather, We were very saddened to read your review as it is not reflective of the reviews we receive. First and foremost we take pride that our team, made up of the local people from the Nacula Village community, and neighbouring islands, work hard to give our guests a truly magical and hospitable experience. We are very pleased to know you at least had a chance to appreciate and savour in the beauty of Nacula Island. We are very fortunate to be located in the heart of the Yasawas, with crystal blue waters, incredible marine and coral life, soft white sand, and neighbouring sites like the Sawa-I-Lau Caves. In terms of the dining experience, we serve authentic Fijian local meals, and the majority of them feature seafood and fish caught fresh daily. It makes sense to serve our guests delicious meals that are locally caught on a daily basis, and grown fresh in our gardens, rather than depending on frozen meats and produce all the way from the main island. It tastes much better, fresher, and will keep the price at a reasonable rate. With regards to bugs, we are in the tropics and recommend all guest make use of their personal insect repellant. Our outdoor showers are popular with our guests but understand they might not be a 'bug-free' environment. We do take on your feedback and will ensure our team strive for a 'bug-free' Bure experience where possible. As for the conditions of our bures, we have recently renovated them, and the majority of our guests find them comfortable. We're sorry they are not to your standard. We have also had no complaints abut the quality of our linen but will look in to the set provided for your stay to ensure they are as per our usual high standard. Please feel free to contact us directly if you wish to discuss this any further. Vinaka Vakalevu, Dean and the Oarsman's team.

Freundlich, familiär, keine Massenabfertigung
Sauberer und schöner Dorm, freundliches Personal, toller Strand (deutlich ruhiger als im Resort nebenan), nicht so überlaufen. Es gibt jeden Tag (ausschließlich) frischen Fisch, der sehr lecker schmeckt. Vegetarische Alternativen werden ebenfalls gekocht. Portionsgrößen sind ok, manchmal etwas wenig. Frühstück ist nicht so gut, sehr wenig Auswahl und recht "rustikal", oft überreifes Obst. Allerdings ist dies kein Beinbruch. Der Rest entschädigt absolut. Sonntags-Ausflug in die Kirche ist kostenlos, allerdings mit Vorsicht zu genießen, da es sich bei der besuchten Kirche um eine der "Pfingstbewegung" handelt.

We appreciate that you enjoyed the cleanliness and state of the dorms, and the hospitality of our staff who come from our Nacula Village community. Thank you for your constructive feedback relating to the food. We will let the team know. We try and make sure that our food is freshly made and locally sourced as much as possible because we are a rural island that is not so close to the main island, so it isn't as easy to source foods.

Schnorcheln direkt vor unserer Haustür war schöner als am Schnorcheltrip, türkisfarbenes Meer, Meerblick, Terrasse mit bequemen Adirondack-Stühlen und ein Hängesessel.

Loved the beautiful location, the friendly and helpful staff, the wonderful locally-sourced food and the authenticity of the place to Fijian traditions. This is not a 5 star minibar-in-the-room resort but it’s all the better for that. It’s the kind of place where guests from all over the world sit together with a beer to chat and watch the sun set. The bures are clean and comfortable without being luxurious. The resort felt safe and fun for me and my son. I hope to return soon.

"Vinaka" The Oarsman's
We wish we could have stayed longer. After a long boat trip to the Island, we were met by The Oarsman’s team on the beach. The cool refreshing coconut drinks that they served us were delicious. The team was so attentive to any requests we had during our stay. They really went over and above to make our stay there memorable. A special thanks to Dean who took us on a "March/Run" up the mountain behind the lodge. :-) (lol) my legs hurt for days!!! The view from the top over Nacula Island was spectacular and the hike was so informative. I would definitely recommend this. I would also like to specifically thank Oni and the team. Thank you for taking the time to share some stories about the customs and tradition of Fiji and of your home Oni. The snorkeling trips around nearby bays are brilliant especially "Blue Lagoon". The resort is owned by the local village so it's nice to see your money being used for the benefit of the local community. And finally, the farewell song. Such a beautiful send off. Thank you! Vinaka, Ivone and Hein

Resort di piccole dimensioni ( 10 bure ) su una delle ultime isole delle Yasawa. Qui il contatto con la natura è assicurato e la tranquillità nonm manca. Mare splendido con colori da paradiso. Abbiamo avuto tre giornate di sole caldo e splendente che ci hanno compensato dei giorni piovosi precedenti. C'e l'obbligo di aderire alla pensione completa, che ha un costo molto ridotto, ma anche il servizio è essenziale e senza possibili scelte da menu. Discretamente buono il cibo. In tre giorni non ci sono state cambiate le lenzuola e gli asciugamani in dotazione ( 1 a testa per il bagno ed 1 per il mare ), ma che importanza ha ? Questo è il paradiso dove la doccia si fa fuori casa o in mare. Eccellente esperienza. RACCOMANDATO

Waterfront villa, wake in the morning to the sound of the tide coming in. wake in the night to see the moon on the water. Lots of planting around all villa's, making it a pleasure to wander around in the sand and 'grass'. Amazing staff , nice and quiet surrounds. Guests seem to be people who appreciate the peace and quiet of this setting. The beach is the best in the area for swimming and snorkeling.

Beach View, Welcoming staff, Good Food, Fiji Water
Beautiful and relaxing place to stay, private villas by the beach, great hospitality, the villas were so clean and comfortable. The water on tap is spring water which is the same as having Fiji Water on tap which is what sets this resort apart from other resorts in Yasawa. every room has electricity and outdoor showers in the villas. There were daily activities for us to partake in and the option to include all meals for $FJD98 which is great when you’re budgeting. I felt relaxed as soon as I got off the boat. The backpackers accommodation was private and had the view of the beach

Lodge meraviglioso affacciato sulla blue lagoon
Questo lodge non viene recensito come dovrebbe. Innanzitutto la posizione: è praticamente attaccato al resort bluelagoon che costa il doppio. Entrambi si affacciano su questa laguna celeste meravigliosa e di lato si può fare uno snorkeling eccellente tipo film Nemo. La qualità del cibo è la migliore che io abbia assaggiato girando 3 strutture alle yasawa. Sfornano pane caldo tutti i giorni e a merenda torte al cioccolato e dolci fantastici. Io che ho una bambina che nn tanto si adattava al cibo fijano si è cibata sempre di torte pane e un giorno pure spaghetti bolognese ben fatti. Le camere sono pulitissime silenziose a 2 passi dal mare( ma 2 veramente) Se si intende fare immersioni si può andare al blue lagoon pagando il corso. Il villaggio dista 30 minuti a piedi facendo una bella passeggiata sulla spiaggia oppure in barca. La ciliegina sulla torta è rappresentata sicuramente dalla signora Honey meravigliosa gentile disponibile a risolvere qualsiasi problema. Una vacanza indimenticabile!

Translated from Italian Guest Feedback >>>>> ""This lodge is not reviewed as it should. First of all the position: it is practically attached to the bluelagoon resort which costs twice as much. Both overlook this marvelous heavenly lagoon and from the side you can do excellent snorkeling like Nemo film. The quality of the food is the best I have tasted when shooting 3 facilities at the yasawa. They bake hot bread every day and a snack of chocolate cakes and fantastic desserts. I have a little girl who did not eat Fijano food but she always had bread cakes and one day she made well-made spaghetti Bolognese. The rooms are very clean and quiet 2 steps from the sea (but 2 really) If you want to dive you can go to the blue lagoon paying the course. The village is a 30-minute walk away by taking a walk on the beach or by boat. The icing on the cake is surely represented by Mrs. Honey wonderful kind available to solve any problem. An unforgettable holiday!"" We are very thankful for such kind words from your experience. All the best in your travels. Dean Team OBL

Authentic Fiji
My stay at Oarsman's Bay Lodge was excellent. Right from the Bula welcome to the humble and happy service I received. Oni and Dean were fantastic hosts and ensured my stay was memorable. I highly recommend this location for the traditional cultural importance and the benefit to the traditional owners of the region. The environment is beautiful and has many wonderful photo opportunities. The Fijian hospitality forever in my heart and I sincerely thank Dean, Oni and their staff for the exceptional memories.

Steps away from a beautiful blue white sandy beach
The stay was really good, the staff, manager all were helpful - but the main reason to be here is the beach, it’s beautiful! You are literally steps away from the beautiful (white soft, sandy, BLUE) beach. Wish we could have stayed there longer.

Nice location, bad place
Power is cut everyday, meaning no aircon nor fan at the hottest time of the day. Water is cut occasionally too, meaning you cannot take a shower, wash your hands or flush the toilet. WiFi available in bar area only ... when power is on ! Breakfast minimal, food correct when fish or chicken, bad when (hard) beef. Cutting power to freezer and fridge at hottest time of the day constitutes a serious health hazard. Bad maintenance on main building and bungalows. Handrails in bar area are collapsing, there are holes in the floor. If the place is to be operated as a tramper halt, without water nor power, this must be clearly stated when advertising, and rates must be drastically reduced accordingly. This penny-saving policy makes the stay quite unpleasant and uncomfortable. A drastic change in ownership/management must be implemented urgently, otherwise better close the place. Charging the actual rate for a no-power no-water halt is pure robbery.

Wonderful beach for swimming and snorkelling
Spent four lovely days at Oarsmans Bay Lodge. Our room was right on the beautiful beach, which is great at both high and low tide, with a sandy area in the middle of the bay for swimming, and a coral reef stretching out to sea along the side. And loads of fish! The island is big enough to have hills for a decent walk.

Fiji wie es sein sollte!
Tolle, große Bungalows. Eigene Sonnenliegen. Warmes Wasser. Sehr familiär und super freundliches Personal. Bequeme Betten. Sagenhafter Strand (auch bei Ebbe gut zu schwimmen und Schnorcheln. Resort isz komplett in einheimischem Besitz. Nur ein Gericht zur Auswahl, aber das war stets lecker. WLAN kostet 10$\Nacht (Strom wird unter Tags abgestellt). Kein Luxus Resort, aber eine der besten Unterkünfte, in der wir je waren. Der Charme ist unschlagbar. Genauso haben eir uns Fidschi vorgestellt. Wir hätten es nicht gegen das Blue Lagoon Resort eintauschen wollen.

The dorm rooms are ok (and I was lucky to be alone so private room..), position is beautiful and good snorkeling from the beach. It is not that good the compulsory meal package, if compared with other resorts with the same price (or even cheaper) food is worse for both variety and quantity. The blue lagoon trip is ok for the beach but for snorkeling is a waste of money since they have better reef in front of the resort.
