    Awesome true fijian experience with the most lovely family that really take care of you and on such a wonderful little island. Beautiful snorkel spots around the island, great beaches and walks with scenic views of other islands and turquoise waters. Can’t recommend more to everyone who wants to experience an authentic and beautiful stay in the Yasawa Islands in Fiji.

    Nice stay in Yasawa islands! If you are addicted to snorkelling and you want to relax giving up some unnecessary luxury comfort, this place is perfect for you! Nice bungalows close to beautiful private beach, few guests, perfect privacy! The staff is nice family that gives you the warmest welcome. Hand-made food is good and filtered water is available, no need of bottled water. The island is very nice and small so activities can be done by boat but also quite easily by foot. We recommend and hope to return one day!

    Would love to have some more places to sit rather than just on beach. Maybe some hammocks

    The moment I stepped off the boat I felt at home. The atmosphere there is one of peace and tranquility. The bed was comfortable and they provided solar lights and fans. With the windows open and the incredible sound of the ocean and wind coming through at night I didn’t need the fan too much but was nice to have it for the less windy night. The food was fresh and delicious. The beach was lovely for walks down to the tea house and to sit and swim in the water. We went out hand line fishing and managed to catch some fish and see some turtles at sunset. Had a massage before breakfast on the beach and went to mass in the church. It was such a pleasure to meet the family there and the children will forever live in my heart. Will miss you all and take your smiles and goodness with me.

    Gold Coast is beautiful. Super nice beach. The meals were great! Especially the breakfasts. We did a picnic on a private beach, while we snorkeled our host caught fish and our hostess prepared the fire to cook the fish over. Truly an authentic experience. We will be back

    Needed brush to keep sand out of room and bed!

    Super location right on the beach. Tea ( hostess) was amazing very informative and food was lovely and very varied. Her little son Nico was a little charmer. Room was good size with good bathroom. Good hiking either on beach or over hill to Blue Lagoon. We were recommended Gold Coast by previous guest.

    ..... can't think of anything

    The hosts, Illi and Johnny, were great. The food was good. The location is excellent, as you can do walks and hikes around on the island and to the other side. The beaches and water are nice. Everyone is friendly and happy. Its not a resort, its an actual homestay and a glimpse into their day to day life. It's very uplifting. No wifi, but you can charge your devices at the main house. Bring fj cash.

    Other than slightly poor water pressure nothing of note to dislike about a stay in this accommodation.

    Exactly as advertised on the website, very relaxing place to holiday, with beach views and swimming just outside your cabin, very comfortable bed, also excellent food, available day trips etc. Very friendly owners who made me feel very much at home during my stay.

    Just wow... I didn't expect it would be so hard to say goodbye after only 2 nights at this amazing paradise! Thea and her family are not just hosts, when you stay here you truly become a member of the family. The food is just incredible. One day we went snorkeling to a lonely beach and they made us fresh fish directly at the beach. It was such an experience sitting underneath palm trees and eating with them. They truly have a good heart and if you want to experience the real Fiji (not the ones in resorts), visit Gold Coast. You will live in a small beach hut where you can watch the Sunrise lying in your bed. The hut also has a small bathroom and a cold shower (that doesn't feel cold). No electricity in the huts, but you get a solar light and you can charge your devices at anytime in the mainhouse. Those 2 days have been just amazing. Thank you so much for that!

    We had such a pleasant stay and loved living on a beach in a secluded island. It is a place to relax and disconnect. We were warmly welcomed by the family and started to feel like home pretty quickly. The facilities were simple as it is a homestay but comfortable, and Tia's prepared food was delicious. They offer a few activities, and we booked a visit to the Sawa-i-Lau caves, which was the funniest and the most beautiful cave visit I've ever experienced. We also stopped on the secluded picturesque beach and played coconut rugby with the family (kids were on the school holiday).

    Only thing to say is there is no electricity like lights at night in the room but they have portable lights. Besides that no complaints lovely stay!

    Amazing Homestay with lovely owners who were so friendly and went above and beyond with their hospitality. Great location with stunning beach front and fun coloured rooms! Couldn’t recommend enough. Also the kids were so polite and entertaining and made the stay so much more personable.

    Limited to no sell phone service and no wifi. Turned out to be very nice but can be challenging for some. No electricity in the rooms but provide charging opportunities in main house.

    Amazing accomoadation on the island. Falling asleep with the sea breeze and hearing the waves crashing was amazing. The food was reasonably priced and every meal was delicious. There are paid activities but also plenty of free island exploring you can do on your own.

    Nothing major; water pressure wasn't the best and there was no electricity in the dorm. But it's a homestay! So for the money, especially as a solo traveler, i was quite satisfied.

    Clean, quiet, and comfortable. Gold Coast had great food, cute dogs and quality people. Perfect place for a relaxing/recharging experience.

    If you book through booking.com, you need to reach out to them to confirm as well as they didn't know I was coming and therefore didn't send a boat to meet the Yasawa Flyer. In April, that side of the island was quite windy (too windy to lie on the beach), but it was an easy walk across to Blue Lagoon beach (just choose your days carefully - Blue Lagoon beach becomes a private beach on certain days of the week)

    Lovely family, bungalows were basic but very clean and had everything you needed. Didn't miss not having electricity to the bungalow, the solar light worked well and easy to charge devices in the main house. Family left you alone if that was what you wanted, or were happy to interact
