If you are interested in experiencing a closer relationship with Fijian people and their culture, this is the place for you. It is wonderful to be welcomed into a living culture! I deeply loved my experience at Oarsman. The staff becomes family, they go above and beyond to make your experience enjoyable. It is quiet, simple and I loved the... More

By a fluke, my sis & I went to Oarsmans for our whole 8 day stay in Fiji. Many back packers ended their Yasawa Islands tour there & only wished they had spent MOST of their time there! LOVELY long beach, clean establishment, tasty food {too much starch for me so bring green drink}, swimming at all tides, quiet &... More

One of the best beaches I haver been to..and you can snorkel here both in low or high tide (unusual for Fiji). The food was really good and our bungalow was just few steps from the incredible cristalline blue sea. We stayed there for 3 days, but next time we'll go directly there and stay more. Me and my kids... More

Oarsman's Bay Lodge is very relaxing and the beach is superior. My wife and I stayed four nights in one of the "beachfront Bures." They are less than 4 star. They need some repair and maintenance. Lots of little things. The grounds are tidy, but again little things are distracting. There were no annoying insects. The staff are outstanding. They... More

What a great way to end our trip in Australia and NZ. Such great service and what a beautiful place to wake up! We had 5 days and we enjoyed everyone of them. When you move in, you also move in to this big great family, where everybody is welcome.

Oarsman’s Bay is locally owned and I stayed here for a week and a half and experienced full Fijian family style hospitality. This is the ideal place to simply lay on the beach and relax. There are however also a variety of activities on offer if you want to hike at sunrise, visit the village and hear the sweet voices... More

Oarsman’s Bay is an amazing piece of Fijian paradise. I have recently returned from my third trip there and am already planning for my next. My husband and I first went to Fiji in 2010 looking for the perfect place to get married. For us perfect entails all the usual beautiful beach, great snorkelling etc, but most important for us...

We spent 4 nights at Oarsman's Bay Lodge during our recent Fiji holiday. We stayed there previously in 2005 and enjoyed it so much we had to include it in our 2012 holiday itinerary as well. Fantastic beaches, great snorkelling on the reefs just off the beach, comfortable bures and very friendly staff.

We visited this resort in Sept 2012. Oarsmans Bay Lodge is under new management. Joe, Chief Ratu Epeli's brother, has returned from working with Blue Lagoon Cruises to run Oarsmans and this place is just getting better and better. Since we were last here, Oarsmans has 2 new chefs and the bures are being updated. This resort is on the... More
