My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Hans' Place. The fresh tropical flowers at the cottage were a delight on arrival. The gardens also very beautiful with tropical color and lush green foliage. The Yaka was quiet, comfortable and just right for our stay. We enjoyed the stories and information of the place that Hans' shared with us.... More

We spent 8 weeks at Han's Place from June through August 2011. We enjoyed everything about our stay at Han's, from his greeting us at the airport to the fresh fruit, flowers and smoothies he provided to us for our stay in Fiji. Han's is a great source of information on Fiji. The Yaka house was exactly as advertised, clean,... More

We stayed for approx 2 weeks at Hans' place and found it an excellent base for exploring Vanua Levu. Savusavu town is only a short (and very cheap) taxi ride away, whilst beaches and fantastic snorkling at split rock is only a 10 mins walk away. Hans was very welcoming and extremely helpful throughout our stay, offering tips on the... More

When we started out, we thought 4 months would be a long time but now, 4 months later, we are not ready to leave. Hans' Place turned out to be the perfect place to stay during our Fiji visit. We came here to relax, rejuvenate and explore. Yaka House is quiet and peaceful - we spent many hours on the... More

This is the place to stay if you want quiet, peace and tranquility and (as in my case) safety from a cyclone. Hans is a fantastic guy who is more than willing to discuss politics - local and international, travel and life in general. As Cyclone Tomas hit he was also kind enough to let me stay a few days...
