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

Everything was excellent and exceeded all my expetations. The whole resort feels like a big family and you feel very welcomed after you step your feets on the island. I traveled myself and it did not feel like it thanks to amazing people at the resort. The room, the food, the activities and everything else was perfect. Everything around the resort is very organized. I received a lot of help and support with my bookings before and after arrival.

I loved everything about this place. Staff the most! They are so nice, warm and welcoming that u instantly feel beloging. The reef is stunning and u should spend every free time to snorkle or dive but deffinitelly my favorite thing about my stay was planting corals with Gabby. Also this guys plays vollyball like pros...just wooow...

Extremely polite staff, perfect location, top food (set menu mostly), vegetarian, gluten and lactose free options, a Japanese restaurant next to their main restaurant, nice and clean rooms, pool and superb beach. I would definitely suggest it!

The snorkeling here is perfect. The staffs here are very friendly and helpful. The food here is delicious. I love the coral and the fishes here. You can also see the whitetip sharks. I enjoy the stay here.

Perfect place to relax. Service and staff were perfect, the bure is just in front of the beach and the atmosphere is very chill. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Very friendly staff! The housereef is amazing! One of the best snorkelling i have ever done. The diving with the inhouse dive shop is great as well.

Amazing staff, big bures, super comfy beds, great food, lots of activities, loved the private beach picnics... everything was perfect
