Thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the remarkable Teitei family. Even after reading that other guests had similar experiences to mine, I still felt that my visit was unique, authentic, and... read more custom tailored for me.

If you have any interest in sustainable farming, coral reef restoration, community development, Fijian culture, great food and engaging conversation, book a few days at Teitei.

  If you have come across this place, count yourself so lucky 🙂
The whole community were so welcoming.
The environment is beautiful beyond belief with the most stunning sunrise... read more and luscious greenery.
The work they are doing is inspiring, and the knowledge they are willing to share is invaluable.
The farm tour will forever be one of our travel highlights.
The food is next level.
Also .... there is hot water in the shower! The room is basic and yes there are bugs and frogs, but you are in rural Fiji! The bed is perfect to rest your head and a beautiful deck to soak in the views.

  Cannot thank Akka and family enough for a wonderful stay. The room was basic but comfortable and the large, private porch over looking the forest was great. I spent a... read more lot of time in the communal areas getting to know the family and enjoying delicious food. The farm tour with Junior was fantastic. Meeting Kiki and Keanu was wonderful and I really enjoyed spending time with them. The location is a little far from the beach and other attractions, so I combined this stay with homestays in other locations to have a variety of experiences.

  I have thought so much about this review. And here it goes. The Teitei Family has to be one of the best places to experience the real fijian history... read more and way of life. They are full of knowledge about everything.

Ashmita is the main cook. She makes the best eggs my husband and I have ever had in our life! Seriously!
The Teitei Family's little one is probably the best mannered 7 year old we have met as well. He is a great chef as well! Ask him about his bug collection. He is such a smart and interesting person. There is never a dull moment on the farm.

Ask to be involved! We asked and we received. Getting involved with the village has been such a highlight of our visit. Getting to know how they live off the land and just the day to day life is so interesting and makes you feel like its your home as well.

Everything is so relaxing, you can hang out in your room if you want. You can walk the farm and have Jr. Tell you all about the trees,plants, and animals they have. I highly recommend doing this. There is no air conditioning but you dont care since everyone is always so happy! Everything is sparkling clean, simple, and just the way you want to experience and immerse yourself.

I recommend this homestead a million trillion times over. You will have the best time getting to know great people and wonderful land. Please vist and experience real Fiji you will not regret it!

Vinaka to the Teitei Farm!

  So much to see about the Teitei Farm and family. To start with we were sick coming from the other side of the island and they offered to let us... read more stay using our reservation with their family homestay near where we were in Suva. The family was so friendly, took care of us and we felt like home especially with KIki (6 yr old child /grandchild) to play with my son.

Once we got to the farm it was just as I needed - a place that feels like home, great people (who are now like family), amazing food, great activities and learning about culture and farming / permaculture there which was great for my little guy and me.

I can’t say enough as it was just what we were looking for and are headed back soon to stay with them longer.

  The place is wonderful! We have great times there. The host Kim and her family are superb and kind! All the food taste good and the farm... read more tour is amazing and fun! Their way of living is inspiring and does contribute a lot to the land and people. Thanks for hosting us! It’s perfect for our honeymoon!

  This AirBnB is a lovely, special place and offers a really unique perspective of Fiji. Kim and Austin have lived in Fiji for two decades and they know so much... read more about the area and showed me around to some cool places. The farm is really wonderful as well. The views are beautiful and there's lots of fun activities around the property. The whole vibe of the AirBnB is community oriented. I spent a lot of time with the hosts and other visitors and had a lot of fun. I'm hoping to return in the future!

  I stayed at the farm during the first part of my Fiji trip and absolutely loved my experience here! I learned about Fijian culture, food, sustainable farming practices, and got... read more to visit a few local sites around Sigatoka. The guest room has the basic essentials, and I didn’t mind taking a warm shower with a kettle and bucket. There is a variety is animals that you will see and hear including chickens, toads, and cicadas. I felt super welcomed by the family, and the food was amazing! Kim was very responsive and checked in with me to make sure I was comfortable.

  Our stay at the Teitei farm was one of the highlights of our trip. The family made us feel really welcome and we spent lots of time chatting over mealtimes.... read more The food was excellent (especially the banana pancakes, thanks Akka!). It was wonderful enjoying a taste of Fijian rural life, especially the farm tour from Junior. The accommodation is basic but was everything we needed and better than expected. Chilling on the porch listening to the birds was particularly lovely. Special thanks to Kim and Kiki who were always there to great us with warm smiles. We wish we could come back!

  This stay was so much more than I expected. The description is accurate. This is a farm on a tropical island. So expect to see chickens, roosters, frogs and lizards.... read more The accommodations are private and comfortable. But what made this stay so memorable for me was the hospitality. The food was beyond scrumptious and plentiful. Kim made sure to cater to all my needs. Her cook Ashmita belongs in a 5 star restaurant.

But beyond my stay I wanted to experience true Fiji culture. And Kim made sure I did. From participating in the farm family’s own traditions, Kim also brought me to an Indian family to participate in a Hindu Ramayana celebration. And she threw in a trip to the beach too.

If you want to really experience Fiji and all the friendliness and hospitality that comes with it, than this is the place to be. If you require posh hotels and all inclusives...then this is not the place for you. But why come all the way to Fiji to do that anyway?

  I had an amazing stay at the farm...the family there made me feel so at home and welcome. If you are looking for a getaway off the beaten path, this... read more place is for you! I loved getting to walk around the farm, see the animals, and talk with the family. If you have issues with bugs, geckos, and frogs, I wouldn’t suggest it 🙂
It is farm living after all!
The food was great and the company even better! I cannot wait to come back and bring my family. Thank you, Teitei Permaculture Farm!

  Game changer on my view on Fiji Islands.
I learned about climate change affecting coral bleaching and the work of Austin to safe the Riffs.
