Leleuvia - rustic charm that is great for the whole family.

What’s your favourite place in Fiji for a pie/coffee?

Too many to mention, but in Suva the ROC cafe, and Weta for coffee.

What’s one Fiji spot on the top of your bucket list?

Fulaga.

Lucky to have traveled to some of the most stunning islands.

While I have travelled through most of the Lau group, I’ve still not made it to Fulaga.

One day, I will. One day.

Fulaga, in the Lau group, is located South West of Suva, and is among the furthest of islands in the Lau group.
