We have just spent a wonderful fortnight at Bobo's Farm near the village of Rukuruku, on Ovalau, Fiji. We are a family of four with two boys aged 9 and 7 on a gap year together and have just spent a fortnight with Bobo and Karin. This was the only place we had booked prior to leaving home 8 months...

We had an amazing time at Bobo's and Karin's. They really make you feel at home. We stayed there for 9 days. We came a day to late because of delayed flight but this was not a problem and didnt need to pay for that night. Bobo loves to entertain, inform you and show you around. If you want more... More

Bobo is quite a character, seeks to set you at ease. If you need a little more private space, simply let him know. He is gracious about it. I liked th Fijan food, the hammock on the terrace and the dips in the pool. The beach ist not fantastic, but ok.

We recently spent five nights at Bobo’s Farm, and despite our group of six ranging in age from eight months to seventy-one years we were beautifully cared for by Bobo and Karin. The meals prepared by Karin, Oona and Artetha from the nearby gardens, creek and sea were delicious and nutritious, and whilst trundling us on various adventures to the... More

Our few days with Bobo and Karin we the highlight of our couple of weeks in Fiji. In fact they were probably the highlight of all my travels so far. Ovalau is a little bit complicated to get to - the one ferry wasn't travelling on the day we were to set off (Wednesday) - but don't let that put... More

Bobo's Farm was by far one of the best places I hav ever stayed. We arrived and got shown to our little cottage at the end of the garden. The food was all organic freshly cooked local vegetables and fruits. Bobo and Karin are welcoming and helpful booking us boats and taxis when needed and taking the time to chat... More

We had a fantastic couple of days at Bobo's farm: a taste of the real Fiji and still so relaxing. Bobo and his German wife Karin are the prefect hosts - welcoming and friendly but also leaving you to relax and enjoy your own time when you want to. Bobo took us on two walks at our request, one down... More

Ok, let’s make this simple, if you want to go and find true Fijian hospitality, in a place unspoilt by tourism and the western world then Bobo’s is the place for you. Expect the simple life, no electricity (supposed to be coming soon, all in good Fiji time), water from the river (but drinking water is always available, free, from... More

A few friends of mine came back from a trip to Fiji and couldn't stop raving about Bobo's farm. I had been to Fiji before and thought I had seen it all, but I was wrong! After seeing the photos they took, then noticing the perfect reviews on here, I knew I had to check Bobo's out for myself. I... More

After a long journey from London to Fiji, we made finally made it to Suva to get the bus and ferry over to Ovalau. We had clocked up 28 hours of constant travel and were very tired. The moment we saw Bobo we knew all the effort had been worth it. I didn't realise human beings could smile so wide... More
