Top choice in Ovalau & the Lomaiviti Group
Bobo’s Farm is a clean, tranquil, solar-powered, two-room timber cottage 15 minutes from Rukuruku, all on an organic farm carved out of the thick rainforest by personable hosts Bobo and Karin. There’s a shared living room and tiny kitchen, so you can self-cater if you wish, but the organic, homemade meals here are excellent (breakfast $13, lunch $15, dinner $20).
Rukuruku is closer to the ferry station at Buresala than Levuka, so when booking ask in advance to arrange a transfer if needed.
