Nanumi Au Eco Village

15/06/2026

Over the weekend, we had the opportunity to set up a mushroom garden plot for Nanumi Au Eco Village.

Nanumi Au Eco Village holds a special place in our journey, as it was the venue where we conducted our very first community mushroom cultivation training last year. We are incredibly grateful to the owners for their continued confidence in us—trusting us to supply their mushroom substrates and assist in establishing their second mushroom garden plot.

This mushroom plot forms part of a larger vegetable garden initiative aimed at producing fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms for guests staying at the eco village. It’s inspiring to see sustainable food production becoming an integral part of the visitor experience.

Having stayed at Nanumi Au Eco Village ourselves, we can honestly say it has been one of our most memorable family getaways. The peaceful surroundings, beautiful environment, and commitment to sustainability make it a truly unique destination.

If you’re looking for a place to relax, reconnect with nature, or host your family, friends, or corporate team, we highly recommend Nanumi Au Eco Village.

Thank you, Nanumi Au Eco Village, for your trust and partnership. We look forward to seeing this mushroom garden flourish! 🍄💚

Island Glamping kicked off this weekend - and what a crowd! 🙌🏾

Our biggest booking to date saw 7 families, 12 adults and 15 children take over the village for three days of island adventures.

We knew it had been a successful weekend when we overheard one of the mums at checkout say:

“We’re going to have to hose the kids down before we get in the car!” 😜

Three days of free-ranging children running, jumping, climbing trees, building fires, walking dogs, exploring the village, and collecting plenty of mud along the way.

Alongside all that fun, families shared home-cooked Fijian meals, experienced traditional singing and dancing, and enjoyed the world-renowned warmth of Fijian hospitality. ❤️

When we first started Nanumi Au, one of our biggest dreams was to create a place where families could slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience village life together.

This weekend felt like that dream coming to life. ✨

Our hearts are full seeing so many big smiles, tired eyes, and muddy little hands and feet heading home. 👣😍

Here’s to more childhood memories made outdoors.

If you’re looking for a place where kids can be kids, and families can slow down long enough to reconnect with nature, we’d love to welcome you to our little corner of Fiji. 🩵

Community-led tourism isn’t just about who benefits from tourism.

It’s about who builds it, who shapes it, and who creates the experience together.🫶🏽

Yesterday, that looked like grandfathers, fathers and uncles calling out instructions as ropes were pulled, poles were raised, and a group of village boys proudly helped set up our VAIVAI tent…all in time for our first glampers of Glamping Season 2026. ✨

The best part?

Watching them sit together afterwards with juice and biscuits, admiring something they had helped create. 🍪 🧃

Because long before guests arrive, tourism here is already creating moments of connection, learning, pride and belonging. 💫

Vinaha vakhalevu boys!🩵

If you’re looking for a Fiji experience built with community, we’d love to welcome you to Nanumi Au.

When Parliament comes to the village… 👀
👉🏾Watch until the end to hear Hon. Premila Kumar’s thoughts on the progress being made in Rakiraki.

Last night we had the privilege of hosting the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Economic Affairs as they met with tourism stakeholders in Rakiraki.

The evening began with a traditional sevusevu and evolved into an open talanoa about the opportunities and challenges facing tourism in our region.

For us, one of the most encouraging moments came right at the end.

Hearing Deputy Chairperson Hon. Premila Kumar acknowledge the progress being made and suggest that these are the stories that should be shared more widely was a powerful reminder that community-led tourism matters.

Nanumi Au was built on a simple belief: that tourism can strengthen culture, create livelihoods, protect the environment, and benefit the communities that call these places home. 💚

We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the conversation and share the journey of Rakiraki’s growing tourism sector. 🙏🏾

Imagine being so connected to nature that the first thing you do after waking up isn’t reach for a screen.

You grab your ukalele.

Still barefoot. Still sleepy.

You wander outside to a fireplace carrying the scent of last night’s bonfire and start playing as the village slowly wakes around you.

No lessons.
No schedule.
No audience.

Just music, nature, and the freedom to be a kid.

Sometimes the richest childhood experiences aren’t found in what we give our children, but in what we give them space to discover for themselves. 🌿🎶

Sometimes all you need is a local to show you their backyard.

At Nanumi Au, that means beginning with a traditional sevusevu at Narara Village before hiking with our friends through the stunning highlands of Ra to hidden waterfalls, natural waterslides, and swimming holes that generations of local families have grown up enjoying.

When you stay with locals, you don’t just visit Fiji.

You experience the places we know, the stories we share, and the landscapes we call home. 🌿💧

🎶 You asked. We listened. 🎶

Over the past few weeks, we’ve had quite a few messages asking about the song featured in our stories and reels.

Well… it’s finally here. 🌺 “Catch the VAIB” 💃🏽 🕺🏾

Born from our love of Fiji, village life, culture, connection, and the spirit of the vanua, this song captures the feeling we hope every guest takes home with them after spending time at Nanumi Au.

Because sometimes it’s hard to explain what makes a place special.

You just have to catch the VAIB. ✨

🎥 Listen now on YouTube:

Drop a 🌺 in the comments if you’ve already been singing along from our reels!

People often come to Nanumi Au looking for nature.🌿
The gardens. The mangroves. The camping. The horses. The village life.

But what stays with them isn’t always what they expected.

A fortnight ago, Ariyan and Isha planted passionfruit before heading home after camping with us over the long weekend. Something that will keep growing long after they left. 🌱

There were cuddles with Marbles the cat, adventures shared between children, meals around the table, stories exchanged, and a goodbye that brought a few tears.🥹

Because the most meaningful part of travel isn’t always the places we visit. It’s the connections we make along the way. 💚

At Nanumi Au, we hope guests leave with more than photos. We hope they leave feeling connected …to nature… to culture… to community… and to each other. ✨

Vinaka vakalevu for spending your long weekend with us. We’ll be watching those passionfruit vines grow and thinking of you. ❤️

After four boys… our baby girl finally arrived 🐷 🎀

Meet Lewa (aka Tigress) the tiniest of Sweety’s new piglets and officially the newest member of the household.🫶🏽

She was struggling in the pen, so for now she’s living the luxury life indoors:
🍼 bottle feeds
🛏 warm blankets
👦🏽 constant cuddles from the brothers
👨🏽‍🌾 24/7 supervision from Koli

The boys are completely obsessed already 😂

One thing we love about raising our kids here at Nanumi Au is how connected they are to life around them: the land, the animals, the responsibility, and the care that comes with it. 🥰

Anyway… welcome to the family, Lewa 💝

For almost 10 years, our little sugarcane farm road connecting us to the village and main road has been part of our story. 🛣️

A story of guests getting bogged after sudden tropical rain. (Swipe through photos to the end) 👀 🫣
Of sometimes nail-biting drives through mud during wet season.😅
Of parking at our family home in the village and transferring guests in by truck when the road became impossible.

Today, the Fiji Roads Authority began fixing it… and honestly, it feels bigger than just roadworks.🥹

Because almost a decade ago, this was simply 4 acres of sugarcane farmland beside the mangroves and a vision for what community-led tourism in Fiji could become.🌿

Since then, every challenge has shaped us. And in a changing climate, resilient infrastructure matters deeply for rural communities like ours. Better access means more opportunity, more resilience, and more ability for tourism to directly benefit local families here in our village. ☀️

We don’t take this investment lightly. We see it as recognition of the potential not just of Nanumi Au, but of our wider community.

A new road, new possibilities … and we’d love to share the journey with you 🌿
