Its run by an Indian couple Sanjay and Renna, although mainly by Renna. Renna is an amazing host and brilliant cook. The future plans are to open a restaurant and bar on the site which would be awesome. As it is Renna is more than happy to cook for you if you buy the ingredients or pay her, and amazingly for us she happy to teach you how to make curry and chutneys etc. The environment is very open and friendly there is generally nibbles or food and beer available to share most evenings, Renna and Sanjay live there so its a very homely and Renna is always on hand if you need anything.
The main downside is that they really do like to have a beer or twenty of an evening and although dinner is normally on offer its customary to drink until there is no drink left and then eat so if you've got a case of beer in you are in it for the long haul. Stuff fancied and little extra grub the other night (we had already had dinner) so joined in and ended up eating around midnight.
Renna showed us a wonderful recipe for lamb curry this included chopping the lamb with a large cleaver (all fingers have remained where they should be) and knocking mangoes out the tree in the garden with a large pole for the chutney (photos to follow).
We would recommend this hostel whole heatedly. It is located equal distance (about 5-10min walk) from Nadi beach and the main road that houses the supermarket, restaurants and bars and an internet cafe. If you are staying in Nadi bay there is no better value for money although if you just want a pool and bar and your food cooked for you then see the next blog for recommendations.
