Charlie’s Place Fiji offers just two budget cottages overlooking the beachfront of Nananu-i-Ra Island with pretty views across the bay to the north coast of Viti Levu. With a pretty protected beach with decent swimming and snorkelling from the pier, and an long sweeping white sand beach over the hill for with great winds for both windsurfing and kite-surfing (bring own gear), Charlie’s makes an affordable beach holiday away from the main tourist centres.
