We are snuggled away in a cozy little village call Vini. We promise to engage you in conversation on any topic that tickles your fancy. Love to share my culture with you. Let me know what you like to do and see and I'll direct or even take you there myself. Ask about Island Mana; I’m no guru but Consciousness is high on the list. Consider my humble abode your Samoan Culture Retreat. You'll be amazed at this little rock in the middle of nowhere. Visitors say it's Paradise, we simply call it Home. Happy travels and hope to cross paths soon, so I can help you experience my Samoa and trust me when I say it's ... a-whole-new-world.com

We appreciated Falefatu's hospitality & knowledge of the area & Samoan culture. We got on well with him & enjoyed the village. The amenities were basic.

We really enjoyed meeting and talking to Falefatu, a very interesting man with lots of experiences and story telling. However, we did feel the accommodation he offers is dirty and for some people could pose a health risk. The facilities are very old and in desperate need of radical modernisation. Falefatu is absolutely wonderful - the accommodation is not sadly.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
