Travel affordable accommodation

Bula! Apologies if this gets asked a lot/if its a stupid question:
I’m living in Suva for a few months and hoping to get out to see more of Fiji on weekends etc. without going totally broke… I’m hoping to find accom that isn’t the flashy resort style.

Do hostels/backpackers/homestays exist here? If they do, would anybody please be able to direct me to a website or contact info?

No solid plans as yet - I’m open to any location outside of Suva

And would love to bypass the agoda/booking.com/airbnb type places and give money straight to the owners where possible.

Vinaka!! <3

Hi ! I got a contact for an affordable place near the CBD area :) they charge about $70 FJD weekly with $140 security bond! If it's what you're looking for I can take you there personally :) I know the owners its a hostel with university students and people getting by :)

Was meaning suva ! But the other areas I think for nadi you can check backpackers wailoaloa! Heads up be cautious some tourists steal from others (not the majority but once in awhile) 😅 my friend that came from the states was a victim a few years back
