Koro Island is Fiji's 6th largest island, where Fijians live a communal lifestyle in 14 villages. The island population is 3,500. Fiji's total population is about 800,000, spread over half of its 322 islands.
Koro Seaview Estates is a rural, beautiful residential development with owners form all over the world who like a laid-back island lifestyle. There are two small resorts and several village shops. Homes are solar powered and use water catchment for supply. Ferries, planes and boats service the island.
Fijians are among the friendliest people in the world and are happy for people from other countries to move or vacation here. Fiji has been rated "most friendly country" by Conde Nast Traveler. Koro villagers greet you with a wave and a big smile. They treat everyone like royalty. Most speak English.
Media reports to the contrary, Fiji is a very safe and hospitable place to live - safer than most countries and safer than cities in developed countries. We often leave our doors unlocked.
Villagers can provide gardening, brush cutting (weed eating), and house cleaning services for $12-15 US/day as needed. Numerous opportunities exist to experience the local culture, including rugby matches, visits with villagers, learning how to weave mats, and meke (traditional dance) performances. Village shops sell staples such as rice, flour, potatoes, detergent, and canned fish. Other goods can be brought over by ferry.
Koro Beach Resort, less than a mile from the house, offers bungalows and seaside dining, dive and fishing trips, and kayaks for a trip to Sand Island and nearby reefs. Diving and fishing off Koro is rated as world class. Other homes are also available to rent.
A government center located on the other side of the island includes a post office, high school, and small hospital.
The house is situated in a 500-acre area where 30 houses have been constructed and about 15 Westerners live full time. Others come and go for vacations, usually just a few families at a time. The area backs up to Native Trust land. Most of the 500 acres will not be built on. There are no immediate neighbors, but several within half a mile. All roads are dirt roads with concrete strips for curves and hills. There are no street signs, electric or phone lines, stop signs, or traffic signals.
The natural setting is magnificent; stargazing is excellent. Flora and fauna include red-breasted musk parrots, red-collared lorries, multi-colored fruit doves, and dozens of other tropical birds, nestled in a rain forest of old-growth trees. The rain forest in Fiji is gentle, no poisonous insects or snakes, which allows for hiking through the "bush" safely. The air, which travels over thousands of miles of Pacific Ocean, is incredibly pure. The island is quiet and peaceful - a true paradise.
