If you want to witness the most and authentic Tongan experience and live like a local look no further. The Latu family is the most lovely bunch of people you’ll ever meet. They open up their home for you and make you feel part of the family. Their kids are so adorable and happy all the time they bring a wonderful energy to the homestay. The highlight was when they cooked Umu for us guests it’s the traditional Tonga undeground oven they always prepare on Sunday and go to church with them. If you want the most authentic way to visit Tonga you should stay with them. You will not experience the same if you stay at a hotel and it’s good to support local families.

Tongan Homestay was my first homestay and one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. You really feel at home there. Lehape and Pale are always on hand to answer any questions and offer help. I was picked up from the airport free of charge, had something to eat every day and shown to a lovely, clean room. Their two children Tatiana and Lengi are absolutely adorable and are always happy to see anyone. We went to church together on Sunday and afterwards had a traditional lunch on the farm. For my whale snorkelling trip, I was driven to the harbour at 6.30 am and picked up again in the afternoon. If you’re looking for a friendly, open-minded, warm and energetic family who can give you an insight into the traditional Tongan way of life, then Tongan Homestay is the perfect choice for you. You’ll feel very well looked after here, especially if you’re travelling alone or as a couple. I would recommend it to everyone!

Response from Tongan Homestay

Mālō ‘aupito for your beautiful review! We are so deeply touched by your kind words. Hosting you at Tongan Homestay was an absolute pleasure, and we are thrilled that your very first homestay experience was such a memorable one. Pale, Tatiana, Lengi, and I loved welcoming you into our daily life, from sharing meals to going to church and visiting the farm together. Our goal is always to make solo travelers and couples feel completely safe, cared for, and part of our family from the moment we pick them up at the airport. It was our pleasure to make sure you made it to your whale snorkeling trip on time, too! Thank you for recommending us so highly to the world. You will always have a family and a home waiting for you here in Tonga. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again soon!
