BUNGALOWS
There are six timber bungalows set in tropical gardens. Four of these are on the beachfront of the lagoon. Two are set back a little, but there is still easy access to the beach.

All bungalows have:

• 1 double bed
• 1 double bunk
• Tea and coffee making facilities
• Fridge
• Private shower and toilet
• Easy chairs and coffee table
• Verandah

DUAL UNITS
The 2 new units share a common wall but are completely private in all other respects. Each unit has one open space room, a bathroom and separate toilet. In the large room is a sleeping area with either a king-sized bed or two singles depending if the requirement is for single, twin or double occupancy. Along one wall is a wet area including a sink, tea & coffee making facilities and a bench. There is also a luggage rack and a clothing storage space. Cane chairs and a small table complete these self contained airy units. The windows are louvers to allow maximum air flow and they are covered with Austrian blinds to provide privacy at night. An overhead fan is positioned to allow continuous airflow. The units are positioned on a raised area close to the beach (but not beach front) which affords an excellent view of the Marovo Lagoon. An outside shaded decking area provides another space for storage or living.

GUEST ROOMS (known as 7A & 7B)
7A/7B are 2 accommodation units sharing a common wall. 7A is as large as a bungalow, with ensuite shower & separate toilet. It has a spacious kitchenette area (refrigerator, sink, tea/coffee making facilities), a King Size bed and a deck out from the front door. It is not beachfront but has excellent views over the Marovo. Because it is on a slight rise it gets very good breezes & the cross ventilation makes it a cool room. It has an overhead fan. An extra bed can easily be put in this room.

7B is a smaller room with ensuite shower/toilet. Its entrance opens onto a deck but is private from 7A entrance. Currently has a double bed and a single bed. It has an overhead fan and also has good breezes and a beautiful view. It has a small tea/coffee area but no sink. There is a hand basin in the bathroom. This complex is perfect for a family, where the parents want some privacy but want to be near their children.

DIVING
Uepi has an established reputation for world class diving. All dive sites along the Uepi Island passage, barrier reef drop-offs and bays are intensive coral reef ecosystems. The diving is extraordinarily varied with many and differing reef structures and bioassemblages.

CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
Without a doubt one of the reasons for traveling to other countries is to experience the culture of the indigenous occupants. In this regard Uepi considers itself privileged to be able to offer trips to local villages. The Marovo people still predominantly rely on traditional housing, food sources, traveling, as well as a family and communal organization. This experience is offered to you by way of river trips, carving village tours and custom dancing.

RIVER TRIPS
Glide across the lagoon waters and then enjoy the dense tropical rainforest as you meander up the river to the crystal clear coolness of the swimming holes in one of the several New Georgia Rivers. Visit an adjacent village as you return. CARVING

VILLAGE TOURS
The carvers of the Marovo are renowned for their quality carvings. Most carvings are of custom subjects or reflect the natural history of the area. Examples are simple or exotic `spirit' wildlife carvings, traditional `Nuzu-Nuzu' war or peace sculptures. Materials include kerosene wood, shell-inlay, black coral, queen ebony and king ebony. By visiting the carvers at their villages you see them working in their environment. Some wonderful and unique purchases may be made.
