Guest Reviews
“A Life-Changing Experience”
“Staying with the Kauma family was the highlight of our trip to PNG. We didn’t feel like guests; we felt like family. Waking up to the sounds of the jungle, helping prepare meals, and sharing stories around the fire – these are memories we’ll cherish forever.”
– Emma & Mark, Australia • March 2023
“Authentic Cultural Immersion”
“As an anthropology student, I was looking for an authentic experience, and Nagu Home-Stay delivered beyond my expectations. Sarah and James are incredible hosts who generously share their culture and daily life. The food was amazing, and the connection was real.”
– Liam, Canada • January 2023
“Perfect for Solo Travelers”
“I traveled to PNG alone and was nervous, but from the moment I arrived, the Kauma family made me feel safe and welcome. They included me in everything – from church on Sunday to cooking lessons. I left with a new family and a deeper understanding of PNG culture.”
– Sophie, UK • November 2022

A Day in the Life of Our Family
🌅 Morning (6:30 AM – 9:00 AM)
Wake to the natural chorus of tropical birds. Join the family for morning tea on the veranda, then help with morning chores—perhaps feeding animals, collecting eggs, or harvesting fresh produce from the garden for breakfast.
☀️ Midday (9:00 AM – 2:00 PM)
Participate in family activities—maybe joining a weaving session, learning to prepare traditional dishes, or helping in the garden. Enjoy a shared lunch where stories and laughter are always on the menu.
🌄 Afternoon (2:00 PM – 5:00 PM)
This is often a quieter time. You might join children returning from school, take a nap, swim in a nearby stream, or simply sit and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of village life.
🌇 Evening (5:00 PM Onwards)
As the day cools, the family gathers to prepare the evening meal. Share stories of the day, learn about each other’s cultures, and enjoy the deep connection that comes from breaking bread together.
