Nadi hotel help
 

Hi, asking for any guidance, would be very appreciated. Hoping someone can pls provide some advice. We are a family of 4 visiting Fiji in December (kids are 10 and 8). Plan to do a few nights at Castaway Island to relax and veg out, and then head to Nadi to experience some of the sights on the main land (traditional villages, waterfalls, buggy rides, Sleeping Giant, Eco park etc). We are trying to find a nice comfortable stay that is ideally not hours away from getting to experience the main land, and some of these sites. We love feeling the beat of the city/country, so are not married to staying in only a resort area. We were originally thinking of staying in Natadola Bay, but is that close to local restaurants and getting around? We don't want to feel pinned down to the resort only for lunches and dinner, and would like some options that allow for easy day trips. Many thanks in advance.
