Hi Guys
Safari Lodge rates have always been in AUD, since 1991 when we started. Fiji currency devaluation only made things 35% more expensive to buy locally, and we did not pass on any increases to our customers in 2009.
Our rates again in 2010 are in AUD, however a BEER is still $4 FJD or about $2.35 AUD - you may wish to tell me where you can buy a beer in Aussie for that!
The weekly rates are inclusive Airport back to Airport....
Dale (Formula Nova) knows that, you booked and visited us in Fiji in 2003....you paid AUD then!

Hi Warren, how are you going?
You are right; I have been to Fiji, but I went with your competition at the time - 'Go Windsurfing'. Do you remember Simon Cunningham? We stayed next door at the Morrissons. You guys were still working on your accommodation back then I think. I didn't stay with you guys, so I don't know what you were charging back then, or what currency it was in.
That was in 2004 and again in 2005 (edit: definitely 2004 and 2005). I haven't stayed at Safari Lodge myself, but I hope to make it there one day. It will be good to see the place finished, as it was still underway when I was there.
I think in total I did about a season and a half at your Port Stephens trips back in 2002/2003, but other than that, I haven't been to one of your trips, here or in Fiji.
In my post in this thread I was referring to another poster that said that with the stronger AUD it was cheaper to stay at Safari Lodge. I was just pointing out that if you charge in AUD, then there is no way it can be any cheaper.
I don't think anyone cares what currency you charge in, but it was good for Tony to point me to the charges for the fortnight. It sounds like it will be a good couple of weeks.
