In an attempted to see what a real bure may have been like, we traveled to the Coral Coast of Fiji to stay at a small place called Namuka Bay Lagoon.  Although the bures had running water and electricity for a few hours in the evening, the building were constructed as originally built and gave a great feeling for what it may have been like.

Definitely a place for the adventurous traveller since just getting there was only to be undertaken in the daylight without a guide.  We luckly have rented a four wheel SUV and set out at mid-day.
