This unique vacation rental has the charm of a Fijian homestay but the privacy and peacefulness of a rustic modern bure. The kitchen is well equipped for inside cooking and a grill and lovo pit were available to us for cooking outdoors. Our hosts Karl and Frances, retired from life and careers in the city, are the resident owners of this large family estate. Our hosts were readily available by phone or by flagging down Karl as he went about his daily chores of keeping track of the sheep, cattle and resident farm hands. We were provided with all the fresh coconuts and papayas we wanted for our entire stay! Our hosts picked us up and dropped us off at the airport and invited us to accompany them for shopping trips to Savusavu town. Karl grew up on this estate so was a great tour guide on these trips. Also, with a reloadable local bus fare card you can hop a bus running hourly up and down the Hibiscus Hwy most of the day. Empty taxis northbound back to Savusavu will give you a lift for the $3 FJD bus fare. A highlight of our trip was diving at the Namena Island marine preserve with Koro Sun Dive based on nearby Savasi Island. Snorkeling is good on the reef out front (easiest at high tide) and kayaks are available for exploring the reef and shoreline. A large open lawn area fronts the estate shoreline with easy access to the water through passages in the mangroves or the adjacent sandy beach. Good internet streaming with Starlink (bring a laptop or tablet), AC, full size fridge/freezer and good well water. There is also a water dispenser with chilled bottled purified drinking water. Options for washing clothes are either the laundry sink on the back porch (no washing machine) or the hosts can provide laundry and housekeeping services as needed. If you are looking for a peaceful rural holiday and especially if you like to prepare your own meals with fresh local ingredients, you will enjoy this Fijian vacation home!

The property was next to the Salt Water lake. It’s close to the AirPort and to SavuSavu town. Very convenient and low profile.

The view was fantastic of the grounds and the ocean. It sits on a very lush, green property. The room is very large, has a great couch, kitchenette and table with chairs. The bathroom is a nice size too.

I loved everything about the place. Beach was 50 meters away. Great food. Decent Internet access. Friendly staff. Price was perfect. The fan was enough for me (no AC). Pictures provided are exactly what is there.

We were fortunate to have gotten the Lighthouse. A quirky but wonderful room. Great breakfast and meal offerings with good variety for all guests.

Everything, the food, the people, the ambience, the hospitality. One of the best places I have stayed and I have stayed in a lot of places. This place takes hospitality to another level. The welcome- they sing for you then you get a welcome drink, a foot massage a first day welcome cocktail in the evening. The day before your Check-out you eat in cave, with sunset and everything so beautiful. When you leave they sing a good bye song for you. I liked that most vegetables you eat are fresh and straight from the garden. They grow their own vegetables and herbs, garden to table. The garden manager is a great person as well. Special thank you to the following people: Ma, Mila, Bill, Eddie, Mita, Roberta, Isaac, Riccoh, Koto, Mela, Goto, the Chef and everyone who made my stay there a beautiful experience. Everyone in the background who is doing the work and I never met them. Thank you for the true Fijian welcome. I love Fiji 🇫🇯
