Paradise in paradise
My wife and I rented this home for three weeks and absolutely loved it. The pictures can't do the view justice, as it is so sweeping it can't be reduced to two dimensions. The sunsets were stunning, the weather warm, and the atmosphere very inviting and relaxing. During our stay, we dove almost every day on the Rainbow Reef, some of the best diving in the world. We enjoyed the rest of the island too, and took a day trip to an adjacent island for church with the locals and a lunch feast, what an experience. We enjoyed massages by Tavui, they were awesome. We snorkeled on the reef right across the road from the house at the base of a private path to the beach which is excellent. We saw lots of fish, coral, and turtles. The inside of the house is nicely furnished, and very large. We took dips in the pool daily.
The best thing about the house is the service. The caretakers Pini and Isoa were always available but never intrusive. They provided daily maid service, and we even had a Fijian feast, a Lovo, that they cooked on an open fire in the traditional Fijian way. The house comes with a car that Isoa drives which enabled us to go to local markets and restaurants. We were able to buy quality food from the local markets and also from the property manager Bob Goddess who ordered us meats from the main island. Bob provided lots of information before our trip that was very helpful. We brought some spices, coffee, and some other items that are unavailable on the island. He also arranged our airline tickets, our diving, and massages with Tavui.
The people in Fiji are fantastic, warm and friendly, and always will to help. The house was perfect, and the diving world class, what more could we want.
This property is worth the trip, and a great value for a large group. Thanks to everyone who made our stay so wonderful.
USA IDAHO
We really enjoyed our stay here. THe island is Taveuni and if you want to know the real fijiian's this place is a must. This house by far had the most beautiful view!! You woke up everymoring in paradise. The house is nice. The caretaker Isoa is very kind and halps you with all your planning. The truck you get with your rental (Isoa drives) really is a great thing to have. He grounds are amazing!!!! Very,very beautiful. There is no air conditioning, no microwave and we would have liked a toaster. We had fans and everthing worked out okay. Isoa cut a big bunch of bananas and hung it out our back door. He brought limes and oranges that were picked right off of the property. THe Lavena coastal walk and falls, boauma falls and paradise resort is an absolute must!!! THere is a little restaurant at the bottom of our hill that is good. Isoa and his wife Pinni made a lovo for us, they have a daughter in boarding school and they do this for a fund raiser. It was the best meal on the island. We had massages 4 times the 10 days we were there and Maureen and Touvei were amazing. They became our friends and we would visit and tease. The pool is not real big but it is very refreshing and nice to have. We stayed here for 9 days. We even got a dog, steve too. He was alot of fun. The beach across the road from the house is by far the most beautiful beach on the island. Prince Charles Beach. We went over to Qomea Isand and spent the day with the chief Moses and his family. This is a must!!!!! It was our favorite thing. We were lucky it was Palm Sunday and the program for church was all about the children. They sang with the most harmonizing voices and were so amazing. Drink Kava and listen to the island boys and have a amazing trip.
