This has been one of the best VRBO'S we have stayed in. The property is beautiful and clean, and I can't even express how much of a paradise that it is! The owners are amazing and very helpful with anything you need. You can hear the waves from the house and it is very soothing and having the pool right outside the door is a bonus.

This Savusavu Bay experience is beyond epic. Avi, Alex and fam are incredible hosts. The surrounding nature and community are also amazing. …and my week of quiet birthday celebrations included SUP/snorkle/kayak adventures in mangroves and clear blue waters in the company of wonderful people, vibrant corals, fish, birds, turtles, mongooses and bats. Also, learned how to make coconut milk, oil and lemongrass insect repellent… The drinking water is highly filtered rainwater (super delish/safe). Plus the private salt water pool, incredible garden, gorgeous ponds, sparkling stars, glowing sunsets, delish bday cake, thoughtful transportation coordination. Just. WOW… If you love nature, water, gorgeous beaches, freedom and ultimate relaxation - this is the place.

Private, secluded, paradise!

What an incredible property to escape EVERYTHING, and hear nothing but the waves of the ocean. This private oasis is a spectacular retreat for those seeking solitude. While it rained every day of our trip (early May), Avi was most gracious and even came to our rescue with medicine after I caught a brief cold. Would absolutely come back again!

Beautiful property (my spouse is a horticulturist and he called the grounds “eye candy”) . The people, true Fijian hospitality. The beach, kayaks, and walks as well as swims in the lovely pool.

Great time in paradise

Very beautiful well keep property. Alex and Avi are wonderful host and very helpful. This place is a ways a way from Savusavu, but it was nice to get away from busy life and just relax. We love hearing the waves of the ocean and the birds sing. There is also plenty of water activities such as snorkeling, coning and fishing. We would love to come back someday.

Fantastic Holiday

Alex and Avi were wonderful hosts, from allowing early check-in to offering trips into the Bay on their boat. I had plenty of space to read and relax in the guesthouse, with Savusavu’s main street an easy 20 minute taxi ride away (they have a driver they use who they can call on your behalf). I had free use of sea kayaks, and I paid Alex to take me on a snorkeling trip near a sand bar. I recommend booking here!

Peaceful and Beautiful

It doesn’t get more beautiful, private, and beach than this. We walked in the beach for sunset every day, used Alex’s kayak to paddle out and snorkel at the reef, and enjoyed cooking meals in the fully stocked kitchen. Alex and Avi are wonderful hosts. Responsive, welcoming, friendly. The cottage is beautifully designed and clean. The sound of the waves and birdsong was so relaxing. We highly recommend this beautiful spot!

Tropical getaway

Nice, fully self contained cottage set a few steps from the beach amongst tropical gardens and Lilly ponds. The area is peacefull, and we enjoyed having the sandy beach virtually to ourselves. We snorkelled down the eastern end amongst coral and fish. The hosts were friendly and welcoming; Alex is involved in coral restoration, and can take guests out to see this and to other outer reef snorkeling sites for a fee. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Spectacular Vacation in Fiji!!

We ABSOLUTELY loved our stay at this property. Alex and Avi were incredible hosts who made us feel like part of their family. Getting to know them, and their two sons, Ethan and Axel was fantastic. Alex was so accommodating and helped us with all of our needs. If quiet, relaxation, and privacy are what you are looking for, this is the place for you. The gardens are stunning, and the cottage is very comfortable, and stocked with everything you might need. Walking the beach was a highlight of each day. The sand was so soft and you will rarely see other people. The pool was great as well. The amenities of the property are exceptional. You can be as busy as you want to be, or rest and take it easy. Alex took us on a private snorkel tour that was absolutely amazing. It really was a day that is engraved on our souls. We hope to return one day soon!

We had a fantastic stay at the Beachfront cottage! The property is beautiful and the Host family were great to work with. They provided fresh bouquets of flowers and passion fruit in the cottage upon arrival. We slept about 150 ft from the ocean and could hear the peaceful beach sounds all night. There is about a 2 mile stretch of black sand beach and we didn't see another beach on the island that was nicer than the one we had right out our front door! We also did two different waterfall hikes and they were both within about 10 mins of the cottage. We had some trouble with our phone charging cables and we were able to borrow a wireless charger from our Host family until we could figure our problem. We loved the outdoor shower. We used the kayaks one day and paddled up and down the coast. We saw sea turtle pop his head up right in front of us. If you love the quiet, secluded, off the beaten path type of stay (we were about 20min from Savusavu), then this is the place for you!

Review

The property was very clean. Bed was large and very comfortable. Our hosts were great. We hate to be negative but.... Internet was intermittent at best, and we had a business to deal with. This was a daily frustration. We found the property very dark inside and as we read a lot this was a big negative for us. Not a sharp knife to be found which made cooking difficult. Our second week on Savu Savu at another equivalent place was less than half the price and better in many ways. There was no pool but many other extras including excellent internet and laundry and cleaning service available. So although lovely hosts not good value for money.

Hello Penelope, Thank you for your review. We are very surprised with your review. As you mentioned we were great hosts because everyday we would ask how things were and you always responded that everything was perfect. We cannot really do much with the Internet service as this was the only one that works at the cottage. We have tried with different Internet service providers. The Internet at the other place was better since it probably has better reception. It's common sense. We do provide cleaning service once a week and you stayed with us for only a week. If you were looking for everyday room service than you should have asked before you booked or rented a hotel room instead. We are just a self- contained cottage. If you had trouble finding a sharp knife than why didn't you ask us when you were here? The kitchen is full equipped and we never had guests complaining in the past. We do have laundry service available and all you had to do was ask. If the room was too dark why didn't you say so while you were here? We always try to accommodate guests if there was a problem and we always try to find a solution. Thanks, Avi and Alex

Peaceful location

Avi and Akex are great hosts and we enjoyed chatting with them and their lovely boys. We are divers and absolutely fell in love with nimena, natewa, and rainbow reef. We like to cook for ourselves AND HAVE A PEACEFUL Place to return. Tropical Splendor was really beautiful and the evening beach walks with hundreds of bats emerging to forage is splendid. We were unfortunate with the weather as it rained almost everyday except 3 of the 21 days we were there. The drive to diveboats was 30 mins to 1 hour... over really bad roads. For this reason divers be aware, you are not on location. In addition, the internet is terrible, so do not plan to work from vacation if you need internet. In addition, the dishwasher does not work. However the beauty, peacefulness, and responsiveness of avi and alex still earned my 5 stars overall. Be happy and relaxed in this beautiful place. Sit everywhere on the property and have a proper good time!!

A little slice of heaven

My husband and I stayed here for 15 days. Alex And avi were absolutely perfect host and a little bonus with their two boys. Everything that was stated on their website was there and more. The property was beautiful, well manicured, ponds and tropical flowers and trees. There’s also kayaks there available for the guests we took a vantage of them we went out, snorkeling and kayaking on the coast. We got massages in the Palapa by an amazing local lady. Alex took us out for a snorkeling trip on his boat to Sand Island. It was so much fun. Definitely recommend it. The pool was a wonderful feature to have. We enjoyed it in the afternoons almost daily. The beaches in front of the property are amazing. We walk them every morning and evening. Lots of shells. We did a dive trip with Alex and he videoed us and sent us a beautiful video of it. We really appreciated it so much. Thank you Rossi family for making us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back. We feel that we left with new friends.

Hidden Paradise

The property is as advertised and the reviews from other travellers accurate. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because of the directions provided. The Google Map link provided sent us to a location several km's away. The only way we were eventually able to find the correct location was to search for the Emaho Sekawa Retreat which fortunately we knew was nearby. I can only assume most other visitors arrive by taxi from Savusavu as local drivers will be familiar with the location. For those driving as we were, the access road has no signs except the words 'private road'. This info should be included in the directions, and advising the names of the villages on either side of the 'private road' would also be helpful. This accommodation best suits people staying for more than a few days and wanting to cook themselves. Using the restaurants in Savusavu daily is impractical due to the distance and huge potholes which are difficult to see at night. We loved the fresh air and multiple ceiling fans with the windows open at night but light sleepers used to quiet at night may find the noise of the sea a problem. Avi & Alex are excellent hosts and we enjoyed meeting them and particularly the charming Axel.

A little piece of paradise

This property is a pure gem. It was truly as the name suggests, -Tropical Splendour. It might best be described as rain forest meets beach.The property is lush with beautiful vegetation, sweet smelling flowers and a virtually private beach. Walks on the beach yielded only a very odd passerby. We mostly had it to ourselves .The cottage is SO uniquely decorated with Fijian art and artifacts. We felt totally immersed in the culture. Alex and Avi are wonderful hosts, offering help and information where required, while respecting privacy.The pool was amazing and we were in it morning, noon and night. We were able to view the Southern Cross while taking a nightly dip in the pool before bed.The bed was wonderful! Listening to the ocean crash the shore from its comfort, was zen like. It is very warm during the day, but we did not need the air conditioning at night, as temps cooled down beautifully. This allowed the beautiful sound of the ocean to lull us to sleep each night.The entire unit was well equipped. The kitchen housed all needed utensils, the furniture on the porch was comfortable and well enjoyed for afternoon naps.Sunsets on the beach are remarkable!We highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and fabulous travel experience. It is truly magnificent!
