Matangi Island lake rentals

Stayed for 2 weeks and enjoyed exploring Taveuni. Lovely comfortable place to stay, beautiful property and amazing water, sunrise and sunset views. Small Bure, has covered deck where we had all our meals, and lots of relaxing. Loved the stone outdoor shower! Kitchen had what you need for simple cooking. Be prepared in Taveuni…when staying in a Bure or self contained accommodation bring some supplies with you…check what is allowed into Fiji. It can feel a little isolated until you get to know what is nearby, what you can access on foot, and how to get to the gorgeous waterfalls walks, coastline, mountains. Take reef shoes, mask and snorkel, was able to use a kayak from the property. Taxis and rental cars are expensive, but available by the day, driving is slow on dirt roads…but well worth the effort! Loved having local Fijian and Indian food cooked for us, fresh fish is just the best. Two stores a short walk away, gelato and fresh fruit caravans…take cash only. Hosts very helpful, can ask if you need anything.

We loved our stay in so many ways, it's hard to know where to start! Vale Sekoula is a spacious, very liveable house in a quiet location with a beautiful garden, lovely pool and amazing sea views - it would have been easy to spend our whole time there. The kitchen is well equipped and local stores, although small, have plenty of supplies for self-catering if that's what you want to do. The location also answered to our version of Tourism to a T - it's a very relaxed neighbourhood that is easy to wander about, meeting more locals than tourists, and you can opt in or out of tourist activities as much as you like. Vinaka vakalevu especially to Vinna and Robert for the warm welcome and being so helpful and kind during our stay. We are already discussing when we can come back!

A unique and beautiful spot right on the water in Fiji. With no end of exploration and discovery options offered in Taveuni from ocean sports off the front deck to hiking, horse riding, farms, villages, rainforests, waterfalls, it is a fantastic spot for a family holiday. Much more laid back and close to the natural Fiji than the Touristy and busy North Coast of Viti Levu and nearby islands. Ably assisted by the property caretaker and local host Loata, everything is effortless to organise. We have spent a lot of time in Taveuni in the past and it is one of our favourite parts of Fiji and we'll be back again.
