(Early January 2025) Spent the week over new years at this property and it was fantastic. Our luggage didn't make it until day 3 and the staff was more than accommodating. They grabbed some quick bare essentials while we relaxed on our first day. The next day we went into town to get a few more items to hold us over. (It was a great "don't worry about it we've got you taken care of experience")
Breakfast and lunch were ordered from a standard menu and were served with a full table spread (flowers, decorations, table cloth, cloth napkins) that were rotated and I don't believe were ever repeated the entire week we were there. Dinner was a 5 course meal curated by the chef but was fully customizable to your preference. Each of these meals could be eaten at various "dining spots" on the property but we mostly stuck to the dining area just outside the living room. It had a great view, easy for the staff, enough space, and an overhead fan to keep the heat (and sometimes bugs) at bay.
Excursions we're great! Apart from the ability to kayak, SUP, and snorkel right from the property it was fantastic to hike and walk the various waterfalls, blowhole, villages and other sides of the island. Bouna Falls were gorgeous but hiking to the 2nd and 3rd falls is medium to hard difficulty (also prepare to have wet shoes). Lavena Coastal walk is about a 5k one way and at times is medium difficulty (also likely to have wet shoes). Also most of the island doesn't have paved roads and can be very rugged. The drivers are fantastic but you can't avoid all bumps. Definitely get the "Go Fijian for a Day" ... It is a fantastic peak into the Fijian culture and a wonderful experience.
The house is two levels with two rooms (air conditioned) and a loft (air conditioned but open and gets pretty warm). The loft has a TV with streaming capabilities but no "channels".
Lastly the arrival and farewell done by the staff truly made this a fantastic and personalized experience.
This was hands down our most favorite place in the world. We traveled for a get away from a busy sports filled life and this was it. The grounds were superb, the staff warm and loving and the view and the food superb. Our kids all cried headed to the airport as they loved their magical stay here. Will work hard to come back soon ❤️
