Taveuni Island East Holidays from NZ$1,376

We had a lovely stay here. We were lucky enough to have the resort when there were only 1 or 2 other guests so felt like our own private island. The room was clean and tidy - hot water was not initially working but the staff quickly sorted it. The food was excellent - large plates of food, large pizza was good size for sharing, breakfast was cereal, toast, fresh fruits and usually 2 or 3 options of freshly baked things such as scones, pancakes, fried bread etc. The staff were lovely, friendly and so so helpful. The pool was clean and refreshing and pool loungers were great. Beach was nice, coral reef with a range of colorful fish living in it however visibility wasn't super clear due to location but still very fun to have a snorkel in. Resort had snorkel and fins but no masks to use. We brought our own gear so was not an issue. We kayaked the whole island - cool experience. We went at high tide so we could kayak over all the reef areas very clear water out the back- note alot of the kayaks have holes in the hull due to past guests dragging them over coral. Pays to check the hull to ensure no holes before you take them out. Rubbish from mainland sadly washes up on this pretty island so there is rubbish further along the beaches and in the mangroves. The staff keep the beaches clean in front of the villas, didn't affect us but was sad to see how the some of people living on the mainland treat their country. Overall a nice peaceful stay with easy access to mainland.

What a fantastic resort. Wonderful food, accommodation , and location. We can’t wait to come back!

We booked 2 glamping villas, one for us and the other for our 17 & 22 year old sons. From the moment we were picked up by the red boat, we were made to feel so welcome with everyone we met giving us a huge genuine grin and a “Bula”. The people, the food, the pool, the snorkelling and the glamping villas were all awesome. Simi makes the best lemon, lime & bitters at the bar. The glamping villas were next level with all of the amenities of a hotel room while also feeling like you were camping on the beach. We’re already planning a return trip next year. Highly recommend!

Stunningly beautiful island! Fabulous that it is owned and run by Fijians. Bure’s were well scattered around the small Island, cleverly facing towards the sea giving the illusion of privacy. The construction of them however could do with a little more thought and insulation as the ‘duplex’ ones you can hear your neighbour whisper. Despite the year-round prevalence of mosquitoes there was zero insect netting on any door or window. The windows comprised of wooden louvres with gaps as big as several cm in places. Much repellent was utilised. Food was basic but delicious, not an enormous variety. The islands main supply boat capsized a few weeks or so before we arrived, getting adequate produce and other goods out to the island was restricted to a boat 1/4 the size of the original. There was a small amount of watercraft available for use- first in first served. Several kayaks/ stand up paddle boards and a catamaran sailboat. Some snorkeling equipment and they helped me get in touch with a dive company that picked me up from the beach. There is a turtle sanctuary on the island where they raise the babies from hatching and release them into the ocean at a year old when they are much more capable of survival. Such a beautiful learning institution. There is also a couple of crested iguanas in an aviary where you can feed them. Definitely recommend as part of island hopping or a day trip.
