Absolute Beachfront Holiday Cottage with Private Saltwater Pool on Savusavu Bay

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. It has everything and more, in a tropical island paradise. Oh, and the most beautiful sunsets in the world!!!!!

Complete pleasure to stay at, fully self contained, Peace, comfort, private, and caring Hosts, will be back for sure

We were celebrating a very special occasion. We wanted a beautiful, unique, memorable vacation to celebrate it. We got one. Thank you Alex & Avi for making your beautiful cottage available to us, and for your hospitality. We simply can't say enough good things about our stay. Want the sound of the waves to lull you to sleep every night? You'll get it here. Want to sit on the huge roofed porch and watch a tropic storm go by? Check. Stargazing on the beach...you got it. It's gorgeous, very quiet, very private, and extremely relaxing. Town is a shortish taxi ride away when you need to go in, but you're in another world at the cottage. If you're looking for something other than the resort experience in Fiji, STAY HERE. You will not be disappointed. I would like to add that if you are at all into birds - even a casual interest - the area around the cottage is outstanding birdwatching. We saw a dozen or more species endemic to Fiji, including the orange dove!

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.

Spent 2 weeks here and had a lovely time. Avi and Alessandro are wonderful hosts and made sure we were never missing anything :) The grounds themselves are lovely; you can hear the surf from the cabin -- and the pool is especially nice!

The hosts were incredibly welcoming and very accomodating. The space was incredibly relaxing and had all the things you need for a perfect vacation! We loved every minute and would love to come back!

Nice and quiet place to relax , falling asleep with the sound of waves, waking up with the sound of birds. No air conditioning needed because of nice breeze, kitchen well equipped, nice and welcoming hosts, long walks on the beach without seeing anyone.Perfect stay.

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.

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!

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!

very much a tropical paradise!! Quiet, laid back vibe on the beach

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!

Alex and Avi were very responsive. On the beach, lots of walks, kayaks and snorkeling, visits to Savusavu.
