BougainVilla Savusavu

What a fantastic place for a getaway. Cute miniature split-level house has everything you need - we cooked every night due to the distance from town and loved it. Extremely kind hosts picked us from the airport and even allowed us to stop for a supermarket shop on the way for ingredients. Location is just fantastic, right on the coast with access to a marine reserve with surprisingly good snorkeling (we saw a mature sea turtle on day 2). Kayaking every evening at sunset is something I'll never forget. Dogs on the property are lovely.

Views were exceptional revealing gorgeous sunsets . It is such a cosy cottage fully equipped, comfortable &clean.

Quiet ambience, perfect view over Savusavu-Bay, very friendly hosts !

The snorkelling to Split Rick and back, at a decent tide, was the best snorkelling from shore we have done, in terms of fish variety and coral - no big fish but a sea turtle. Even some bright soft coral in the split rock crevice. We did one local snorkel with Cousteau Resort next door and it offered no more than ‘from shore’ on the day. Didn’t get to snorkel Namena Marine park (weather not conducive) but tours are possible and Neelam, herself, provides services for free diving. Neelam and Toby were super generous in collecting us from airport, waiting while we shopped for provisions in town, and in providing fresh papaya, kitchen basics and muesli. We are at our 4th Fiji accommodation (at Coral Coast) and it only reinforces how special the Bougainvillas location is. Yes, the steep driveway (picture) and mezzanine steps won’t suit everyone. (I’ve got one bad knee and was fine for that small distance especially given the little steps for traction) The kitchen utensils were minimal but sufficient - could do with tongs, a bowl for salad and some container for leftovers. Didn’t miss a microwave, didn’t need aircon for our early October stay. Netflix was great too.

Lovely cute tiny home villa with an amazing outlook and sunset view. Hosts were lovely and very helpful with information. Great snorkelling just across the road. Easy to get a taxi into town

Well designed accommodation, perfect for a couple, stunning views right next to the sea with excellent reefs on your doorstep to explore. Neelam & Toby were fantastic hosts and gave us great recommendations for other outside things to do on top of their own services.
