Perfect location
In addition to a perfect location, Helene and Peter (hosts) are wonderful caring people. Sorry we didn't have time to get to know them better.
This was the best stay of our 3-week trip!! The hosts were so helpful & communicative from the beginning stages of renting their gorgeous place. Then the welcome was genuine and warm, the continental breakfasts each morning were lovely, the house was super, and the view was stunning!! It was high bank water front but easy access onto a relatively private beach. It was just paradise!! We will return!

Beautiful stay in Matei Pointe
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.

Best spot on the Island
So nice, I stayed here twice. Right on the water. Wave sounds all night. Nice sea breezes. Hosts were attentive and so kind and good. Walk to the airport is maybe 1 1/2 minutes.
The views are great morning sunrise, and evening sunset. I will return. Hopefuly 100’s of times. This might be my favorite place on this earth.
