The property is so beautiful! And the staff working there were all so kind and lovely. The location was convenient and when I needed anything the staff were quick to help.

Walking in to Lomani was truly a "WOW" moment and you instantly fall in love. Lomani has the most incredible view up on the hill of the Somosomo Straight right from it's own pool, it honestly doesn't feel real! We cooked our own breakfast in the large kitchen, loved roaming the grounds to find fruits (like pineapples) and tropical flowers. The wifi and Netflix are awesome additions too, but we just found ourselves enjoying switching off and gazing into the stunning sunsets and showered under the stars. Knox was so helpful and picked us up from the ferry, drove us to the shops for supplies, and lots of activities, including the beautiful Bouma falls and we also snorkelled the insanely colourful rainbow reef (amazing dive shop just down the road!). Our experience was enriched greatly by Knox and we enjoyed our time getting to know him. Saskia is also a fabulous host who communicated everything we needed to know before our stay. Glass bottom kayaks and snorkel gear are also available but sadly we ran out of time to use them. There are so many activities to chose from, or equally opportunities to just relax, recharge, and connect with nature and each other. Knox even worked tirelessly all day to cook us a traditional Lovo on our final night at Lomani, which was so delicious and very memorable. It rained quite heavily during our time but it didn't dampen our experience at all. Lomani is a quaint cottage that feels cosy and spacious like home (but with ten times more incredible views). There is something deeply special about Lomani and we hope to return one day but stay longer than three nights. Taveuni is a tranquil, quiet, lush garden island teaming with wildlife, fruit, flowers and creatures (like frogs and geckos), along with such kind hearted people. Unlike anywhere we have ever been before. We are from a busy city and loved how Taveuni is the opposite.

Excellent views, the beach was easily accessible though did require a short walk down a steep walkway to get there.

EVERYTHING 🙂

This spot is a strategically located homestay near the islands airport, less then 5 mins walk, as well as a good starter point for island activities; walking or driving. A welcoming tourist friendly area that was hospitable, well priced, and had a great attitude all around. They have Internet/wifi.

The view is incredible, the location is really convenient (restaurants, shops, diving, airport and gelato stall all in walking distance), breakfasts are great. The two best things for me were the host's generous sharing his local knowledge and the sense of calm and ease at the property.

The staff are excellent. Sarah, Biu, and Flori were so kind and helpful. Having the bure with A/C was a must for being there during the hot season. The food was incredible. Great snorkeling off the beach out at the little islands

We had a wonderful stay in Arona Taveuni! The property had just recently been purchased by new owners, Rod and Kathryn, who were very welcoming, and happy to offer their suggestions for activities and to assist with the bookings. The staff, whether the cooks, the housekeepers, the restaurant servers or the handyman were all lovely and seemed genuinely interested in interacting with the guests. The property, both the rooms and the grounds are very clean, tasteful, and super well maintained, and we really enjoyed having the outdoor room with some kitchen facilities. This is not the kind of hotel you go to if you wish to be close to nightlife or lots of restaurant options (there is just the restaurant at the hotel but it serves excellent food!). If like us, however, you are looking for peace and quiet and a lovely spot to relax you couldn’t do better! Also worth mentioning… We happened to get caught in Cyclone Rae the last day of our stay and Kathryn and Rod were terrific about ensuring that we had the latest information about flight cancellations, and reassured us about being able to accommodate us for the unforeseen extra night we had to spend on the island. It was also clear that the safety of their guests and staff was a top priority.

Great location for diving rainbow reef
