BougainVilla Savusavu

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

The stairs to the mezzanine or loft bedroom were tricky to get on and off at the top so as stated you need to be flexible to get up n down.

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

Not sure if its just me but I felt there was no privacy for the attached outside shower/ bathroom. Neighbouring house seems to be overlooking and anyone walking on the hill above you can see you in the shower :P . I enjoyed my stay there otherwise
