"Staying at this home stay was one of the most impactful experiences I had during my trip to Fiji. It gave me an intimate glimpse into what life in Fiji really looks like outside the resorts and luxury hotels. Communication was very warm and kind from the very beginning, even before I arrived. William responded quickly to any questions and offered his help with organizing transportation and activities during my stay. He even sent someone to the airport to pick me up when I landed. The first words I heard when I arrived were "We have been anticipating your arrival for a month now. We are so happy that you're here." The entire family was warm, kind, and caring. My room was small but tidy. Mind you, this is not a luxury resort, you are going to stay in a family's home and you'll be sharing their bathroom and shower. They are doing their best to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible with the means they have at their disposal. Breakfast was made for me every morning and included fresh fruit, bread, scrambles eggs, etc. - always more food than I could eat. Lunch and/or dinner was made especially for me as well, for an extra small fee. It was delicious traditional Fijian food, the best I had during my entire trip. You won't get such an experience in a resort or hotel. They're currently expanding the house to add more space and a private bathroom for their guests. I would definitely stay here again."

5/5 Excellent
Our own little slice of heaven for a few days!
"From the moment we booked, communication with Tony was stellar. In the weeks before our arrival, he helped us plan our time in Taveuni with wonderful recommendations on what to do and where to eat. Upon arrival the caretaker, Vinna, showed up smiling and assisting us with our luggage. The house was decorated beautifully with flowers and fresh coconut drinks awaited us. The view in person was so much better than the photos online, which I didn't think was possible! Our outings with our driver, Tyren (sp?), were such a blast, and he was so gracious and helpful! Our family of four had the best time kayaking to Honeymoon Island and snorkeling. Our trip was filled with some amazing excursions, but this was all our our favorite, which says a lot!! We had an incredible lovo with meke and tried kava at the Dive Restaurant at Tony's encouragement. It was SO special!! One night Vinna cooked a delicious dinner for us, complete with banana bread and delivered by her sweet sons. When it was time to check-out and head home, Vinna showed up with flowers to put around our necks. I asked if I could have a hug and she lit up and threw her arms out wide. We were only there for three nights, but our hearts may be there forever. Thank you, so, so much for helping us create incredible memories for our family and celebrate mine and my husband's 25th wedding anniversary. I tear up thinking about how special our time at Vale Sekoula was. Upo"

"Great location and house to stay at Fiji’s garden island. Knox and Kelera are great, which both made our stay even better. Host communication is quick and great. Only complaints are didn’t see the two seater swing as shown in the listing, was hard to sleep since house gets hot (portable A/C unit in bedroom at night would’ve been great), and in the distance was a camera set up. Not sure if it was the properties camera or the nearby resorts but seeing this made it feel we had less privacy. Would love to come back and stay again. "

"We changed our plans at the last minute and happened to come across Sau Bay on Google Maps. It looked like a great spot for a resort, so we decided to give it a try.
After our stay, my girlfriend and I found it incredibly difficult to leave. We absolutely loved this place and didn’t have a single complaint. The resort itself is beautiful, and staying there was an absolute pleasure. It’s a small, intimate retreat, accommodating only about 16 guests, which made for a peaceful and personal experience.
The staff were, without a doubt, the highlight of our visit. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming, treating us better than at any other resort we’ve been to. From the warm welcome, with them singing on the beach as we arrived, to the delicious food and drinks prepared daily, every detail was top-notch. The dive masters were also outstanding, making our experience exploring the Rainbow Reef even more unforgettable.
I can’t wait to return and explore more of Sau Bay. I’ll definitely be back!"
