Absolute Beachfront Holiday Cottage with Private Saltwater Pool on Savusavu Bay
Emplacement, emplacement, emplacement !! Imaginez-vous vous détendre sur une belle plage isolée d'un kilomètre de long! Nous sommes Absolute Beachfront (pas en face d'une route animée et bruyante ou en haut d'une colline.)
Notre nouveau chalet de bungalow de vacances avec grande piscine privée d'eau salée est situé dans le charmant domaine de la plage de Sekawa, un petit domaine semblable à un parc caché à un demi-mile de la route principale et niché le long d'une longue plage isolée sur la rive nord de la pittoresque baie de Savusavu sur Vanua Levu, la deuxième plus grande île des Fidji et pratiquement inconnue. Faites un pas en arrière dans le temps et découvrez la beauté tropicale et la tranquillité d'un «paradis caché» que la plupart des visiteurs ne voient jamais!
Réveillez-vous avec un chœur d'oiseaux tropicaux et de vagues douces qui clapotent à quelques pas de votre chalet. Admirez les eaux tranquilles de la charmante baie de Savusavu depuis votre lit ou promenez-vous tôt le matin le long de la longue plage de sable fin et poudreux pour chasser des coquillages intéressants.
Profitez d'une baignade rafraîchissante dans votre grande piscine privée d'eau salée de 11 'X 21' ou dans les eaux chaudes peu profondes de la baie de Savusavu. Faites une promenade paisible à travers nos jardins tropicaux magnifiquement paysagés et nos étangs de nénuphars et observez certains des oiseaux les plus colorés des Fidji tels que le lory à collier, le perroquet des Fidji et la rare colombe orange des Fidji. Faites de la plongée avec tuba sur les récifs coralliens colorés regorgeant de poissons tropicaux juste au large de la baie de Savusavu ou faites du kayak sur la rivière Nasekawa à proximité, passant devant la jungle vierge et les petites colonies indigènes. Le reste de la journée peut être passé à se prélasser sur la grande véranda ou à se détendre dans le hamac de notre amoureux surdimensionné sous les paumes tandis que les brises douces vous bercent dans une relaxation totale. Profitez d'un massage relaxant dispensé dans la bure en bord de mer avec uniquement les sons des vagues et des oiseaux en arrière-plan. Faites une sieste, lisez un livre ou regardez simplement les nuages passer.
Faites autant ou aussi peu que vous le souhaitez! Notre `` bure '' fidjienne traditionnelle est l'endroit idéal pour terminer chaque journée avec une `` happy hour '' passée à regarder un coucher de soleil spectaculaire encadré par les pics volcaniques déchiquetés environnants alors que les lumières de Savusavu scintillent de l'autre côté de la baie et que la croix du Sud se lève dans le clair étoilé ciel.
Rester avec nous vous offre la rare occasion de rencontrer personnellement les sympathiques villageois fidjiens qui viennent souvent à la plage pour pêcher pour leurs prises quotidiennes. C'est un spectacle vraiment mémorable en regardant un groupe de femmes pêcher avec leurs grands filets ou flotter sur un radeau en bambou 'bilibili', tout comme leurs ancêtres l'ont fait pendant des centaines d'années. Les dames seront ravies de vous montrer comment elles tissent un panier, un chapeau ou un éventail à partir d'une fronde de palmier.
Profitez de la paix et de la tranquillité! Notre bungalow est alimenté par la ville, il n'y a donc pas de ronflement constant du générateur. Cependant, nous avons un générateur de secours en cas de coupure de courant.
Si votre idée de l'escapade parfaite est de «se divertir» plutôt que de «se divertir», notre chalet en bord de mer Tropic Splendor relaxant est l'endroit idéal pour profiter de vos vacances aux Fidji!

It doesn’t get more beautiful, private, and beach than this. We walked in the beach for sunset every day, used Alex’s kayak to paddle out and snorkel at the reef, and enjoyed cooking meals in the fully stocked kitchen. Alex and Avi are wonderful hosts. Responsive, welcoming, friendly. The cottage is beautifully designed and clean. The sound of the waves and birdsong was so relaxing. We highly recommend this beautiful spot!

We ABSOLUTELY loved our stay at this property. Alex and Avi were incredible hosts who made us feel like part of their family. Getting to know them, and their two sons, Ethan and Axel was fantastic. Alex was so accommodating and helped us with all of our needs. If quiet, relaxation, and privacy are what you are looking for, this is the place for you. The gardens are stunning, and the cottage is very comfortable, and stocked with everything you might need. Walking the beach was a highlight of each day. The sand was so soft and you will rarely see other people. The pool was great as well. The amenities of the property are exceptional. You can be as busy as you want to be, or rest and take it easy. Alex took us on a private snorkel tour that was absolutely amazing. It really was a day that is engraved on our souls. We hope to return one day soon!

Very beautiful well keep property. Alex and Avi are wonderful host and very helpful. This place is a ways a way from Savusavu, but it was nice to get away from busy life and just relax. We love hearing the waves of the ocean and the birds sing. There is also plenty of water activities such as snorkeling, coning and fishing. We would love to come back someday.

My husband and I stayed here for 15 days. Alex And avi were absolutely perfect host and a little bonus with their two boys. Everything that was stated on their website was there and more. The property was beautiful, well manicured, ponds and tropical flowers and trees. There’s also kayaks there available for the guests we took a vantage of them we went out, snorkeling and kayaking on the coast. We got massages in the Palapa by an amazing local lady. Alex took us out for a snorkeling trip on his boat to Sand Island. It was so much fun. Definitely recommend it. The pool was a wonderful feature to have. We enjoyed it in the afternoons almost daily. The beaches in front of the property are amazing. We walk them every morning and evening. Lots of shells. We did a dive trip with Alex and he videoed us and sent us a beautiful video of it. We really appreciated it so much. Thank you Rossi family for making us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back. We feel that we left with new friends.

Avi and Akex are great hosts and we enjoyed chatting with them and their lovely boys.
We are divers and absolutely fell in love with nimena, natewa, and rainbow reef. We like to cook for ourselves AND HAVE A PEACEFUL Place to return. Tropical Splendor was really beautiful and the evening beach walks with hundreds of bats emerging to forage is splendid. We were unfortunate with the weather as it rained almost everyday except 3 of the 21 days we were there. The drive to diveboats was 30 mins to 1 hour... over really bad roads. For this reason divers be aware, you are not on location. In addition, the internet is terrible, so do not plan to work from vacation if you need internet. In addition, the dishwasher does not work. However the beauty, peacefulness, and responsiveness of avi and alex still earned my 5 stars overall. Be happy and relaxed in this beautiful place. Sit everywhere on the property and have a proper good time!!

The property was very clean. Bed was large and very comfortable. Our hosts were great.
We hate to be negative but....
Internet was intermittent at best, and we had a business to deal with. This was a daily frustration.
We found the property very dark inside and as we read a lot this was a big negative for us.
Not a sharp knife to be found which made cooking difficult.
Our second week on Savu Savu at another equivalent place was less than half the price and better in many ways. There was no pool but many other extras including excellent internet and laundry and cleaning service available.
So although lovely hosts not good value for money.

Nice, fully self contained cottage set a few steps from the beach amongst tropical gardens and Lilly ponds. The area is peacefull, and we enjoyed having the sandy beach virtually to ourselves. We snorkelled down the eastern end amongst coral and fish. The hosts were friendly and welcoming; Alex is involved in coral restoration, and can take guests out to see this and to other outer reef snorkeling sites for a fee.
Thanks for a lovely stay.

We were celebrating a very special occasion.
We wanted a beautiful, unique, memorable vacation to celebrate it.
We got one.
Thank you Alex & Avi for making your beautiful cottage available to us, and for your hospitality. We simply can't say enough good things about our stay. Want the sound of the waves to lull you to sleep every night? You'll get it here. Want to sit on the huge roofed porch and watch a tropic storm go by? Check. Stargazing on the beach...you got it. It's gorgeous, very quiet, very private, and extremely relaxing. Town is a shortish taxi ride away when you need to go in, but you're in another world at the cottage. If you're looking for something other than the resort experience in Fiji, STAY HERE. You will not be disappointed.
I would like to add that if you are at all into birds - even a casual interest - the area around the cottage is outstanding birdwatching. We saw a dozen or more species endemic to Fiji, including the orange dove!

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful beachfront property in Savusavu, and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the peaceful atmosphere and tranquility of the surroundings. The property was nestled in beautifully landscaped gardens that just oozed with tropical charm – it was incredibly relaxing to spend time wandering around and taking in the sights and sounds.
Speaking of sounds, we absolutely loved hearing the waves at night. It was such a soothing soundtrack to drift off to sleep to! One of the best things about this property was that we essentially had the beach all to ourselves. We loved spending lazy afternoons lounging on the soft sand and soaking up the sun, all without any crowds or noise to disturb us.The interior of the property was just as impressive as the exterior – everything was clean, well-maintained, and incredibly comfortable. We appreciated the attention to detail in the décor and furnishings, and felt right at home from the moment we unpacked our bags.
Of course, no review of this property would be complete without mentioning our wonderful hosts, Alex and Avi. They were warm, welcoming, and eager to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We felt like we were staying with old friends, rather than strangers! Finally, we have to give a special shout-out to the boat and snorkeling trip to Alex's coral restoration site. It was truly a one-of-a experience.

My wife and I had the most amazing, magical, private honeymoon at the cottage of Alex and Avi. The tropical splendor cottage was beautiful, comfortable, and private. We enjoyed going to the local market in town to buy fresh fish and vegetables to bring back to cook at the cottage. The flat is very well decorated, cozy, and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. We really appreciated the A/C unit in the house because the weather in Fiji tends to get very hot and humid. The property and landscaping is very beautiful and well manicured. The beach in front of the cottage is gorgeous and private. My wife and I would walk down the beach for 45 minutes to an hour and not see one person. The internet inside the house is very spotty, so we would take our phones and laptop down to the beach where there is better reception when we needed to check messages, send email, etc. We really wanted a honeymoon where we could go somewhere that was private and spend our time alone together. We have two small children so this was our first real trip alone together. Alex was extremely friendly, helpful, and offered to take us out on his boat and a variety of excursions. He was also very kind and understanding that the two of us for the most part wanted to just hang out alone together.
We really fell in love with Savusavu and the Fijian people and culture. We highly recommend the tropical splendor cottage. Alex and Avi are lovely people and have a beautiful family. Thank you!

Alex and Avi were wonderful hosts, from allowing early check-in to offering trips into the Bay on their boat. I had plenty of space to read and relax in the guesthouse, with Savusavu’s main street an easy 20 minute taxi ride away (they have a driver they use who they can call on your behalf). I had free use of sea kayaks, and I paid Alex to take me on a snorkeling trip near a sand bar. I recommend booking here!

I love the thought of going to this property as soon as we are able. The hosts have been very kind and good to communicate with, so when we can we will rebook.

malo aupito from venice
not possible to write how beautiful (and how fortunate) we were to stay at avi & alex's home. it was beyond incredible... everything everyone writes in their reviews about this home is all true, especially the parts where they cannot speak enough to the tranquility, the peacefulness and the graciousness of the hosts avi & alex. my husband and i have been fortunate to travel many times (since we were little kids) to the south pacific having family and friends spread throughout... now, as adults (early 50's), besides visiting loved ones, we are always searching for a place of our "own" to stay that's more like we knew as kids, not a big resort, more away from the grid, where time moves slower, the pace more peaceful (we live in venice beach) a place more private, and it is SO lovely it makes your heart hurt to leave. this home, this place is our MOST favorite we've ever been to. it's the perfect respite to reset the soul. we hope to return next year for a longer visit & watch some sailing for certain : ) we cannot thank our hosts enough. to avi, alex and master sailer ethan and future sailer axel.. Malo Aupito & thank you !!! (and because i'm OCD and believe in writing a teeny bit on logistics.. just a few notes ... bring a few of your own shopping bags - SO helpful/vital to cut down on local shops, markets and their plastic bag usage, "chico" style is perfect, they're tiny, and whether supermarket, fresh veggies, or even fresh fish you can wash out and they dry so fast. bring a water bottle, avi/alex are genius and have access to Spring Water, they have SAFE BOTTLED spring water, we didn't buy one plastic water bottle during our stay. turkish style beach towels are light/fast dry for off beach/water getaways - the property provides plenty of linens but traditional towels are bulky/heavier to pack on adventure jaunts... i can never get my husband out of the water, wet towels follow him everywhere, so turkish towels are a must!! we hope you have a blast!!)

I’d give Tropical Splendor 6 out of 5 if possible
We have travelled a fair bit of this beautiful planet staying in a combination of short-term rentals and 5 star resorts. I’d choose Tropical Splendor over any of them any day.
The tranquility of the estate, the artisan touches imbedded throughout the cottage and owners’ customer service is second to none.
A typical day in this nature saturated peaceful refuge started with our morning coffee (French press provided) listening to the songs various birds shared followed by beach walks where we rarely saw another soul.
Alex took us snorkelling three times and with his dive experience And local knowledge we were in the safest of hands. He is very involved in coral restoration and we were grateful he happily shared his knowledge. Avi’s endless smile and kind heart is a reprieve from the the business of the world. She is a quick message away for any questions and so happy to assist. On Saturday she welcomed us to join her at the local market to stock up on fresh veggies, lobster and fresh prawns. If you’re a foodie don’t miss out on the market. Back at Trooical Splendor you have everything you need to put together lovely meals to enjoy on the poolside wraparound deck. Following dinner we would head to the beach and soak in the sunsets.
The cottage itself is built to a standard to which North Americans are accustomed. The photos quite simply do not do it justice at all. If you’re a bit of a clean weirdo like me just know even the nooks and crannies are clean. (Better than my own home dare I say!).
I highly recommend Tropical Splendor. If it possible I’d give it 6 out if 5. In fact I’m Eternally grateful for the opportunity to have stayed here.
Thank you Alex and Avi for all you do.

Stunning, breathtaking views, pics don’t do it justice!
Avi and the kids extended us with a warm Fiji welcome and she was available for anything we needed. My friend and I LOVED THIS PLACE! It truly was a “tropical Splendor”. We swam and played in the waves every morning, paddle boarded, kayaked and walked daily as well.
We kayaked up the river and it seemed as untouched as the time of dinosaurs and I half expected to see a brontosaurus grazing at the rivers edge!
To top of off, we saw a double rainbow and it ended at the cove point. We kayaked to the spot and literally sat at the end of the rainbow...... this capped off our amazing week.
I would highly recommend this house and Avi and Alex (who was out of town until the last 2 days). They , along with the groundskeepers and driver, never left us wanting for anything!
The definition of 5 ⭐️!

Heaven in Savusavu
The bungalow was absolutely fabulous and so comfortable. It had everything you would need and so much more. The beach, the views, and the grounds were fantastic.
There was great communication with Avisake who was so sweet and considerate.,
Unfortunately power went out one afternoon which included the water but that was just a hitch. Would have loved to stay longer. The photos do not do the place justice.
The only drawback is the distance to town but taxis are always available.

Amazing, awesome, wonderful week at Tropical Splendor
Our week at Tropical Splendor was a glimpse into the real Fiji in a perfect setting, with outstanding activities and wonderful hosts ,Avi and Alex.
We would awake to sunshine streaming in, birds singing, colorful flowers, palms swaying, and waves gently crashing. Bananas, coconuts, and passion fruit were delivered by our hosts and grown in our yard. Kayaking on a mangrove lined River and snorkeling on a nearby reef with Alex were wonderful! A trip to a local tribal village arranged by our hosts was also a highlight. We also enjoyed a traditional lovo feast prepared by Avi and Rosie right in our yard including fish and lobster caught on our morning snorkeling trip. Beach walks on on lovely, secluded sandy beach with spectacular panoramic views are right on your doorstep. We also loved the pool....crystal clear and refreshing.
The cottage was super clean with Fijian artifacts and well equipped kitchen.....great wi fi too.
Alex and Avi were very helpful in all ways, easy and fun to be with, and always respectful of our privacy.
We didn't have a car, but had a great taxi driver, Naren, who was ver much a tour guide and so proud of this area. We enjoyed our trips into Savusavu....nice grocery and places to eat.
We highly recommend "Tropical Splendor" as the perfect place for an amazing Fiji experience with wonderful hosts?

Paradise found!
After many inquires and much research my wife and I decided to book this property for our 25th wedding anniversary for 12 nights. I can tell you now that there is nothing that I am going to be able to say or any other review you will read that does this place the justice that it deserves. Upon our arrival to Savusavu airport, Alex met us and took us to town for some groceries and then brought us to his property. We were absolutely blown away at how much more perfect it was than all of the pictures could show and reviews could say. This is 100% beachfront with one of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches we have ever seen. The house itself is very well stocked and nicely decorated with all of the amenities that you will need for a perfect stay. The pool was a wonderful addition when we weren't spending time on the beach, in the ocean or on the lovers hammock.
The property is an absolute wonder and we walked it many times just looking at the different plants, trees and flowers making it seem like you were in a nature park. Alex, Avi and their two boys are 4 of the nicest and most genuine people we have ever met in all of our travels. They were very helpful with any questions we had and very knowledgeable of the Fiji islands and the local customs with many suggestions for us to experience. We went to a local village and met the Chief, then got permission from her to hike up to a waterfall with several members of the village. After the hike we had a Kava ceremony with many members of the village and then spent some time at a local school talking with some teachers and students. I highly recommend doing this to anyone that comes here as it gives you a real taste of the Fijian people and their hospitality. Alex even took us out to do some snorkeling and showed us his coral farm. He also took us on an incredible kayak trip down the river that is close by, then back thru the mangroves to the ocean. Make sure you visit the market in Savusavu for your fresh veggies and seafood, then cross the street for all of your other needs at the stores. If you want to see the real Fiji in an unspoiled and local setting, you have to come here and see if for yourself. If you are unsure about a car, don't worry as they have a taxi driver that they use and he was very nice and excited to tell you anything about his island that you want to know. Please if you use him tell him "John Rambo" says hi! We are already planning our return trip and cannot wait!

An amazing opportunity for tranquility!
Just finished 2 weeks at this amazing place! The cottage is lovely, fully appointed, all of the amenities. Ideal for 1-2 people. Great wifi, plenty of books and movies. The grounds are beautiful with a park-like atmosphere filled with tropical plants. Fresh passion fruit, young coconut and bananas show up on your doorstep with regularity. The beach is pristine with only one or two other properties along the shore. If you are looking for a quiet place to get away from it all, this is definitely it! The cottage is about 15 km outside of Savusavu, so you should either rent a car or rely on the local taxis. The family that runs the place is amazing and generous. They would often include me if they were going to town or to the Saturday market. They also arranged trips to the local village for a kava ceremony and prepared a traditional love dinner for my last night. Alex is a dive instructor, so take you out snorkeling/diving on the home reef or arrange for other dive opportunities. This is the real Fiji, make no mistake. If you are in the area, don't miss the opportunity to stay here!

Two weeks in Paradise!
We just spent two unforgettable weeks at the Tropic Splendor Cottage. Our hosts, Avi and Alex, were wonderful! They were very responsive before our trip as we were trying to coordinate our visit around a family emergency. They went above and beyond to try to accommodate our situation. Once we arrived they picked us up, took us to town to get some food, showed us their beautiful property, and made sure we were well supplied each day with fresh fruit, and even eggs from their chickens, on occasion! Alex offers scuba diving trips/scuba certification, snorkel trips, if desired. He took us out for a morning on paddle boards and kayaks, as well as, a day visiting a local village which included trying kava with the village chief, touring the village, and hiking up to a nearby beautiful waterfall. The cottage was beautifully decorated with Fiji artifacts and had everything we needed to cook for ourselves most evenings. It was well stocked with plenty of books to read which we appreciated. We spent most of our time enjoying the gorgeous mile long beach, swimming, running, and sunbathing. It is amazing how secluded it is! We rarely saw other tourists. Occasionally we saw the village women fishing with their nets which was fun. There are kayaks to take out and enjoy an early morning trip out along the coast. Beautiful! Since the cottage is a 15 minute drive from the nearest town with restaurants, stores, etc., you either need to rent a car or get a taxi. We opted to get a taxi when needed. Next time we go (and yes, there WILL be a next time) we will rent a car. Taxi fees were FJD 20.00, or $10.00 each way. All the staff who work on the property are so kind and helpful! Saras, who helps clean the cottage, made a fantastic meal of curry chicken with all the fixings for us and even sent us home with the recipe! Our last night there, Avi cooked a wonderful Fijian dinner which was a perfect way to finish our lovely stay. We highly recommend the Tropic Splendor Cottage and hope to return again. What an unforgettable time!

Simply the best
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful location. Truly a tropical paradise with fantastic gardens and a quiet secluded beach, it was the ideal spot to unwind and enjoy quality time.
The owners; Avi and Alessandro were welcoming and helpful yet at the same time ensured that we enjoyed our freedom and privacy in this very special place.
We highly recommend this property and look forward to returning to this very special place in future.

Wonderful place - plan to return.
The first thing to note is that Jeff and Susan and some of the staff are no longer at Tropic Splendour. That being said the cottage is still as lovely as ever, the gardens are something to be proud of, and the beach still beckons from only a few steps away with its gentle lapping waves and cool breezes. The new owners are a young family who were wonderful hosts and worked hard to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. As we were there for over a month, a traditional 'lovo' was prepared (a fijian specialty where meats, fish and veg are weaved into fresh leaves, placed onto hot coals, covered and left to cook through - absolutely delicious. The beach is soft brown sand, the water inviting, sometimes not clear as the river mouth is about a mile up beach, but out towards the reef is very clear. Still a beautiful place to swim, walk, or take advantage of the water toys available - kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel gear etc. Paddle to the left of the bay and near the shore reefs I saw turtles, schools of fish and lovely blue starfish. Alex can even give you PADI training in the bay,. You might find that you may need a car if you want to get around and explore. Avi and Alex can run you into town when they take their son Ethan to school at 8am, but it is $20 Fijian each way in a cab if they are not available. Its a bit far off the main road to make public transport viable, but it makes for a very relaxing holiday - no road, no traffic, just you and the beach - bliss. Sara came in and cooked one day a week (for a small fee and you supply the ingredients) Absolutely mouth watering - her roti is the best on the island! She also does the house cleaning a couple of times a week and is a pleasure to be with. All in all we loved the place and plan to return. Thanks Avi and Alex (and Ethan and Axel)

Paradise found!
We visited in April and had a wonderful time from start to finish. Avi and Alex made sure we had everything we needed and were excellent hosts. The cottage and facilities were beautifully maintained and the grounds were stunning. Flowers of every variety and a gorgeous array of palm trees and lily ponds surrounded the cottage, pool and covered sitting area. It would have been easy to just rest and relax but we couldn't resist snorkeling trips to the reefs near the property using the kayaks provided. Sunset walks on the beach were also a must, with stunning sunsets over nearby mountains. We have stayed in several places in Fiji and this was our favorite. We would recommend renting a car for any days you'd like to explore the island as taxis can add up.

An Amazing Adventure!
Pictures do not do justice to the beauty that is Tropic Splendor! Jeff and Susan go out of their way to make you feel welcome and included me in some of their activities, such as a water deployment day at a local village that was a life changing experience. The people of Fiji are kind, friendly, happy, generous and respectful and a reminder of what is really important in life. Saras and Panaia are two wonderful examples. I thoroughly enjoyed the coconut demonstration, Saras' cooking, kayaking, hiking, basket weaving, snorkeling and the Kava ceremony, all of which were first times for me. It is a great vacation spot for enjoying the sun, the beach, the pool and the surroundings and Jeff, Susan, Saras and Panaia expand on that to make it a great adventure. Could not recommend this place more! Great for couples, friends or solo travelers.

Fantastic, Romantic Cottage- A Must Stay
My husband and I stayed for a month on this very beautiful cottage that is right on the beach. The place was so private and decorated in traditional Fijian decor with all that you need to feel right at home. Susan and Jeff and their staff were friendly and provided us with everything we needed but also allowed us complete privacy. The beach is gorgeous and we spent our days kayaking, walking the beach, scuba diving and just lounging around in our very own private pool. The gardens on the property are photograph worthy. We did not want to leave even after a month. Thanks Susan and Jeff for the fishing trip and all you did for us while we were there. We will be back.

Tropic Splendor a must!
We stayed at his lovely cottage for one month. It was absolutely amazing in every way. Our hosts, Jeff and Susan did everything to make our stay "perfect". We were so glad that we had one month, wished it was longer. Even on days where we didn't do much, we always managed 2 swims a day, and a walk along the breathtaking beach. Loved sitting in th bure for lunch or dinner and a fiji bitter beer.... The staff were also outstanding. Highly recommend this wonderful location and cottage.

It doesn't get any better than this!
My husband and I stayed here for a week for our honeymoon. This home has the best location on an unspoiled beach. No other houses, no hotels, no roads, nothing. Just coconut trees. The propery is stunning. Flowers EVERYWHERE inside and out. The staff, Saris and Panera, are even more stunning. They showed us the different stages of a coconut, made us an authentic Fijian-Indian dinner, took us to a nearby village and waterfall, brought us fresh coconut milk, and shared in a kava ceremony with us. So friendly and knowledgable. The owners are out of this world helpful. Having fellow Americans there to "hold our hand' made visiting a new foreign land much less intimidating, not that Fiji could ever be considered intimidating. They hosted us for dinner one evening, took us grocery shopping, and even doctored up a scratch on my leg. They never intrudted on us, and we never saw them unless we sought them out. Thier property is way behind the cottage, so you dont even know they are there. As honeymooners, our privacy was important to us and we had it. We spend every day on the deck reading books next to the pool which was a really nice perk. The wifi was reliable, the board games and library of books was ample and appreciated, the kitchen was up to date and had all the comforts of home.
If you want to spend the week seeing sights, rent a car. If you want to plant yourself and really really relax, don't. You can rent a taxi if you want to take a trip (cheap), or hitch a ride with Susan when she goes to town if you need to pick something up. We used the kayak while we were there and it was fun. I also took advantage of the massage service available for a mere $25 USD, beachside, and it was great. We found an occassional gecko (about 4 inches long) in the kitchen, so if that freaks you out, Fiji isn't for you. They are everywhere. They don't leave the safety of the wall so they don't bother you. There are lots of frogs at night, which are fun to go looking for with flashlights. There are lots of mosquitos too. Luckily, the house had coils to burn which helped, and we had bug spray. Bring something with Deet in it and cortizone! They never stopped us from being outside, just reapply liberally. This was by far the best vacation house I've ever stayed in and the value is phenomenal. Because of this house, we will never vacation i Mexico again, and can't wait to come back here, hopefully next year.

We arrived at the beginning of December '09 after travelling for 3 months round Australia/NZ ready for a rest. We certainly weren't disappointed. We couldn't have chosen a more beautiful cottage and setting. The surroundings are amazing, the flowers that Frances and Saras decorate the inside and outside of the cottage were the most exotic specimens we’ve ever seen. Then the fresh fruit that was picked daily from the gardens for us was absolutely “yummy”. Although we are not “water babies” to have the sea a few minutes away was great – paradise. Frances’s and Penaia’s demonstration with coconuts was so enlightening we shall look at this fruit in totally different way from now on. Saras cooking wonderful curries and showing you how to make it was another bonus. To shop in the town of Savusavu is an experience itself, the locals are so friendly and genuine. We bought fruit and vegetables from the local market that was so fresh and tasty. We told Susan and Jeff we’d never tried lobster before, so Jeff told us to buy it at the market and then showed us how to prepare and cook it (and a very enjoyable evening was spent with them too). They invited us to accompany them to the Rotary club to meet their friends and hear about the many projects they are undertaking to enhance the local people’s lives – a very worthy cause. We were invited to the local school's end of year prize giving. Afterwards the children entertained us, their families and friends, with a concert – very amusing at times. Another day we were invited to see the local children perform the “Meke” and take part in the local custom of drinking karva, unusual taste but not unpleasant! A sunset cruise up the river on Steve’s boat was so relaxing, then dinner at the yacht club afterwards – another world. It was lovely to see the real Fiji and not be stuck in a resort where everything laid on can be a bit too perfect. Jeff and Susan are the most generous of hosts and made our stay the perfect ending to our "adventure" to the other side of the world. Can’t wait to go back. Pam & Roger Higgins, Dorset, UK

Our stay at Tropic Splendor was truly a unique and fulfilling experience; one of those “special” vacations that we will be talking about and telling our friends about for some time. If you are looking for a private, intimate experience in Fiji, far from the mega-resort “Hawaiian-Waikiki” experience, this is definitely worth considering. We have never met such gracious friendly people in all our travels. Tropic Splendor is a well equipped oceanfront, 1 bedroom studio cottage with a pool on a private 3 acre property that has been extensively landscaped with palms, ginger, heliconia, and many other tropicals. The pictures (as pictures often do) just don’t do it justice. The unique and wonderful feature about Tropic Splendor is the owners Jeff and Susan! You can have as much or as little interaction with them as you wish. The result being Tropic Splendor is more like a private resort instead of just a house for rent. But unlike a resort, aside from buying some extra gas for the boat, you don’t have to constantly have your wallet out to pay for the extra services. If you like, Jeff and Susan have their new guests over for a special welcome dinner on their first night so you can get to know one another and they can give you all the low-down of what is available to do and see. And, on Friday nights it’s become an unofficial tradition that everyone goes into town and meets up with other ex-pats for Happy Hour and dinner. We came to Fiji to snorkel the reefs and we were not disappointed. The underwater scenery, even without diving, was fabulous and in my opinion, was superior to anywhere else we have been. There are several reefs that are easily accessible by kayak from Tropic Splendor and many more that are accessible from Jeff’s motorboat. On the reefs away from shore, the visibility was 80 feet or more and many of the reefs came right to the surface for an extremely close-up experience. Although the fishing was a little slow, there are plenty of pictures of guests with 90 lb tuna and 4 foot long dorado. Jeff and Susan can arrange for locals to provide “special” services including home-cooked Indo-Fijian dinner or a hour-long relaxing massages. And special invitations can be arranged to visit Vunivesi Village, meet some of the villagers and be treated to a very special occasion, a “Meke”, traditional dances and songs performed by the village children. It touched our hearts seeing the innocent, joyful and proud children who shared their traditions and cust

Our stay at Tropic Splendor (Nov 2009) was exceptional! The accommodations & amenities are amazing, but Jeff & Susan are what make this place so special. The guest house is beautiful & comfortable, and has everything you need to feel like you're a local living in Fiji. Susan was so wonderful about showing us around town, taking us shopping, & teaching us about Savusavu. And Jeff is so much fun to hang out with on the boat. We found the BEST snorkeling with Jeff by Split Rock and the lighthouse! We also had an amazing couple of dinners with Jeff & Susan (at their home & at the Yacht Club). They are fun to talk with & knowledgeable about many things. It's incredible to see how much they are involved in their community & truly make a difference in the lives of the villagers in their area. MUST DO: snorkel with Jeff, participate in the coconut demo with Panaia, learn to make coconut milk with Francis, take the Waisali Rainforest Reserve hike, visit the market in town and Vunivesi village. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.

My husband and I were lucky enough to find thits wonderful hidden paradise in Fiji. If you are a couple who loves quiet walks on a beach, beautiful clear water, outdoor activies, natural beauty around you and people who are just wonderful to be around, then this is the place for you! My husband and I cannot express in words the wonderful setting that our hosts Jeff and Susan have provided. Tropic Splendor is truly the most wonderful vacation destination we have ever been lucky enough to experience! We will return with much anticipation and pleasure!

Susan and Jeff make Tropic Splendor just what the name implies. They work hard to make sure that visitors experience the many facets of Savusavu. Upon our arrival, Sue picked us up at the airport and took us into town, where we were able to obtain groceries. On the way to Tropic Splendor she made stops so that we could photograph some of the outstanding vistas. The first thing we did upon arrival at Tropic Splendor was go for a dip in the bay. It was wonderful after a 10 hour flight! Next on the agenda was a boat ride up the Nasakewa river. It was raining lightly at the time and was just beautiful. The following day Susan took us to Savusavu so that we could be measured for sundresses at one of the local fabric stores. Nothing like having a dress tailor made in a couple of days. We shopped in the market for fresh produce, went to lunch at the Yacht Club, and tried our skills at dickering at the crafts shops. Meanwhile Jeff took our companions snorkeling at some of the fine reef around Savusavu. We toured the Hibiscus highway the following day, where we were able to visit some of Sue and Jeff's friends. Again more breathtaking scenery. The highlight of the trip for me was snorkeling at split rocks. The number of fish and corals was astonishing in a place that was so close to a populated area. The reefs around Fiji are so healthy. The children's meke was another tremendous experience. They were so talented and beautiful. It was fun to see the spear dance, and fan dance put on by the kids. Visiting their village was a treat. The coconut demonstration that Frances and Penaia did was also memorable. They showed us how every bit of the coconut is used in daily life. It is clever the way the baskets are created. So simple and elegant at the same time. While on vacation we stayed at another resort as well, but it paled in comparison to Tropic Splendor. Jeff and Sue pay so much attention to detail that a vacation there is guarenteed to be a pleasure. They make sure that you enjoy the cultural and physical treasures of Fiji.

My husband and I just returned from our two weeks in Savusavu, Fiji. We went to Savusavu as our two weeks leave from Iraq and could not have picked a better place. We stayed the entire two weeks at Tropic Splendor and had the times of our lives. Jeff and Susan are exceptional hosts and gave us the complete tour. We visited the local villages, did some shopping for pearls, spent many of nights at the Yacht Club, took a ride on Jeff and Susan's boat into town and enjoyed fishing on the way back. Also, the staff is very friendly and more than willing to make sure your stay is a wonderful one. We would walk down the beach to comb for shells and would return to fresh flowers everywhere throughout the cottage and porch. All the flowers grow throughout the property and I would quiz Frances and Saras on the names of them.....my favorite is the Torch Flower. We also managed to completed 14 dives with Dive N Downunder. Late night walks on the beach, and sleeping to the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore just topped everything off. We are already planning another trip to Savusavu with our children after our tour in Iraq is complete. I have traveled all over the world with the military and I can honestly say that our two weeks at Tropic Slendor was the best yet. I would recommend anyone looking to get away for a relaxed and romantic vacation to check them out.

My husband and I have just returned from a 3 week holiday in Fiji and the first week we had the privelege of staying at Tropic Splendor just outside of Savusavu. The owners, Jeff and Susan, live at the back of the property but the cottage is beachfront. They are both wonderful hosts, very aware of your privacy but also very helpful and kind, making a perfect combination for our first time in Fiji. The cottage is wonderful, very well equipped and has a beautiful private pool. The Fijian caretaker and the 2 housekeepers are delightful people and very informative about the Fijian way of life, showing us how they weave baskets and "live off the land". Jeff and Susan even hosted a dinner for us the first night, a real treat after almost 24 hours of being in transit, and took us out twice in their boat for snorkelling and for a trip up a nearby river. They even took us to a nearby village to watch darling Fijian children dancing...and it was all included. If anyone would like to e-mail me , I would be happy to answer any questions
Vinaka to all at Tropic Splendor for a truly wonderful time !
