Explored a little, relaxed a lot!
This property is exactly as described in the listing. As a couple who enjoy cooking for each other we were pleased that the kitchen was well equipped for making both kaiviti and kaivalagi style dishes. Hosts Lisa and Roy shared their knowledge of where to get local ingredients and provided us coconuts (complete with grater) and fresh herbs from their beautiful tropical garden! We were far enough away from Savusavu town to feel peaceful and secluded but close enough for convenient shopping, pearl farm tour, snorkeling at Split Rock and checking out the busy Saturday fish and produce market. Lisa set up the initial taxi transfer for us from the airport and then gave us Vinod's direct number to use for the rest of our stay. He was so prompt and available it was like having a personal driver! The beach is very private and the gradual sandy slope makes it nice for swimming. The walk to the beach is pleasant going downhill and a little slower coming back up in the heat of the day. After a couple of times we got used to looking forward to enjoying the breeze out on the deck overlooking the water after our walk. Overhead fans inside the bure and out on the deck (as well as AC in the bedroom) provide plenty of options for cooling off since it was still hot and humid during our April stay. Wifi worked great and decent local cell reception when needed. This was a great tropical getaway spot and exactly what we had hoped for our two week vacation.

Roy and Lisa are the best hosts! This property checks all the boxes that make a vacation great. The house had all amenities: kitchen fully equipped to make meals, ac in bedroom to provide comfort on hot afternoons and evenings, entertainment Center with an incredible selection of movies and music upon request, fans in every room, kayaks available for use. Lisa and Roy were so helpful with providing advice and recommendations for making our stay a wonderful experience. They arranged taxi to meet us at the airport, stocked the refrigerator with some food, dropped off fruit and gave some helpful hints.

Extremely Comfortable in Real Fiji
Everything from confirmation to Kava. Lisa and Roy are amazing and they made our time on Savusavu so much better. We were provided with a taxi from the airport and connections for diving and site seeing. Beautiful views from the deck to the Bay and a short quarter mile walk down a hill to the water. Cannot recommend highly enough. BULA

Our favourite part of our Fiji trip
Thank you so much for your hospitality Lisa and Roy. Our little family of three enjoyed your home thoroughly. The house was clean and included everything for a comfortable stay. We were treated to fresh produce from the garden and lots of helpful advice on everything you need to know locally. The house is set on a gorgeous property, with a wrap around balcony and ocean views. We loved taking lazy naps out on the daybed and sleeping through the night with all the doors and windows open. Thank you for making our little one’s first holiday so enjoyable :)

Sekawa Beach Cottage
Lisa and Roy, your hosts at the Sekawa Beach guest cottage will astonish you with their care and thoughtfulness! Lisa was available to answer all our many questions and suggest day trips. She organized our airport transportation to Savusavu, with a stop for groceries, a visit to the farmers market and the liquor store, as well a SCUBA dive in pristine Natewa Bay. Their guest house is a lovely spot set a little ways up the hill from Sekawa Beach. The house is meticulously cared for and has everything you will need to make your stay comfortable. If you want peace and quiet, surrounded by tropical beauty, it’s perfect. Their well maintained grounds and surrounding flowers, plants and trees will make you think you are in a tropical paradise. Every morning Lisa left two fresh hibiscus for us to enjoy. The beach (about a 10 minute walk) is a beautiful hard packed sand beach which you basically have to yourself. It is great for walking or running at low tide. Occasionally, you will meet Fijians who greet you with a smile and Bula. Lisa and Roy have like new single person kayaks, which you can use to kayak out to snorkel on a buoyed reef about 750 metres offshore and to paddle down the meandering Sekawa River, which is close by. Lisa also organized a trip for us with a local guide Micah to see a village and a beautiful waterfall, and also to take us to Split Rock to snorkel. Micah had fresh coconuts ready to eat and drink when we finished. He then showed us the hot pools in Savusavu where the locals cook their meals. Interesting. Roy and Lisa performed a Kava ceremony for us teaching us how to pound the root and then prepare the powder for drinking by steeping the powder in a double lined mixing bag (saree material) with water and kneading the bag in their Tanoa bowl. The kava solution is stirred with a bili bowl and served with a beautiful Taki (a coconut shell server). The ceremony and the drink is relaxing and was the perfect time to visit and get acquainted. Sauvsauv is about a 20 minute drive to the guest house by taxi or local bus ,when you need groceries or want to go to dine out. Surf and Turf served us a delicious meal and the Captain's Table receives good recommendations. By the end of our 10 days we felt like family. Highly recommended and more!

A wonderful paradise found
If you enjoy getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city or … Denarau… consider this cottage stay off the beaten track. Cooking fresh market vegetables from Savusavu, swimming in the sea every day, relaxing on the veranda watching birds in the tropical garden …. To top all of the physical attributes off, your hosts will astonish you with care and thoughtfulness. Lisa is a treasure who is always on hand to answer questions and suggest day trips. We are already planning our return to this piece of paradise found.

Beautiful pristine location
My family has been traveling the world for a year and this is the most beautiful, unspoiled beach location we've seen. Most beaches are already built up with hotels and condos, but this is just a few houses, placed in such a way that the view is unobstructed, and beautiful untouched rain forest. If you are looking for nightlife right outside your door it's not here, but if you want peace and nature it's perfect. Savusavu is only about a 20 minute drive so even though you're in nature you're not far from shopping and restaurants. There are plenty of fun activities and day trips within a short drive, and Lisa is very helpful in giving advice and even putting you in contact with the right people. This is a huge help because online information isn't completely updated in this area and people seem to use phone connection rather than email. So definitely a good place to accept the help of local folks rather than trying to organize everything yourself. Lisa organized our airport transportation with a wonderful driver. We ended up using him for all our trips to Savusavu and he became a guide and a friend, even watching our kids at the park while we were grocery shopping. Lisa organized a trip for us with a local guide Micah to see a village and a beautiful waterfall, and also the most amazing snorkeling trip we've ever had with another contact of hers. We did another day trip with Parmesh to see a botanical garden and a sustainable cacao farm. Lisa and Parmesh recommended we add a stop at a hot spring which I had written off due to outdated information found online, but it was definitely worth seeing and another good reason to use local expertise. On days we didn't leave the property, we were still busy exploring the huge garden and the beach. Lisa and Roy let us use their kayaks and transported them for us, and even organized a Fijian cooking lesson and meal with a local woman as our teacher. We had great educational and cultural experiences without having to go anywhere. Would definitely recommend this location for Worldschoolers, vacationing families, or couples. The house is well equipped and very comfortable, with good airflow so we didn't even need AC. Only one bedroom, but arranged cleverly so we didn't feel at all crowded as a family of four. Really can't say enough good things about this stay.

Hidden paradise & absolute solitude
When my partner and I arrived at the Sekawa Beach Cottage, we immediately wondered aloud why we hadn't booked a stay here for the entirety of our trip. The cottage is better than the photos, and the kindness and generosity of Lisa and Roy is incomparable. It was at this point in our trip that we finally were able to relax because every detail of the house supported that goal. The beach is a short 10-min walk and is breathtaking; you can truly walk miles/kms in either direction. There are kind local people that greet you, or wonderfully friendly dogs that join you on your stroll. And the gardens that Lisa and Roy have created make your views absolute paradise. The surrounding land is unspoiled and bursting with animal and plant life. We feel so lucky to have experienced this beautiful place, and to have met Lisa and Roy; by the end of our time, we felt like family. And they are very respectful of safety during the pandemic! We cannot wait until our next opportunity to return to this absolute gem of a place.

we had all the fruit we could eat and more. hard for those in the northeast to imagine all the fresh produce available in February. Besides the property being well maintained, very clean, the major plus for us was the flexible check in, check out policy. We arrived very early and stayed late into afternoon the day we left. That was no problem at all. Hosts always available with many helpful suggests on vacation plans.

Sekawa is a hidden paradise!
The guest house is wonder. Very clean and inviting. The California king size bed was extremely comfortable after a day of hiking, swimming in the ocean, and walking on the powder sand beach looking for shells just down the hill from the rental. I really enjoyed seeing our first orange dove from the guest house deck and parrots while walking to the Savusavu bay. The owners Lisa and Roy are very helpful and have great knowledge on what the area has to offer. They are very kind and always ready to answer a question on where to go or what to see. I’m so glad Lisa told us of the waterfalls trek in the neighboring village. It is gorgeous, and a must see. The village people are very sweet and have beautiful hand made jewelry to sell. Thank you Lisa and Roy for a wonderful stay in your guest house! We will be back!

The property itself is an absolutely breathtaking jungle garden. Beautiful landscaping and a fabulous cottage. The views from the wraparound deck of the gardens and the ocean are stunning! The cottage has such a homey feel, you are comfortable as soon as you walk through the doors. The beach ,which is a short walk away, is stunning . The hosts, Roy and Lisa make you feel as though you arrive as a guest, but you leave as a friend. They are both willing to share their knowledge of the area and happy to help out with suggestions of places to see and things to do while staying in Fiji.

Amazing stay - highly recommend it!
Lisa & Roy's property is absolutely beautiful, and the amount of love they've put into making it a peaceful and relaxing place to stay is very obvious! Everything we needed was at the place for us when we arrived - lots of kitchen gear to cook full on meals; a great setup in the bedroom (huge bed + a/c); and comfy hangout areas in both the living room and the outdoor patio (where we spent a majority of our time!) Lisa & Roy were both extremely helpful throughout our stay, too. They helped us book excursions, gave us tips on restaurants to try out in town, and gave us directions for where to do grocery shopping and the like. It was such a pleasure to meet them and get to spend time with them! We rented a car, which was really helpful to get into town and explore the island. There are also great walks right from the cottage - we went running and walking along the paths and roads every day we were there. If you're looking for a relaxing place to stay that's tucked away in the beautiful Fijian forest and just a short walk to the beach, this is your place!

This return trip marked our 1 year wedding anniversary, and our second trip to Sekawa cottage. We cant say enough good things about the cottage, cleanliness of the entire property, friendliness of Roy and Lisa, or the beauty of the landscape surrounding, all the way to the beach. Our trip went so flawless for a second time and greatly in part to the quick help whenever needed from the hosts. Fishing with my new friend Ted was a great highlight that was set up for us by them. Such a great value for the area, book with Sekawa and you will be on Fiji time in no time

An Island Paradise
Roy and Lisa are charming and gracious hosts in this idyllic spot on Savusavu. The cottage with its wide veranda is a perfect window into the lush, tropical environment. It is designed with comfort in mind and has all the necessary appliances and furniture. Roy and Lisa arranged for a local guide to take us to a Fijian village and see a magnificent waterfall. They also took us into town for groceries and pointed out the best restaurants. If you don't have a car, it's easy to get a cab into town for $10 USD. The private beach is a short walk away and is a nice place to watch the sunset. This is a perfect spot to learn about Fiji and its wonderful people.

Perfect beach house for nature lovers !
What a great place ! The house is really perfect - very clean, comfortable, well equipped and beautifully decorated with Fijian art. The large balcony overlooks an impeccable garden, which is surrounded by native forest, making it a perfect retreat for nature lovers. Bird life is abundant and colourful, and more than a third of all the species we observed here are endemic to Fiji, meaning that they can’t be seen anywhere else on the planet. Our hosts, Lisa and Roy are very knowledgeable, resourceful, attentionate and helpful. They did everything necessary, and more, to make our stay as pleasant and enjoyable as can be. Sekawa beach is 800 metres away from the house and it is virtually private. In our three week stay, we seldom encountered anyone there, except for the occasional group of local women fishing in the shallow waters. Weather permitting, sea kayaking in the bay and snorkeling on the neighbouring reef are not to be missed, and are included at no extra cost ! Savusavu town is 18 km away and is accessible by taxi or bus, if you don’t have a car. There is a local market, as well as a few grocery stores, restaurants and shops. We were fortunate enough to get a few lifts in town from Lisa and Roy, when they had business there. We are very grateful for all they did for us during our stay and we warmly recommend their place.

Awesome Spot!
My sister and I have visited about 14 of the top snorkeling spots in the World so when I started researching Fiji I want a lot of things; a small house with a kitchen, walking distance to snorkeling, (a place that had excellent reviews); an opportunity to get some exercize. That is exactly what we found at this place, plus excellent hosts that brought us fruit smoothies, fresh pineapple, bananas. Oh, and because we've been to the top snorkel spots we know that AC in your bedroom is key to a good's night sleep. Roy and Lisa also have contacts to take you to a Fiji village and waterfall. You can see pictures of the waterfall in their pictures. If you want to kayak or do other water sports they can arrange that as well. Fiji, what can I say, from shopping at the market in Savusavu to the excellent Taxi service it really is an unbelievable experience.

We were very comfortable at this lovely cottage. We spent a lot of time on the deck, watching the birds. After two weeks, we'd added 17 new species to our life lists. Roy and Lisa are gracious, friendly hosts, and since they lived on site, they were always available for any help or suggestions they thought we might enjoy. The trip into town was a twenty to twenty-five minute drive, but taxis are cheap and the scenery is lovely.

Womderful home in a lovely quiet location
This is a very nice nome in a quiet location nearby a beautiful shared beach. The homeowners who live in the adjacent house are very kind and thoughtful people. The quiet small community is very nice. The property is cery tranquil. It does require a rental car or a taxi to get in to Savusavu (perhaps 20 minites drive), but rental cars are available in town and that is what I would recommend for visitors who are not nervous about driving, although it is a dark road after nightfall. I just wish I could have stayed longer!
