Maravu Taveuni Lodge

WE spent 2 nights with my 8 Years old daughter, and WE really appreciate our stay. All the staff IS so nice and helpfull. The réception and restaurant/bar staff, Kali and the cleaning lady, all were smiling and caring ! Thé room was so Big , and my daughter likes so much thé bed with the "moustiquaire" 😉 You feel liké you are all alone cause all the room are well distanced. Thé beach is juste on the other side of the road. WE recommand 200% !! And WE wish WE could stay longer ..

My friend and I stayed at Maravu for 12 nights. We were only booked there for the first 5 nights of our vacation but loved it so much we decided to stay for the entire trip. The modest accommodations (bures) were always very clean, the beds very comfortable, and the grounds (which include a nice pool) are well maintained and stunningly beautiful. The food is great, always fresh, and ample portions. The staff welcomed us like family and we grew to adore them. The atmosphere is so welcoming that we had the opportunity to meet many people from all around the world. The staff offer a Kava ceremony each night where one can spend time getting to know other travelers while listening to Rafa, Kali, and Russa playing guitar and singing sweet songs. If it is quiet time you need the bures are very private and spacious to hang out in. The staff also organizes and offers a guide (Rafa or Kali) for day trips to a coastal walk, a waterfall hike and a natural water slide. These were so much fun and we felt well taken care of every step of the way. There are two dive shops close by to choose from and the diving was amazing. I highly recommend staying at Maravu, we had a wonderful time and plan to return. Many thanks to (sorry if I have misspelled names) Laisani, Kara, Mari, Beky, Onnie, Rafa, Kali, Russa, and also the nighttime guard (we always felt very safe). Your welcoming nature and attentiveness made our stay at Maravu a wonderful experience and we can't wait to return.

I stayed here for 4 nights while staying in Taveuni. Really lovely feel to the place. Not super fancy but also clean and pretty. The lodge does do its own tours but they need a minimum number of 4 people to go ahead (makes sense). On the day i wanted to do the coastal walk, nobody else had booked on. I really wanted to go so i payed extra to go by myself. Rafa was my guide and he was fabulous. Always so attentive and making sure i was ok. You have to cross a river on the coastal walk and depending on recent rainfall.. it can get a little tricky. Rafa you should become a motivational speaker! "you can do it tasha!' i kept hearing behind me!. A wonderful day. Rafa also helped organise a birding tour for me with a local guy in the area. Loved this too. Regarding the lodge (and its been commented on a lot of times) is that there is no electricity during the day. It doesnt really affect you at all, unless you need to use the bathroom. Luckily i had a head torch! Perhaps there could be a solar light put in there during the day? All in all, great. Would recommend 10/10

Our group of 14 loved our stay at Maravu. The staff was extremely helpful. The dorms and bures were clean and comfortable. The only reason my review isn't 5 stars is because their generator broke while we were there, limiting electricity and internet access to only the main lodge.

Very welcoming hotel, both for holidayers & backpackers Friendly staff and really helpful I was solo backpacking and they were fantastic with me. I met loads of people on all different types of trips but who all had a great time 100% recommend Bula

Staying at Maravu was easily one of the highlights of my Fiji trip. Everyone went out of their way to make sure I was able to see and do everything I wanted to. On my first day, Rafa took me all over the island to all the sites I wanted to see, and he was a constant friend during my whole stay, which I extended twice because I was enjoying it so much. Cale and Cara were also so warm welcoming- they really made me feel at home when I was halfway around the world and traveling solo. Kava and karaoke at night were some of the best times I had in Fiji. I would 100% stay here next time I come to visit Teveuni.

I've been travelling around Fiji for the past 2.5 weeks and my time at Maravu was easily one of my top highlights. The location is beautiful and the staff helped to create an amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend the snorkeling trip to Qamea Island with Mateo, Kali and Bali. Diva's food is fantastic. And finally the biggest of shout outs to my brother Rafa!

The checked in receptionist girl was very helpful. If I’m not mistaken her name was Maliana and the security guy was Kali…. two very kind people that made my stay pleasant. On the other hand the one that checked me out was rude and didn’t really listen to my complaint. Her name was Lavinia. I suggest that you do something about her attitude because its people like her that makes me or guests don’t want to stay at your place. Thanks for the checked in receptionist Maliana and Kali that I wouldn’t mine returning because of their friendly personality. When I first checked in Sept 20-22, I asked who the manager was and Kali pointed out to a guy and I think he said his name was Samu. I was surprised when I checked out and asked to see the manager and the lady said she’s the one and her name was Lavinia. I told her I have a concerned about them not letting my guest come up to my room after leaving a message with Maliana that I will be waiting for my guest which she said Ok . Anyway, the problem could be easily solve if that Lavinia would be more understanding, and listen to the complain from the guest. Anyway, that was the only unpleasant experience I had so I suggest to please talk to Lavinia to treat your customer with listening ears instead of trying to be defensive and think she knows it all. Vina’a va’a levu.
