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.

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.

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

I have traveled the world for 50 years+ and never had a nicer experience with a vacation rental. Thank you Lisa and Roy and Rececca and Kulu and Laura for all your kindness.

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.

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!

The cottage was everything we had hoped for!! Lovely people, beautiful surroundings and very peaceful. The drive into SavuSavu was not long at all. We enjoyed everything about it.
5.0
The cottage is lovely, spacious and well appointed and maintained with lush, colorful grounds and excellent bird watching from the veranda. Appreciated the kitchen, laundry, and entertainment facilities, and especially the owner's, Roy and Lisa's, fabulous hospitality and kindness. We enjoyed the beach, river trip, and children's mekke, too. Much more than simply renting a vacation cottage! This has been much more like visiting long time friends for a great new adventure. Highly recommend the Fishing Charter for bombastic hook-ups and great take-downs in true tropical fishing style! This has been a must return soon experience, never to forget. MASSIVE RESPECT to Roy and Lisa! Susun and Monty
