Beautiful and quiet location, delicious food
We had the place to ourselves. It was peaceful and quiet right there on the river. The kingfisher bure was spacious enough for the four of us. The beds were comfortable, AC kept us cool at night, and the screens over the windows kept the bugs out during the day. We took advantage of the kayaking, tubing, and hand line fishing. Use of the kayaks was free; tubing on the river and hand line fishing had a reasonable cost attached. Kayaking and tubing down the river to the Salt Lake and back was beautiful in the early morning and at sunset, when the tide was going the right direction. Solo, the manager on location, also helped my son and me arrange a snorkeling tour to Split Rock with someone from his village, which they loved and was less expensive than what our second resort charged. One of the best things about the lodge was the chef, Hosea. The complimentary breakfast was pancakes with sliced bananas and a really good homemade coconut milk syrup that tasted like caramel, plus an attractive fruit plate. Hosea made scrambled eggs for my wife, since she eats gluten free. We asked him to also cook us lunch and dinner, since we weren't interested in cooking for ourselves on vacation. We picked one of the options he gave us, which all sounded good, and then he left to buy the ingredients. [Note: Having him cook lunch and dinner for the four of us was FJD100 total, plus the cost to buy the food (about FJD80 for the meals we chose) and a FJD30 transportation cost to town and back. Excellent value.] Both lunch and dinner were beautifully presented and delicious! We could see he was a professional, which he confirmed when he told us about his love of cooking and his history cheffing at some famous resorts in the area. Wished we could have stayed longer!
Even with the AC on, the loft with a queen bed was too warm, so my younger son just slept on extra pillows on the main level. The safe wasn’t working, but we were able to lock our room and felt like our things were safe enough that way, especially with how remote the place was and the minimal staff. If you go tubing, be aware that the tube left black marks on my swim shirt, but they came out with stain remover and a little scrubbing. Also, make sure to eat before you arrive or arrange in advance to have dinner prepared for you, as the staff goes home fairly early in the evening and the nearest restaurant, if it's open, is 15 minutes away, and the next closest is 30 min away in Savusavu.

Paradise Found!
We had an exceptional stay at Salt Lake Lodge. It was our last stop on our two week long island hopping tour of Fiji and we sure saved the best until last! It was the best service and food we had during our travels and we are already planning our return trip. For a small fee you can have a private chef cater to your interests and it was the best food we had in Fiji! Lilly and Simon took excellent care of us and we left feeling like family. The location of salt lake lodge is like something out of a fairytale - it is so relaxing, serene and has so many activities nearby. The fishing was fantastic! Thank you staff at Salt Lake a lodge, we will be back!
Didn't stay long enough!

Exceptional
The service and actual genuine bula we received was extremely beautiful. We had a wonderful greeting on arrival by solo and team. Our dinner was well prepared by Chef Osea and shared with the caretakers Lilly and Levaci. It was a home away from home for us, the beautiful room with the scenic view of the garden and river. Breakfast of home made Banana Muffins and the scrumptious pancakes. River tubing and boat ride by Osea 1 and Chef Osea on sunday was the best way to end our trip. If you're looking for something genuine, quiet and fijian. This is the place for you. We will be back. Sota Tale Fiona and Hamish

We really enjoyed our stay and loved the staff, Simon, Lily and the two Oscars.
The breakfast fruit plate was beautifully presented with a variety of fruit, followed by home made pancakes with coconut syrup. Delicious. The location is ideal - on an inlet leading to a salt water lake.
Improve the reading material in the library. The books are old and full of ants! It's great having kayaks - but they are not very comfortable.

Highly recommended.
Loved the remoteness and intimacy of the place with just two bungalows, and being able to Cook our own food at our leisure.
Wasn't able to swim as the current appeared to be swift.

Something you must experience!
Simply everything was super! But especially the staff, Lilly, Simon, Oscar and others, they made us feel welcome in every possible way! The location is like a jungle in fairy tale, the river with its flow changing the direction was something I had never seen before. The activities the lodge offered and the meals, hospitality.... You must go there to believe it's true!
That we didn't stay longer.
