25 November 2023Short version: A unique place built with soul. A wonderful place to stay in Taveuni - away from the big resorts, embedded in nature with a wonderful view. Clean, safe, eco-friendly,... read more with lots of things to do. The owner Allen is an amazing guy, very communicative and helpful. Long version: Camp Taveuni was our base camp for 9 nights in October 2023. It gave us an unparalleled experience. Originally we planned only 5 nights, but we felt home away from home so we decided to stay longer. * Location 5 Minutes drive from the airport - Allen picked us up and dropped us off without hesitation. There is one dive-center in walking distance. The dive-center we chose (because they highly value safety standards) is approximately 15' by car - the dive-center will transfer you for free from just down the road (5') of Camp Taveuni. There are at least two good restaurants in walking distance. * Accomodation We booked the large Bure with the privat bathroom. It was very clean, cozy and spacious - there is a sofa, two armchairs, a table and 4 chairs as well as a wardrobe. There are also other valuable options, so as a small bure with a bunkbed and a private bathroom. Large domes (as dorms) and small dorms (with double bed), both with shared bathroom. * Hygiene Everything was flawlessly clean, the tap water is totally safe to drink. There is only cold water available but who cares - it's hot anyway. You will meet insects and geckos but that is only logical because you are surrounded by lush nature. * Food The owner cooks very well! Give it a try! You won't stay hungry, the food is highly recommended. If you feel like going out - there are at least two restaurants in walking distance. * Programs available (to name a few): If you have time, you can easily spent some days just chilling around in Camp Taveuni, having fun (and a couple of beers) at the pool. Take your time to relax. For programs outside Camp Taveuni Allen is very helpful and organized everything for us - from driver to reservation at the dive-center. Possible program: - Diving/snorkeling at the Rainbow Reef is a must. We have never seen such a rich coral reef before. - The Lavena Coastal Walk and the 3 Tavoro Waterfalls can be combined into a single day trip. - The water slides are also reachable by a quick car ride. - Kayaking to your own secluded island! Don't miss it. * Security: The two guard dogs Xena and Zoe are perfectly trained and keep you safe! Allen is also on site 24/7. You can easily walk around after dark (in the Matei-area) - there were no issues. Safe for female solo travellers too. * Owner: Allen is a well-travelled, intelligent and warmhearted person, who built everything on his property on his own with love and lots of work. He really is such a nice person with good values! Our best evenings were spent in his company, sitting by the fire, talking until late. Just tell him, if you need anything - he gives you a solution or tells clearly, if it is not in his power to achieve something.

Me & my partner stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it! We had a double dome with shared bathroom, the facilities are all clean and lovely, the dome... read more has a bed and cabinet, it’s not massive in there but we loved it, it’s cosy & quirky! Alan was a wonderful host, he’s super chilled and works his kitchen to suit you which is great, the food provided was lovely & he always kept the fridge stocked with beers too! The pool is lovely & deep with a beautiful view of the ocean! We could have easily stayed here longer it was so peaceful! His dogs Zena & Zoe are so cute too! I can’t thank Alan and his lovely staff enough for our stay here, it was perfect & great value for money! There is the option for a bbq and a fire pit which we did, id definitely suggest you do this, we had a few beers around the fire pit topped off with some great bbq food!
