Absolute Beachfront Holiday Cottage with Private Saltwater Pool on Savusavu Bay

Location, Location, Location!! Imagine relaxing on a beautiful secluded mile long beach all to yourselves! We are Absolute Beachfront (not across a busy, noisy road or up a hill.)

Our holiday bungalow cottage with large private saltwater pool is located in lovely Sekawa Beach Estate, a small park-like estate hidden a half mile from the main road and tucked away along a mile long secluded beach on the north shore of picturesque Savusavu Bay on Fiji's second largest and virtually undiscovered island of Vanua Levu. Take a step back in time and discover the tropical beauty and peacefulness of a 'hidden paradise' that most visitors never see!

Awaken to a chorus of tropical birds and gentle waves lapping just steps from your bungalow cottage. Gaze at the tranquil waters of lovely Savusavu Bay from your bed or take an early morning stroll along the long powdery soft sand beach to hunt for interesting shells.


Enjoy a refreshing dip in your large 11' X 21' private saltwater pool or the shallow warm waters out front in Savusavu Bay. Take a peaceful walk through our beautifully landscaped tropical gardens and lily ponds and spy some of Fiji's most colorful birds such as the Collared Lory, Fiji Parrotfinch, and Fiji's rare Orange Dove. Snorkel at colorful coral reefs teeming with tropical fish just offshore in Savusavu Bay or kayak up the nearby Nasekawa River, floating past virgin jungle and small native settlements. The rest of the day can be spent lounging on the large verandah or relaxing in our oversized lover’s hammock under the palms as the gentle breezes lull you into total relaxation. Enjoy a relaxing massage given out in the beachfront bure with only the sounds of waves & birds in the background. Take a nap, read a book or just watch the clouds drift by.

Do as much or as little as you like! Our traditional Fijian 'bure' is the perfect place to end each day with 'happy hour' spent watching a spectacular sunset framed by the surrounding jagged volcanic peaks as the lights of Savusavu twinkle from across the bay and the Southern Cross rises in the clear starry sky.

Staying with us offers you the rare opportunity to personally meet the friendly Fijian villagers that often come to the beach to fish for their daily catch. It is a truly memorable sight watching a group of ladies fish with their large nets or float by on a bamboo 'bilibili' raft, just as their ancestors have done for hundreds of years. The ladies will be delighted to show you how they weave a basket, hat or fan from a palm frond.

Enjoy peace & quiet! Our bungalow cottage is on town power so there is no constant generator hum. However, we do have generator back up if power should go out briefly.

If your idea of the perfect getaway is to 'entertain each other' rather than 'be entertained' our relaxing Tropic Splendor beachfront cottage is the ideal place to enjoy your Fiji holiday!

Fantastic Holiday
Alex and Avi were wonderful hosts, from allowing early check-in to offering trips into the Bay on their boat. I had plenty of space to read and relax in the guesthouse, with Savusavu’s main street an easy 20 minute taxi ride away (they have a driver they use who they can call on your behalf). I had free use of sea kayaks, and I paid Alex to take me on a snorkeling trip near a sand bar. I recommend booking here!

A little slice of heaven
My husband and I stayed here for 15 days. Alex And avi were absolutely perfect host and a little bonus with their two boys. Everything that was stated on their website was there and more. The property was beautiful, well manicured, ponds and tropical flowers and trees. There’s also kayaks there available for the guests we took a vantage of them we went out, snorkeling and kayaking on the coast. We got massages in the Palapa by an amazing local lady. Alex took us out for a snorkeling trip on his boat to Sand Island. It was so much fun. Definitely recommend it. The pool was a wonderful feature to have. We enjoyed it in the afternoons almost daily. The beaches in front of the property are amazing. We walk them every morning and evening. Lots of shells. We did a dive trip with Alex and he videoed us and sent us a beautiful video of it. We really appreciated it so much. Thank you Rossi family for making us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back. We feel that we left with new friends.

Peaceful location
Avi and Akex are great hosts and we enjoyed chatting with them and their lovely boys. We are divers and absolutely fell in love with nimena, natewa, and rainbow reef. We like to cook for ourselves AND HAVE A PEACEFUL Place to return. Tropical Splendor was really beautiful and the evening beach walks with hundreds of bats emerging to forage is splendid. We were unfortunate with the weather as it rained almost everyday except 3 of the 21 days we were there. The drive to diveboats was 30 mins to 1 hour... over really bad roads. For this reason divers be aware, you are not on location. In addition, the internet is terrible, so do not plan to work from vacation if you need internet. In addition, the dishwasher does not work. However the beauty, peacefulness, and responsiveness of avi and alex still earned my 5 stars overall. Be happy and relaxed in this beautiful place. Sit everywhere on the property and have a proper good time!!

The property was very clean. Bed was large and very comfortable. Our hosts were great. We hate to be negative but.... Internet was intermittent at best, and we had a business to deal with. This was a daily frustration. We found the property very dark inside and as we read a lot this was a big negative for us. Not a sharp knife to be found which made cooking difficult. Our second week on Savu Savu at another equivalent place was less than half the price and better in many ways. There was no pool but many other extras including excellent internet and laundry and cleaning service available. So although lovely hosts not good value for money.

Tropical getaway
Nice, fully self contained cottage set a few steps from the beach amongst tropical gardens and Lilly ponds. The area is peacefull, and we enjoyed having the sandy beach virtually to ourselves. We snorkelled down the eastern end amongst coral and fish. The hosts were friendly and welcoming; Alex is involved in coral restoration, and can take guests out to see this and to other outer reef snorkeling sites for a fee. Thanks for a lovely stay.

We were celebrating a very special occasion. We wanted a beautiful, unique, memorable vacation to celebrate it. We got one. Thank you Alex & Avi for making your beautiful cottage available to us, and for your hospitality. We simply can't say enough good things about our stay. Want the sound of the waves to lull you to sleep every night? You'll get it here. Want to sit on the huge roofed porch and watch a tropic storm go by? Check. Stargazing on the beach...you got it. It's gorgeous, very quiet, very private, and extremely relaxing. Town is a shortish taxi ride away when you need to go in, but you're in another world at the cottage. If you're looking for something other than the resort experience in Fiji, STAY HERE. You will not be disappointed. I would like to add that if you are at all into birds - even a casual interest - the area around the cottage is outstanding birdwatching. We saw a dozen or more species endemic to Fiji, including the orange dove!

Beautiful getaway we LOVED it!
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful beachfront property in Savusavu, and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the peaceful atmosphere and tranquility of the surroundings. The property was nestled in beautifully landscaped gardens that just oozed with tropical charm – it was incredibly relaxing to spend time wandering around and taking in the sights and sounds. Speaking of sounds, we absolutely loved hearing the waves at night. It was such a soothing soundtrack to drift off to sleep to! One of the best things about this property was that we essentially had the beach all to ourselves. We loved spending lazy afternoons lounging on the soft sand and soaking up the sun, all without any crowds or noise to disturb us.The interior of the property was just as impressive as the exterior – everything was clean, well-maintained, and incredibly comfortable. We appreciated the attention to detail in the décor and furnishings, and felt right at home from the moment we unpacked our bags. Of course, no review of this property would be complete without mentioning our wonderful hosts, Alex and Avi. They were warm, welcoming, and eager to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We felt like we were staying with old friends, rather than strangers! Finally, we have to give a special shout-out to the boat and snorkeling trip to Alex's coral restoration site. It was truly a one-of-a experience.

Honeymoon in SavuSavu, Fiji
My wife and I had the most amazing, magical, private honeymoon at the cottage of Alex and Avi. The tropical splendor cottage was beautiful, comfortable, and private. We enjoyed going to the local market in town to buy fresh fish and vegetables to bring back to cook at the cottage. The flat is very well decorated, cozy, and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. We really appreciated the A/C unit in the house because the weather in Fiji tends to get very hot and humid. The property and landscaping is very beautiful and well manicured. The beach in front of the cottage is gorgeous and private. My wife and I would walk down the beach for 45 minutes to an hour and not see one person. The internet inside the house is very spotty, so we would take our phones and laptop down to the beach where there is better reception when we needed to check messages, send email, etc. We really wanted a honeymoon where we could go somewhere that was private and spend our time alone together. We have two small children so this was our first real trip alone together. Alex was extremely friendly, helpful, and offered to take us out on his boat and a variety of excursions. He was also very kind and understanding that the two of us for the most part wanted to just hang out alone together. We really fell in love with Savusavu and the Fijian people and culture. We highly recommend the tropical splendor cottage. Alex and Avi are lovely people and have a beautiful family. Thank you!

not possible to write how beautiful (and how fortunate) we were to stay at avi & alex's home. it was beyond incredible... everything everyone writes in their reviews about this home is all true, especially the parts where they cannot speak enough to the tranquility, the peacefulness and the graciousness of the hosts avi & alex. my husband and i have been fortunate to travel many times (since we were little kids) to the south pacific having family and friends spread throughout... now, as adults (early 50's), besides visiting loved ones, we are always searching for a place of our "own" to stay that's more like we knew as kids, not a big resort, more away from the grid, where time moves slower, the pace more peaceful (we live in venice beach) a place more private, and it is SO lovely it makes your heart hurt to leave. this home, this place is our MOST favorite we've ever been to. it's the perfect respite to reset the soul. we hope to return next year for a longer visit & watch some sailing for certain : ) we cannot thank our hosts enough. to avi, alex and master sailer ethan and future sailer axel.. Malo Aupito & thank you !!! (and because i'm OCD and believe in writing a teeny bit on logistics.. just a few notes ... bring a few of your own shopping bags - SO helpful/vital to cut down on local shops, markets and their plastic bag usage, "chico" style is perfect, they're tiny, and whether supermarket, fresh veggies, or even fresh fish you can wash out and they dry so fast. bring a water bottle, avi/alex are genius and have access to Spring Water, they have SAFE BOTTLED spring water, we didn't buy one plastic water bottle during our stay. turkish style beach towels are light/fast dry for off beach/water getaways - the property provides plenty of linens but traditional towels are bulky/heavier to pack on adventure jaunts... i can never get my husband out of the water, wet towels follow him everywhere, so turkish towels are a must!! we hope you have a blast!!)
