Taveuni Breeze

The location and price.

Washroom is not within the room.

Beautiful newly built spot with friendly owners and a nice view. Built as an educational camp, but they also take bookings in between. Unique domes and a nice, deep pool.

Nothing.

They have a nice pool and a good view on the ocean. Marry was very nice and cooperative.

Allen was very grumpy 90% of the time and really stressed. The accommodation got cleaned every day only one day not... The Water was full of algee so i couldnt wash my cloth properly because the got green...even the shower and the "drinking valve..." he told us everyday another Story why it is so. The meals were ok but pricy...normaly between 20-30fjd even breakfast u could take 3-4pc of toast with Butter and marmelade for 6fjd or with eggs and bacon for 20...If u bring ur own food u cant put it in their frige and if u ask for a plate (just to borrow not to buy) or hot water you are getting charged for it. All in all it was ok but not worth the money like other accommodations (lavena, maravu)

Facilities, ocean views

If you're looking to spend some time on Taveuni, I'd highly recommend you check out Camp Taveuni. Hosts Allen and Mary were great. They made sure I was comfortable and even helped organise a taxi for me to visit the Bouma and Lavena falls. The Place itself is really lovely - well maintained and clean! It's easily accessible from the airport and walking distance to the few restaurants in Matei. You'd be hard pressed to find a better valued stay on the island. Camp Taveuni offers dorms as well as single/double occupancy rooms. I stayed in the private room and it was great! Nothing fancy, a queen sized bed, a table with a few drawers and a fan to keep you cool. You don't need much more when you're here and living the island life. They also have a nice pool if you want to take a dip. The beach is a 10 minute walk from your room and you have a nice view of the ocean from the common area. They also have to cutest dogs (Xena and Zoe) and the sweetest cat (Miley). If, like me, you're missing your pets while you're traveling, having the cat and dogs around definitely helped! Overall a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Allen and Mary really made my trip to Taveuni special! It was great getting to know them and I'd highly recommend checking out Camp Taveuni! Vinaka Mary and Allen!

Our stay at camp Taveuni was a highlight for us on a long term trip. Allen & Mary are really attentive hosts, always asking if we needed anything and Alan was happy to lend a hand booking activities or a ride to any guests if he was on his way into Matei. On top of that he maintained a really laid back atmosphere at the resort, being really accommodating with meals (and they were great and affordable! - If you’re diving, get the muesli with local yogurt :)) & happy to share a beer and a good story or two! He’s built the place himself, and our dome was like a much-needed oasis from the heat of the day and sounds in the night that might wake us (roosters…). The bath facilities were spacious and clean, with great water pressure in the shower. Clean drinking water was provided and the view from the pool is lovely (the place is on a hillside with sea views). It’s up a hill off the main road, but it only takes ~5 min or less to go up or down. We really loved our stay here and met some other great backpackers. Would highly recommend it, it’s excellent value. Thanks so much Allen & Mary!!

Excellent host and value for Taveuni!

That we couldn't stay longer

A unique property set at the top of the hill in Taveuni with amazing views! A short track to access. The owner was very accommodating and a big rugby fan and happy to share his local knowledge!

Access a little bit tricky but seems that way for everywhere in Taveuni

Since the booking from Camp Taveuni was not cancelable, I stayed in both there and Maravu lodge, and was able to properly compare those two. I stayed in dorms both. They are 100 m away from each other. - Maravu lodge has hot water and AC in the dorms, camp Taveuni does not - Camp taveuni is more inside on a dirty road every time you go there you have to deal with 3 aggressive dogs from neighbor attacking you - Maravu lodge has kava ceremonies at night with guitar by local Fijian people, camp taveuni plays english music from a small speaker and Alan (expat owner) constantly asks you whether you want a drink, tour, or food in front of others. - Maravu lodge is bigger, has more people, lively meeting area where people freely roam and better internet connection - Mosquitoes eat you alive in Camp Taveuni - I asked for a knife to eat papaya in common area, later Alan comes and rebukes the employee who gave me the knife. Apparently we are not entitled to eat papaya in common area. He also booked wrong day for diving for my friend in the dorm. She missed diving the highlight of Fiji (the great white wall) since it can only be dived 2 days a month due to currents. No apologies given. There were many other cases only in 2 days time.  I would rather stay in a place with local character not managed by despotic owners if there are better alternatives.
