More Information:
Matei is a beautiful little beach town. Vale Sekoula is a gated villa with lush tropical gardens. Our beach town is easy to get around with a few markets for groceries and a few restaurants in walking distance. You will really like Tramonto's restaurant and Coconut Grove restaurant which are on the water just minutes away. Taxis and buses are available to tour the island if you like. You can also rent your own car if you like. Our Villa is just a 3 min walk across to the runway for your convenience. roughly 2-3 planes a day arrive in Matei.
More highlights:
Free Kayaking from the house. Free Snorkel gear to use at the house. 2 Double Person Kayaks and 2 paddleboards. Paddle out to honeymoon island or hire our boat.
Amazing views, sandy beaches, waterfalls and some of the friendliest people on earth all make Taveuni an unforgettable experience. Your own private pool and beach, you really won't want to leave. There are 4 small islands just a short paddle from our villa where you can take the kayaks out to explore. On the third island you will find a nice white sand beach to pull up on and have a picnic or just relax, you will almost be guaranteed to have it all to yourself. (Honeymoon Island) The snorkeling from here is also very nice! We can arrange surf trips to one of the world famous surf breaks just a 30 minute boat ride from the house. Maqai is one of Taveuni’s most consistent surf breaks. If you prefer a scuba diving trip, we do offer the world famous rainbow reef dives. If you just want to relax and snorkel, we can schedule a wonderful snorkeling tour. Taveuni is also famous for its sports fishing for Tuna, Wahoo and many other catches of a life time. The house also has a small fishing boat if you prefer to have Robert our caretaker take you fishing, snorkeling or dolphin watching. Lots of waterfalls to explore, hiking and even a natural waterslide for those who love adventure. Come see and experience the real Fiji culture. Meet the village chief, present him with a gift and drink kava with the people. Learn the history, traditions, and customs of the locals. Visit a school or the beautiful church. You will fall in love with Taveuni Fiji.

Wow! So much to see and do on Taveuni. And Vale Sakoula is the ideal place to stay. Reasonably priced, and outstanding personal care from Vinna, our housekeeper.
Aggie was our guide for incredible excursions that are beyond description. Amazing hikes to waterfalls that were like hiking in Jurassic Park, but without the predators!
The climate is very warm and humid, so having our very own pool to cool off in made it so much better. And the pool is a great spot to catch a beautiful sunrise and moon rise.
The night sky provides incredible stargazing of stars and constellations I had never seen from the Northern Hemisphere. Only a quick walk down the steps to the shoreline and you will find kayaks waiting for you to adventure out to nearby islands were you can snorkel the beautiful coral reefs. And the snorkel gear is provided at the house for your use. The house is very comfortable and full of Fijian art. Don't worry about charging your laptop, phone, or camera, there are plenty converters available.
The local area has great places to eat, or you can pick up some food at a local store and cook in the fully equipped kitchen or gas barbecue. Or you can arrange for Vinna to cook for you. The locals are so friendly and go out of their way to take care of you. I did not want to leave. Put this on your bucket list!

Not sure how else to explain our stay at Vale Sekoula besides the 3 nights we stayed were nothing short of exceptional! Robert was at the airport to meet us and help us with our luggage just a extremely short walk (maybe 1 minute walk) to the home. Once we walked through the gate you could tell the pride/care that has gone into the landscaping and gardens. The house sits over looking the beautiful Pacific with absolutely stunning sun rises! This home has all the amenities you need. The binder provided also has a ton of great information in it as well from local attractions to places to dine out. Vinna who is also one of the care takers of the home can also prepare meals for you. Although we didn’t use this service but we definitely will the next time and thought this was just an added bonus. The view from the bedroom is breathtaking especially in the morning with the sun rises. You couldn’t ask for a better view or place. This is the best vacation home we’ve ever been too and will be returning! Venna shared tomatoes from her garden as well as offered to help with anything we needed to make our stay more enjoyable. It’s very nice that they provided water, fruit, towels, bug spray, and all the other necessities! Also, we enjoyed having the option of watching some of the dvds and/or books from the home! Thank you again!

Vale Sekoula was the perfect place for us to stay on Taveuni. Don't let the fact that there are not many reviews scare you away. This place is a slice of paradise. Located literally across the street from the airport it is in a good central location which is in between the Booma waterfalls and the sliding rock/main portion of the town. The caretaker Vinna is so kind and was so helpful at arranging rides and accomodations. We also had her cook a local Fijian meal one of the nights which was absolutely delicious. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous with access to a nice beach and 2 Kayaks that you can take out to the islands in the distance. One one of our mornings we took the Kayaks out to the third island and experienced some of the best snorkeling we had experienced in all of Fiji and for that matter in all of the world. If we would have had more time we would have loved to spend an entire day relaxing at the house and adventuring out to the various islands. The pool was also perfect to relax in and there is an amazing view from it. If you do stay make sure to turn off all of the lights one night and look at the stars. They were breathtaking with little to no light pollution. One thing to note is that there is no AC which means it can get warm at night, but because the island is so small I don't think you can really expect AC in most places you would stay. Ceiling fans are nice! Taveuni was our favorite island we went to in Fiji and we would highly recommend taking a trip to experience the beauty of it for yourself. Best, Jason

Beautiful view overlooking the ocean. Only a 2 minute walk from the airport. (Which there are max 2 flights a day so no disruption at all nearly). House is good, pool is great.

Other things to note:
You are probably already aware that Taveuni is a more rural tropical destination. There are chickens, roosters and a few dogs in Matei so it is likely you will hear them in the mornings or sometimes at night. Taveuni is the "garden isle" of the Fiji islands so a few rain showers during the day is not uncommon. Also keep in mind that Fiji is in the tropics so it is common to see Geckos around and every now in then in the house, but they are cute and harmless. We are on solar power, so quiet generators may kick on if needed, but they are far from the home in a small power house shed away from the house.
