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.

Summary: What an amazing hidden gem. The location and the property is wonderful. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with us. All communication was quick and helpful. Robert and Vinna were excellent property managers and offered assistance when we needed. The island itself is beautiful (so many butterflies and birds!). Top food recommendation is Kai Time - their food is delicious.

Summary: Vale Sekoula is beautifully managed with stunning gardens, spectacular views and everything you will need to enjoy this piece of paradise. The owners were great to work with, promptly answering any questions we had. Vinna and Robert, the caretakers, were so kind and welcoming and made sure our stay was perfect. Robert was able to take us to see some amazing local places and shared lots of information about the Fijian islands and culture. A highlight was the day he took us out snorkelling at the rainbow reef. After we returned we had an amazing dinner at the house made by Vinna. Do try her fish tacos! The pool, kayaks and standup paddle boards were great to have. The kitchen was well equipped making it easy to cook most of our own meals. The two small stores down the road have most things. We did have Robert take us into Somosomo to pickup some extra produce from the local market stands. There are a few restaurants within walking distance that were all great. Be sure to go to Coconut Grove for a delicious fish curry. There is no question that if we ever visit Fiji again we will definitely be coming back to Vale Sekoula. We had an amazing time and loved our stay. Vanaka Tony, Katie, Vinna and Robert!

Summary: Third stay at Vale Sekoula. Loved it as always. Fourth visit already scheduled…Fifth visit already scheduled (2026)! What can I say that I haven’t already said? The only difference this year was the 2nd bathroom, which was done very nicely. Awesome! Won't stay anywhere else! Respectfully, Adam

Summary: Bula! Our group of 4 stayed at Vale Sekula for 10 amazing nights. Everything was exactly as we expected. We walked from the Airport to the house where Robert met us and showed us around the house. We spent most of the time at the house, in the pool enjoying the view. We used the provided kayaks to paddle out to the 3rd island (Honeymoon Island) and snorkeled (amazing snorkeling!). We also got a taxi (Joe, who was awesome) to take us to the natural rock water slides, Lavena Coastal Walk and Bouma Waterfalls. The kitchen is well stocked and we actually cooked several dinners ourselves. I could go on and on about how amazing the house, property and locals are but I suggest everyone just go an experience it for themselves. Vanaka Tony and Katie for having us at Vale Sekula!

Summary: This place is a dream. We gave this property five stars across the board but it deserved six at least (out of five). The location? Stunning. The layout? Open and breezy. The view? Spectacular. The local people? Warm, kind, and gracious. The diving was fantastic, Rainbow Reef is one of the best in the world, and Salt Dive is amazing (see my google review). We’re already planning our next trip back.

Summary: We enjoyed a marvelous visit to Taveuni. Our stay at Vale Sekoula was everything we could have hoped for - great location, top-notch amenities and a superb level of service. The communication and support from the property owners was the best I've ever had in a rental, and the local support team was super helpful and welcoming. Taveuni is beautiful, and we did some remarkable scuba diving and snorkeling. I would love to return!

Summary: Simply wonderful home in a great location, the views are beautiful! The caretakers, Vinna and Robert, were great and helped us in so many ways and can even cook dinners for you and deliver them to the house, which was great as there were not many restaurants open in the off season when we were there. Vinna was so caring and comassionate when one of our party became ill she accompanied her to the hospital and back to the villa. I also had mistakenly left a carry-on item at the Nadi airport and Vinna sent her cousin to retrieve it and arrange it to come to the island on the flight the next day. The villa also has kyacks available to use which was a great day trip out to some close by islands. We took advantage of them and packed a lunch and our snorkeling gear and headed out. The snorkeling around island 3 & 4 was fantastic and island three has a small beach and we had it all to ourselves.

Summary: Here's the deal: Very friendly home, neatly kept, phenomenal location, great views, fantastic new deck over the water, appropriately priced, well-equipped, etc., etc. This was our 2nd stay at Vale Sekoula and we booked our 3rd for next year before we left LAX for this visit. I highly recommend this property. If it were mine to manage, I would not change anything...other than plan to visit more frequently than we do. Respectfully, Lisa and Adam
