Nabua Lodge

"Location, gardens, beach, activities, above all, staff. Meals good too"

"Ok, it’s very traditional and this means “basic”. But the rooms could be improved and the washing facilities really need an upgrade."

"Beautiful location calm, untouched and absolutely stunning. Staff and everyone around was very lovely and there to help. The view from the room was stunning. Room is basic but I don't mind that. Trips around were great and the Blue lagoon swim is a must. Lot of beautiful short hiking spots around."

"The sea in front is full of sea grass so you can only swim during high tides. Which is okay as water is clean and we spotted some beautiful fishes. As a vegetarian we starved coz there was absolutely no veg options. Most of the times we are boiled potatoes, boiled pasta or fruits (which were tasty). But overall food was the only thing that would stop me from going back. Not many activities. We were prepared for the house lizards and mosquitoes."

"We loved the FAMILY, thanks John! Aunt Lucis cakes and all the homemade dishes were great. The situation of the bure is excellent permits a lot of nice walkings. Everything was very clean."

"It was well maintained, the staff always kind, it was quiet and peaceful"

"Aucun."

"The staff and how peaceful it was! The food tasted homemade and big quantities"

"Wi-Fi was only accessible around the office area. The amenities are quite dated but they really make sure you’re okay and do everything to make you feel comfortable"

"Loved the location and cave trip. Meals were communal which was nice as a solo traveller. The room was spacious and clean."

"The staff didn’t really facilitate activities and activities had a minimum number of people for the activity to run, which meant if other people weren’t interested, you missed out."

"Very beautiful and idyllic, lots of hammocks to lie around. The bures are pretty simple and old but it’s comfortable. Meal plan is FJD 60pp for breakfast lunch and dinner - pretty yummy. We did a cave tour through them which was FJD 130pp which includes a nice half an hour boat ride each way. Cave had a big area for swimming and an underwater tunnel to a smaller dark cave, led there by the guides. At the beach near the limestone caves were local ladies selling touristy trinkets- needed cash Very friendly staff! There is also a beautiful sunset spot just a 10min walk up a little hill"

"This is a lovely little place, quiet and beautifully-situated. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is good - I had the best brinjal curry ever. I'd have eaten that 3 times a day but when I said that's what I wanted, I don't think they took me seriously ;) There are comfy hammocks for lazing and kayaks free to use; there's snorkelling just a stroll along the beach and a good hiking trail up to a viewpoint or right over to the Blue lagoon, then back along the beach. At mealtimes the tables are arranged to encourage mixing with other guests, which works well as it attracts a nice bunch of people. I loved my little bungalow with covered balcony and was very comfortable in there. I took the cave trip which was enjoyable. The boatman was very experienced and safe despite the crazy waves and rain."

"The weather was really bad during my 2 night stay unfortunately - nobody's fault - and I felt there could have been somewhere a bit more comfy to hang out indoors. The patio was completely rainwashed (and it was cold in the wind and rain!) and the chairs/tables in the dining room not really conducive to lounging around. Also it's clear that guests are expected to vacate the dining area straight after meals, especially dinner, with lights going out etc. It's fine, but a little comfy corner for socialising could make the difference."

"The food and the staff were incredible. Perfect location to relax and watch the world go by."

"Some in-room facilities need updating like the shower heads. B"

"We really appreciated that this property was much more affordable than others in the Yasawa Islands. While the accommodation is basic, it’s well-suited for families and provides everything you need. The food was excellent for the Yasawa - huge credit to the kitchen team! They even went above and beyond by making us a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful touch. The property runs on solar power, which adds to its charm and sustainability. Highlights of our stay included the fantastic snorkelling trip and a fun walk to the nearby village, where we enjoyed watching the local rugby team train."

"One aspect that could be improved is the dining experience - staff tend to clear everything, including the tablecloth, while guests are still seated and chatting, which can feel a bit rushed. Some of the snorkelling equipment, particularly the face masks and snorkels, could use replacing. Wi-Fi reception is also quite limited and could be more reliable and available 24 hours. I would strongly recommend making it a requirement for the snorkelling boat to carry proper steps. In deep water, it's quite difficult to balance on the outboard motor and pull yourself back into the boat safely. The nearby village bakery has a charming vibe, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be fully operational. On both of our visits, there was very little food available."
