나베리아 하이츠 로지(Naveria Heights Lodge)

Bula bula Wow!!! We stayed at the Naveria Heights Lodge for 3 night and we wish we would have stay longer. What a fantastic experience! The Lodge in on a hill over looking the Pacific ocean and the town of Savusavu, the view is spectacular. We stayed in the Queen room which was extremely comfortable, clean, ceiling fan and AC, very high quality linen bed sheet, conforter and towells. Awesome plunge pool with a spacious deck that comes around to a relaxing area to enjoy your healthy breakfast, have romantic moments or even catch up on your computer work or meditate. Amazing Sharon is very attentive to her guests' needs and so knowledgeable about the medicine of the land and nutrition. We love Sharon and Micheal who took us on adventure tours, he is fun and so knowledgeable. Restaurants near by walking distance of 20 minutes. The gravel road to get up the hill is steep and we walked it up and down 3 times per day, great work out. You have an option to take a 4X4 transportation to go up and down for a small fee. This was a trip of a lifetime, we will be back soon. Grateful for it all, thank you Sharon and Micheal and the Fijian team!!! Vinaka Vakalevu, Sota tale !

There are not enough words for me to truly paint the picture that Naveria Heights deserves. The view is breathtaking Sharon, the owner, is a truly lovely soul who ensures that all her guests have an outstanding stay. Our room was lovely. The bed very comfortable, with excellent air conditioning to make our sleep blissful. Sharon also runs excursions from Naveria Heights Lodge. They were fantastic and well priced. Breakfast is included. Sharon, is a nutritionist and her breakfast are filled with the freshest fruit imaginable, granola, eggs but no meats. I didn't miss it because everything was so tasty and healthy. Great combination. There is definitely a hill to climb part way with a staircase the remainder of the way. It is a 200 foot climb/decent but if you take your time it is easily done if you are in decent shape. If not Michael can transport you for a fee. The same as a taxi from town. This is the longest review I've ever done. I'm writing it because I'm passionate to share an experience. It's not your everyday hotel. It's so much more. My wife and I will return and I hope those who read this review step up and say yes to one of the best experiences you'll have.

We read the reviews about Navaria Heights and there is a lot of truth in all of them. Yes it is up a steep climb. Yes there are a lot of mosquitos Yes the bed wasn’t the most comfortable. But…it’s how you look at it that makes the difference. We embraced the climb and it is do-able. We enjoyed that it was making us fit. We wore bug spray. No big deal. We have to do that where we live in summer also. We still managed to sleep even though the bed wasn’t great. We didn’t go to Fiji to sleep, we went to explore and scuba dive and snorkel. Other positives - The views were amazing! The staff were beautiful, friendly, accommodating, attentive and welcoming. The dinner, which you can ask for, was plentiful and delicious and they accommodated dietary needs. If you love animals, Zues the dog, is friendly and you can take him for a walk around the mountain top. He knows the way! The place does need a bit of love but it is what you make it. The rooms would benefit from some local Information in them and also what dinners were available. We enjoyed our stay and had a positive experience there.

We were so well looked after by the staff, Sarita made beautiful food and juices and made sure we were ready to face the working day. The rooms and views are amazing and our driver Michael made sure we got to where we needed to go. I would reccomend Naveria Heights as a relaxing retreat after a long day at work.

For those interested, here's a rundown of our Detox Naveria Heights Lodge. (Pretty long post - so hang in there). Over the last few years, I have become a big fan of cleanses. In today's world, we have so much going on. We have a kids, work, relationships, finance pressures plus pollution from living in cities, a food system that is quite processed, a few too many wines, after those weeks ! I think at some point, I worked out that I wanted to shape up for my retirement and my pending (hoping for) grandchildren, so I have prioritised detoxes. I typically do them at the end of the season...in particular a longer one toward end of Autumn and another longer one, end of Winter and beginning of Spring. I do this, as I have become a little Ayurvedic groupie. In Ayurveda, it is believed, like nature, our bodies sort of recalibrate (like animals and plants do) and the season change is a weak point, when the body is internally changing somewhat to adapt to the new season. So, to bring in Spring(albeit in October), I signed up for a Fijian Detox...7 days, hosted by the fabulous Sharon Wild. The program for the first 3 days, was a bit of a flush...so shots of juices to cleanse and nourish, followed by amazing juices(freshly picked fruit and plant medicines). The first few days are also rest days, as the body is getting a little clean, it needs extra rest. The daily massages and gentle walks in the beautiful Savusavu, support the detoxification process. After the 3 days, food is slowly introduced, fresh fruit, fresh salads, nuts and my new fav coconut and dates. After Day 4, I felt good, so I was able to start exercising(moderately) and Sharon offers daily adventures....beautiful, fun and active tours. My experience, was smooth, as this is my 3rd cleanse and after the first, I eliminated red meat, became a mostly vegetarian (I love lentils) and dropped coffee as I had the energy without it. I also dropped 7 kgs, around 18 months (I call it my inflammation belly) and don't drink near as much alcohol. I think having energy, less moodiness and overall being calmer, has helped my whole life....feedback from the family, is I am a very different(good different) mum. So...if you're curious, pls reach out to me or if you are thinking about a detox for your body, mind and soul, the Fijian paradise at Savusavu, is top notch....I wish I was still there :(

Amazing staff and property! Felt like home. Only a handful of rooms. Felt like we had our own private chef. Food is delicious and highly recommend ordering their meals. The staff couldn't have been nicer. Grounds are meticulously kept up. It's a steep driveway, but the views are incredible and worth it. Wish we could've stayed longer. Highly highly recommend.

Very embellished The small pool and mountain balcony views are shared amongst all (not private). Walls are thin, air con/fans barely work. Everything in the room was old and delicate. You can't eat in your room. There is no menu for anything. You can't buy bottled water and the rainwater supplied is actually driven up in a truck. The truck is not safe enough for children to ride in. And is the only option for getting to and from the lodge (at $15 per way). That said the staff are wonderful and kind, it was very clean. The views lovely. The rooms need to be upgraded and privacy/security upgraded. A menu offered. An actual safe (not a lockbox). And gates to prevent other guests walking in front of your windows. Fine for a night or 2 but too expensive for what you get.

We absolutely loved our two night stay in Savusavu. We also think that it is almost impossible to beat their included breakfast on the terrace. Sharon and her staff were lovely and treated us so nicely. We can warmly recommend to stay here for a couple of nights. It‘s very wonderful.
