This is a great choice in SavuSavu. Sarita, who ran the place while we were there, was so kind and attentive. The breakfast she made us was fantastic as was a dinner on one evening .( the best meal of our stay in the area) It is located above town, without noise and traffic of but convenient enough for exploring. We arrived in a pre-arranged 4x4 taxi but, if you are willing to make the effort of walking up the hill which is a combo of dirt road and concrete steps that are fully illuminated at night ,it was challenge that we really enjoyed. After a little huffing and puffing, we relaxed with a quick shower and chilled on the terrace. Amazing. With incredible views of the harbor, the new marina, and the whole enclave of SavuSavu, the place is breathtaking. Plenty of food and drink options within walking distance. The rooms are extremely clean, plenty of space, interesting lighting with high quality local decor and materials. The very private outdoor shower and bathroom space connected to your room works very well. Inside/outside dining area on a spectacular terrace is a highlight. Plunge pool is a nice touch. We were super happy with our choice to stay at Naveria Heights.

vinaka for your review Marita,Our team at Naveria love to make our guests happy and thrilled when our guests have enjoyed their experience. Sarita is a gem and always has a smile to share. Her cooking is by far our favorite along with the love she puts into it. Good to hear you enjoyed the challenge of our famous hill and even more so the view at the top!Thank you once again!

Our stay at Naveria Heights Lodge was fantastic. The location is superb and the staff is one of the nicest we have seen in a while! We enjoyed the breakfasts and the room. The accommodation is positioned on a steeper hill, so you need 4x4 to get up there if you are planning to rent a car. It is a short walk to the town, however, you can ask for a driver to bring you to places if you like. Vinaka, we loved it! Nela & Stefan

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this resort in Savusavu, and I can't recommend it highly enough!
The climb really isn’t bad at all (6 minutes tops) and the breathtaking views that await you are absolutely worth every step.
Logically, if you have a weak knee or are late-stage pregnant, I would recommend a taxi but it was a welcomed bit of exercise for me since I just jumped in the plunge pool once I arrived.
Overlooking the waters of the bay and lush, tropical greenery, the panorama is nothing short of stunning. The sunset on my last day was one of the best I have ever seen.
Each morning, I looked forward to the delightful breakfast spread (I learned papaya and avocado are excellent together).
The air-conditioned rooms were a blissful retreat ensuring a comfortable and restful night's sleep - this is my weakness so might not be a big deal for you.
What truly sets it apart, though, is the staff.
Their warmth and hospitality made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived.
I even asked them about how to be a good husband and father since I had just learned I was going to be a dad before arriving and was a little nervous.

Bula Jesus,I am so happy that you enjoyed your stay at Naveria and have taken the time to write about your experiences. The walk up our hill has been perfectly explained by you and I am so happy you realized it was not that bad and the reward was the view and plunge pool at the top.Good luck to you on Fatherhood!

What a shame you felt compelled to write such negative words considering you never set foot in the Lodge. Your review is based entirely on the fact that you did not read my email to you regarding our hill. You cancelled 24hrs before check-in and expected a refund. Please in future do your due diligence and read reviews before making a booking.

Bula from Naveria,Not sure what happened to you, Jale, as my team waited all day for you to arrive or at least call. in the end you were a NO SHOW! With no attempt to call us we cannot know when you arrive. We are always available to send our four wheel drive taxi to the airport to assist in transport. However, this is left for the guest to attempt to contact the Lodge and provide us with their necessary arrival information! If this is your first time traveling, please take note, so it does not happen to you again! Vinaka

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.

Thank you Tammy for taking the time to write us a review. Its a pleasure to read that you enjoyed your stay at the Lodge. We are small and do try our best to make a true Fijian hospitable welcome. Your appreciation of our Naveria Team and enjoyment of the Lodge and our meals is lovely to read, Vinaka!

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.

Dear Robert, Thank you for your review. Our Plunge pool is just that, too plunge! perfect just to cool down and enjoy the magnificent view. We are an eco Lodge and built in natural timbers from our gardens. Our water is pure gorgeous rain water, free for our guests to re use their bottles. Occasionally we will run out and we have to truck water up. The truck is a four wheel drive and perfectly safe up our dirt road! Our menu is determined by Sarita, head chef, and her amazing curries are outstanding! I'm glad you were able to appreciate our tremendous views!

Best things about the lodge are the staff and the views. Staff are super accomodating, very friendly and great people to know. They’ll go out of their way to make sure you have a great stay. The views are also incredible. Breakfast is light but filling - perfect for the hot weather. Swimming pool is small but nice for a dip. Only negative is that the only way up to the lodge is a series of steep hills. It’s pretty gravelly as well, so it’s difficult to walk. Even though there are stairs up to the lodge, it doesn’t go all the way to the street. It might be a good idea to hire a 4WD as taxis will not typically go up that driveway (it’s easy to drive around and was super convenient). The lodge does provide complementary transfer from the airport to the lodge, but you’ll need to figure the rest out yourself or pay for the service. Loads of mosquitoes in Savusavu so bring extra repellent! There’s a really nice swimming spot with coral and fish by Split Rock (6 mins drive from the lodge). 10 minutes walk from the lodge is the town with all the ammenities you need. The locals’ food is good and cheap - I recommend the pulao/palau that’s in the restaurant opposite Savusavu yacht club/next to Bargain Box. Copra Shed has a nice restaurant with vegetarian options (you’ll need to ask about it as it’s not on the menu) and a view. Overall, great place to stay and great introduction to Savusavu. There’s also a super friendly German Shepard dog on site for cuddles so 1 for that.
