Coconut Grove Beachfront Cottages

Surrounded by mango trees and coconut palms, we have just three accommodations, thus assuring you a very private holiday.

Extraordinary diving and snorkeling, incredible nature walks, and sunrises that will take your breath away. The surrounding waters, known as the Somosomo Straits, are Fiji's top diving and snorkeling areas, of world-class standard.

Dining

The restaurant is small and intimate, set on the front verandah of this island home and overlooking the ocean.

Enjoy fresh fish and seafood, organically grown vegetables and homemade pastas.

Meals are served in Coconut Grove's oceanfront restaurant, on your private verandah or down on the beach by candlelight. Curries and Fijian food are served as well, plus some of the finest beef New Zealand has to offer.

Many nights the guys come play their ukuleles and sing their sweet island tunes. Coconut Grove also has a village night when the entire village performs meke (traditional story/dance) on the beach, followed by lovo (food cooked in an earth oven over volcanic rocks).

Coconut Grove Beachfront Cottages Room Information.

This small resort offers only three accommodations surrounded by mango trees and coconut palms. Each is nicely appointed and offers all the modern conveniences of your own home.

All the cottages at Coconut Grove have stunning views and access to the top private beach on Taveuni Island, Fiji where you can walk, go snorkeling or relax with a local Fiji Bitter.

Banana Bure

This is our newest bure and is located right down on the lower part of the property, closest to the beach. The cottage has windows all around, with views of the ocean from 3 sides.

From your queen size bed you can see banana trees, hibiscus and watch the sunrise over the 1st island.

When you return from your swim it is ten steps from the beach up to the attached hot water honeymoon shower. After you've enjoyed bathing in privacy outdoors, (there is nothing like it in the world!) there is a second door that brings you right into the cottage. Now this is the way to bathe in the tropics!

At night when you close your eyes you will hear the sound of the waves on the shore outside your windows. If you like, you can tiptoe down to the sand for a dip under the stars. Otherwise, the hammock is a great place to relax and see the clearest night sky you've ever seen. Ever.

Mango Bure

From every window are views of the beach and the garden, with mango trees and butterfly orchids in abundance outside.

Large windows allow the warm tropical breeze to carry the scent of flowers into your room.

The Mango Bure has a queen size bed and overhead fan. There is also a single bed under the front windows on which you can read your book, and a small fridge nearby for your cold drinks. It is a spacious room with high ceilings, and the walls are covered in indigenous reeds that give the room a real island feeling. There is a large verandah in the front with two oversized chaise lounges. It is the perfect spot to spend the late afternoon and watch the colors of the sky change over the ocean as the sun sets.

Our island is famous for the kula birds, which are like small parrots. And the best seats in the house at sundown are on the verandah of the Mango Bure. You will see them flitting through the air at sundown, flying in packs from coconut tree to tree.

From the bathroom you step outdoors to the attached hot water "honeymoon shower". It was built from lava rocks we found down the island and has a banana tree cascading over the rock wall. Talk about a special place to bathe! You haven't lived until you have showered here, outdoors, in total privacy looking out at the sea.

Papaya Bure

This light and airy bure is cooled by the trade winds that rustle through the papaya trees outside.

It has a queen size bed, ceiling fan and a little fridge in the corner for your cold drinks. Its louvered windows provide beautiful views of the ocean and sunrise from your bed!

Outside, on your verandah, there are heliconias and hibiscus everywhere, and down a few steps is the outdoor lava rock shower. Of course there is a hot water shower inside your bure, but this outside one is the perfect place to rinse off after a swim. It has a cute little half door in the front so that you can see the ocean from here without frightening the fish.
