I honestly cannot rate my stay at Papageno Resort in Kadavu highly enough. As a backpacker on a budget, staying here was a very special treat for me, and it exceeded every expectation. Every single member of the staff, without exception, was incredibly friendly, caring, and genuinely focused on making sure I had the best possible experience. Their warmth and kindness made such a difference, and I truly felt welcomed throughout my stay. I’m also a keen amateur birder and had read great things about the resort beforehand — it certainly did not disappoint. The location is absolutely perfect: peaceful, beautiful, and surrounded by stunning nature. The food was amazing every day — beautifully cooked, thoughtfully presented, and always delicious. My bure was gorgeous, spotlessly clean, comfortable, and felt very special to stay in. I’m extremely grateful to everyone there for giving me such an unforgettable experience. It’s something I will remember forever. I will be recommending Papageno to everyone I know, and I truly hope that one day I’ll be lucky enough to return. Vinaka vaka levu.

Ocean views from everywhere, private beach for miles, amazing chef with great knowledge of how to work with dairy and gluten allergies and excellent dive staff. Overall staff is warm, friendly and helpful, and the grounds with private bures are stunning. Great property, a shear slice of heaven and the true South Pacific experience with the sunsets and horizons of blue water into infinity. .

Very friendly staff, beautiful sea view and location, and the room was clean, but it did need some renovations, as parts of it were old and deteriorating.

Very relaxed, personalised experience. Only around 20 guests and similar number of staff. They really get to know you and give you some authentic experiences and food.

This is a great little resort for people looking for a taste of authentic Fijian experience and adventure You can relax with the staff and locals and feel part of the family
