Nabua Lodge Hidden Getaway

This property is a hidden gem! It was such a wonderful place to stay if you are looking for relaxation. Amazing snorkeling right out in front of the resort! The staff were absolutely wonderful. The grounds were immaculate and the bures were extremely clean. We liked the dining atmosphere and the food that was prepared. Would definitely stay again!

A lovely, family-run place with warm hospitality and a beautiful beach full of coral — great for snorkelling. The rooms are quite hot, and while a fan is provided, it doesn’t cool things down much. There wasn’t any hot water during our stay, but it wasn’t a major issue in the heat. Meals are simple with no menu — you’re served what’s prepared. One thing to be aware of: only food can be paid for by card; activities are cash-only, despite what our booking agent said. A peaceful spot, but quite basic overall.

The property surroundings are beautiful. The facilities could use some upgrading. A bit more variety at breakfast would be nice but Tom’s fresh baked bread is out of this world!!

The bungalows have a bit of an older charm, and while the owners may not be as attentive as in some other homestays and resorts, they are very friendly. A real highlight is the flexible meal plan — you only pay for what you actually order, and if you skip a meal, you pay less. I would warmly recommend this place to anyone seeking peace and relaxation, as long as they are not expecting luxury.

Amazing family run business. The meals were delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful. Free snorkeling gear and kayaks. The property was very quiet and a great way to recharge and start my trip in Fiji!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Nabua Lodge. The family that owns and manages the property is a wonderful host.

Overall, I would give them 4.5 stars (but Hotels.com forces integers!). The only thing to keep in mind when visiting Nabua Lodge is that they find it a bit hard to keep track of allergen information - my wife has a gluten allergy and we had to keep reminding them of this. In addition, they didn't have our allergy information despite having sent them this information with our booking. However, this was the only negative about Nabua Lodge. Everything else was fantastic. The staff were super nice and the food was simple, but delicious. The burres are basic, but quite comfortable and spacious. They even had free wifi in the common eating area (in the main burre). There was spectacular coral and snorkeling a short swim away, and there is the option to hike over to the Blue Lagoon for more snorkeling. There were free kayaks that we could use anytime. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we would definitely visit again.

This is a small resort owned and run by Fijian family. It's very authentic, quiet and has beautiful settings. However it's not a "western style type resort." This is kinda like glamping with meals cooked for you. All you do is relax and enjoy the scenery :-) The bures are spacious and built in traditional Fijian style, including bathroom. Simple but practical. Minifridge was an unexpected bonus. We didn't find any insect throughout our 4 night stay. Our neighbours though had a cockroach and some spiders visited them. But that's expected even in higher end places in this tropical environment. Food was delicious and so well presented. They collect rain water which is safe to drink (we were fine but for our kid we treated it with tablets or bought bottled water). Free wifi by the main building. The trip to Blue Lagoon was a highlight. Best snorkelling spot, so many fish! ($40fjd) The trip to the caves is worth doing too. It's about 40 min boat ride one way and it can get bumpy. ($125 fjd) We really enjoyed our stay at Nabua Lodge. We will definitely be back!

I was in desperate need for a break from people. This tiny resort was just right. The staff were so wonderful. Lucy was amazing! I felt like i was home. Just note. The caving is strictly CASH. NOT CASH /DEBIT card- yes somehow i forgot. I left refreshed. Thank you wonderful people!

Food was great, local eats, fish, paw, paw coconut etc.place needs some tlc, but for what you pay, its good value.Beaches are good if you walk along foreshore 5 mins.Snorkelling is excellent about 100 metres from shore behind large rock outcrop to the west of main lodge.Staff were very helpful and friendley.

The food was delicious for a reasonable price

We loved our stay here. Staff were super friendly, accommodation was lovely- not flash but perfect for what we needed and super clean. Food was great- and so lovely to eat with other guests. Good sunset view walk, local super friendly cafe and village worth a visit. Loved our stay and would come back in a heartbeat .

Die schönste und sauberste Unterkunft, die wir auf den Yasawa-Inseln hatten. Das Essen war sehr lecker und der Service war ausgezeichnet. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Unterkünften konnte man hier auf einzelne Mahlzeiten verzichten und zahlte entsprechend weniger. Ausserdem gibt es in Gehdistanz ein kleines Dorf (5-10 Minuten), wo es auch ein nettes kleines Café gab.

We had booked a three-night stay but ended up leaving after just one night. (non-refundable but I couldn't stay!) The 4x cockroaches in the room, damp bedding, cold showers and mediocre food did it for me. Unfortunately this place had no redeeming qualities. If you have lots of time and are on a tight budget, then try the place. If you are on vacation, and looking to enjoy your time in Fiji I'd highly recommend going anywhere else!

Quiet and peaceful place

On my arrival the owner was not even friendly but rather aggressiv. His wife as well. No klue why...The food was disgusting, I had almost thrown up. There was only one meal available...Accomodation was great! Beach o.k.

This lodge was wonderful. It was so fun to meet the other guests and the staff was excellent. The put on a show Saturday night. The beach and hike were truly beautiful and a nice relaxing stay. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Rooms very clean and a very beautiful and manicured garden. Food was ok. Wish they had more options for breakfast and a lot of time the food wasn’t very hot. Overall a very good and relaxing stay. I would stay here again.

Naja ich weiss nicht wo ich anfangen soll, aber das Geld ist es nicht Wert. Vielleicht vor 10 Jahre war mal die Unterkunft top aber jetzt nicht mehr. Zum Beispiel bei Hotels.com mit Frühstück gebucht aber Manager behauptet das es nicht stimmt. Das Frühstück gab es um Punkt 08:00 Uhr mit allen Hotelgästen zusammen wie im Militär. Das selbe am Mittag und Abendessen und man weiss nicht was man bekommt. Ausser das Frühstück war immer das gleiche, obwohl andere Früchte in der Küche waren. Nach ca.20 Minuten räumte das demotivierte Personal ab obwohl der Partner noch am essen war. Es gab ein Whiteboard mit Aktivitäten das recht mangelhaft war ca. 3 Touren. Das Internet war sehr sehr schlecht. Unterkunft war undicht, zum Duschen könnte man lieber nach draussen stehen wenn es regnet (Duschstrahl oder wie man das soll nennen, schrecklich). Trinkwasser ist Regenwasser wo in einem Tank gelagert ist ohne Filter Instandsetzung oder Wartung am Tank glaube ich noch nie gemacht (Nährboden für alle möglichen Bakterien und Viren). Abendprogramm oder irgend was gab es nicht. Wenn man das Personal etwas fragte kommt man immer die Antwort man muss den Chef fragen, Entscheidungen darf das Personal nicht treffen. Mann könnte so viel machen mit der Unterkunft es braucht ja nicht viel:(Unterhaltungsprogramm, Whiteboard besser gestallten Touren, Instandsetzung der Zimmer, motiviertes Personal).

Man fühlte sich direkt wohl. Sehr ruhiger Ort, perfekt zum Relaxen. Captain Sai und seine Familie waren sehr hilfreich und respektvoll. Danke für diese Erfahrung, gerne wieder!
