We had a wonderful stay! The house was great, and we especially enjoyed the beautiful pool and deck area. The caretakers, Robert and Vinna, were wonderful and really made our stay special. Robert took us out on his boat twice, which were definitely highlights of our trip. We fished and my husband caught a Spanish Mackerel , our daughter surfed near Qamea Island, and we snorkeled a beautiful reef. Vinna also cooked us amazing fresh fish tacos. We had such a memorable stay and would definitely recommend this home!

Our group of 4 stayed for a week and didn't want to leave. You can kayak, paddle board, fish, snorkel, adventure around the island or just sit nearly comatose in the house while taking in the great view of the Pacific Ocean. Robert and Vinna made us feel like family and Tony was readily available. This was one of the best vacation stays I've ever had. Vinaka !

Wow! Vale Sekula looked too good to be true- it was as amazing if not better than advertised! Tony (the owner) was an excellent communicator and Robert and Vinna (the caretakers) were amazing people, good at communicating and helping us arrange rides and activities, and Vinna’s cooking was top notch and fresh from her garden! Our family is a land-locked bunch that rarely has or likes fish, but Vinna made 3 fish dishes for us, and we were all licking our bowls and enjoying leftovers!The property was beautiful, the 3 kayaks were perfect, the grounds were well maintained!We LOVED everything about this place!

What a Majic stay in Matei

Vale Sakoula is all that the reviews and U-tube videos show. Great location on the water with a nice dock where Robert met us for snorkeling excursions each day. Four nights of bliss in Tavenui!! I see why it stays booked. Robert and Vinna are caring and terrific people. As are Tony & Katie!! Our best stay ever in 30 years.

Idyllic Holiday Spot

We enjoyed a marvelous visit to Taveuni. Our stay at Vale Sekoula was everything we could have hoped for - great location, top-notch amenities and a superb level of service. The communication and support from the property owners was the best I've ever had in a rental, and the local support team was super helpful and welcoming. Taveuni is beautiful, and we did some remarkable scuba diving and snorkeling. I would love to return!

Paradise

What an amazing hidden gem. The location and the property is wonderful. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with us. All communication was quick and helpful. Robert and Vinna were excellent property managers and offered assistance when we needed. The island itself is beautiful (so many butterflies and birds!). Top food recommendation is Kai Time - their food is delicious.

I could go on and on about how much we loved this place!! Tony and Katie have a slice of heaven on earth! They think of everything you would need and more. Then you have their caretakers; Robert and Vinna who give you space but are there when you need them too. Don't even second guess booking this place, just do it!

My husband and 2 boys (5 & 7) had a wonderful stay at Vale Sekoula. Prior to booking, I messaged the host who responded quickly answering my questions and once booked, they were super informative of what to expect not only of their home, but our travel desires and what Taveuni had to offer. The caretakers Robert and Vinna are amazing! Robert picked us up at the airport, him and Vinna showed us around the house, and were so accommodating to our travel plans like going to the waterfall, snorkeling (on their boat), and water slides, which our kids loved. They can pretty much set up anything you’d like and are reasonably priced! They also have their own little stand where they sell homemade ice cream and seasonal produce. The house was beautiful inside and out— literally 2 min from the airport. The pool was perfect at all times of the day and the views were spectacular. The house was comfortable more than enough room for the 4 of us and family friendly too. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Taveuni!

Our stay at VS exceeded our expectations!! The owners was very pleasant, attentive from the moment we booked up until we left! The onsight house managers went up and beyond to help us out and show us around, if you want awesome day out on the boat - Robert her husband took us out for an incredible snorkeling day! VInna’s Fish Tacos and Mango Salsa is a must try! Having a mealready for us on arrive was perfect!!Having fresh fruit brought to us was a delicious treat! It was fun to pick our own pineapple on the property!! and it was delicious! If you’re thinking about renting this, don’t walk run!! We loved the fact that we had two restaurants that were awesome and walking distance, and yes, I was mush after my two hour Massage (on the beach) at Coconut Grove! Would we come back ….. in a heartbeat!!

Vale Sekoula was the perfect peaceful getaway. Robert met us at the airport drove us to the home which is right across the street and Vienna greated us with coconut drinks. The best snorkeling right from your front door. Honeymoon island was beautiful. Robert took us out and dropped us off at our request to Honeymoon island so we could relax and snorkel. Robert also took us to Rainbow Reef. Wow, dont miss the opportunity to go. It was amazing. All around the home was spotless, Robert and Vienna were super helpful, and amazing location. It was definitely the highlight of our trip!

Third stay at Vale Sekoula. Loved it as always. Fourth visit already scheduled…Fifth visit already scheduled (2026)! What can I say that I haven’t already said? The only difference this year was the 2nd bathroom, which was done very nicely. Awesome! Won't stay anywhere else! Respectfully, Adam

2023 Return to Vale Sekoula

Here's the deal: Very friendly home, neatly kept, phenomenal location, great views, fantastic new deck over the water, appropriately priced, well-equipped, etc., etc. This was our 2nd stay at Vale Sekoula and we booked our 3rd for next year before we left LAX for this visit. I highly recommend this property. If it were mine to manage, I would not change anything...other than plan to visit more frequently than we do. Respectfully, Lisa and Adam

Our stay at Vale Sekoula was everything we hoped for. Relaxing, beautiful, clean and more :-)

Our stay at Vale Sekoula was everything we hoped for. From the beginning being greeted by Robert the house manager and guided around the property we immediately slipped into holiday mode and relished the amazing views, the garden, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling and fabulous local hospitality. Visiting Taveuni is the authentic Fiji. We couldn't have wished for a more relaxing holiday. A 10 minute walk along the road planted with amazing tropical plants.....to local restaurants and dive operators was a walk in the park. We highly recommend Vale Seloula and will return in the near future. A huge thanks to Tony, Katie and family, Robert and Vinnie :-)

5-stars isn’t enough

This place is a dream. We gave this property five stars across the board but it deserved six at least (out of five). The location? Stunning. The layout? Open and breezy. The view? Spectacular. The local people? Warm, kind, and gracious. The diving was fantastic, Rainbow Reef is one of the best in the world, and Salt Dive is amazing (see my google review). We’re already planning our next trip back.

Already planning to come back

We loved our stay in so many ways, it's hard to know where to start! Vale Sekoula is a spacious, very liveable house in a quiet location with a beautiful garden, lovely pool and amazing sea views - it would have been easy to spend our whole time there. The kitchen is well equipped and local stores, although small, have plenty of supplies for self-catering if that's what you want to do. The location also answered to our version of Tourism to a T - it's a very relaxed neighbourhood that is easy to wander about, meeting more locals than tourists, and you can opt in or out of tourist activities as much as you like. Vinaka vakalevu especially to Vinna and Robert for the warm welcome and being so helpful and kind during our stay. We are already discussing when we can come back!

Absolutely amazing

A beautiful house in an amazing part of the world! The caretakers Vinna & Robert were awesome from the moment we arrived until the morning we left. The property is beautifully maintained & is a credit to them both. There is loads to do at Taveuni or the house is ideal for just relaxing & enjoying the view from the back verandah. I spent a good part of the trip freediving from the kayaks supplied, on the reef which is located a short paddle from the back yard. The reef system right outside the back door is world class diving & there is plenty of it everywhere you go on the island. The local people on the island are some of the most beautiful people I have ever met & the whole place felt like home from the minute we arrived. We’ll be back for sure!

Perfect Vacation

Bula! Our group of 4 stayed at Vale Sekula for 10 amazing nights. Everything was exactly as we expected. We walked from the Airport to the house where Robert met us and showed us around the house. We spent most of the time at the house, in the pool enjoying the view. We used the provided kayaks to paddle out to the 3rd island (Honeymoon Island) and snorkeled (amazing snorkeling!). We also got a taxi (Joe, who was awesome) to take us to the natural rock water slides, Lavena Coastal Walk and Bouma Waterfalls. The kitchen is well stocked and we actually cooked several dinners ourselves. I could go on and on about how amazing the house, property and locals are but I suggest everyone just go an experience it for themselves. Vanaka Tony and Katie for having us at Vale Sekula!

Vale soukala was a wonderful place to spend a week. The owner Tony was very communicative setting up our vacation. Robert and Vinna, the caretakers were very wonderful people providing transportation to surrounding highlights and markets. Taveuni is very rural and quiet. The house is top notch and very well appointed w traditional fijian artworks. Good restaurants closeby offering traditional and other food options. The hikes to falls and the ocean hike was spectacular. The snorkeling at rainbow reef was unvelievable and worth every penny. Warning: you will forever be spoiled bybthe snorkeling, diving, and friendly fijian culture. It is a slow and third world in many ways but first world in others. We will be back. Lived this place.
