"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. "

"We had a lovely time staying at this resort, so perfect, relaxing and beautiful. The staff were all exceptional, kind and accommodating. We will definitely be coming back to this lovely resort and beautiful island. "

"The Bures are private and large, beds very comfortable. The setting and grounds are beautiful, their Staff works EXTREMEMLY HARD EVERYDAY. Everyone smiled all the time and service was perfect everyday ! Food is Chef Quality Liza, the Chef was excellent with her selections everyday. The Bar was perfect and service as well. The diving is the best I have seen in the world for soft coral, the White wall was extremely impressive. All the dives sites are healthy, Lui our divemaster was excellent. Hal who runs the Dive Operation was on point everyday. Can't say enough about the whole staff. My only suggestion is for the Owners to pay their Staff more, they proved to us they definately deserve it !! I've been diving the whole World for 32 years as a Dive Master, Tavenui Dive Resort ranks up there as one of the very best !!"

"Although the place may not be opulent, it’s clean convenient and perfectly livable. The bed was great Knox and Kalera are gold. If you want a real experience of feature island life, you just couldn’t do better. We look forward to coming back someday."

"This was the best stay of our 3-week trip!! The hosts were so helpful & communicative from the beginning stages of renting their gorgeous place. Then the welcome was genuine and warm, the continental breakfasts each morning were lovely, the house was super, and the view was stunning!! It was high bank water front but easy access onto a relatively private beach. It was just paradise!! We will return!"

"The moment we stepped on the beach in Waitatavi Bay we realized how fortunate we were to have found this magical place. Taking in the view of the sandy beach, to the crystal clear water & tropical fauna, it was amazing we got to enjoy this beautiful Bay all to ourselves. The Bure is nestled in the trees on the water edge with wall-to wall windows/doors with screens to keep bugs out. We slept to waves, woke to views, & snorkeled exploring the underwater topography. Each side of the bay has amazing coral formations, fish, & sea life. Bure even comes with an outside hot water shower & it was extremely comfortable. We had plenty of storage & area to dry dive/snorkel gear. Staff provided room service if we wanted meals inside the bure or out on the deck. The staff was wonderful, smiling, and caring. Meals are prepared with love, from fresh fish to using the coconuts that grow on the property. Privacy was never an issue when we wanted it. Days we scuba dived, staff arranged with the dive shop for transportation off & on our beach. Staff showed us the surrounding bays by boat, took us on an adventure to the Polynesian village where they reside, they were our guides to the fresh water waterfalls & showed us the hike on property for spectacular views. We were never bored. This was one of the top vacations we've taken. Prepare to be pampered & treated like royalty. Loved the isolation to ignore the outside world. This property was much more than we anticipated or expected!"

"I will provide details upon my return."

"Our party of five had the most wonderful holiday staying in Raintree Garden. From the moment we were met at the airport until we left we were so well looked after by Jay. The house had everything we needed including fruit from the garden. Nothing was too much trouble for Jay and his wonderful tour guide Ajay. Ajay showed us many wonderful sights on the island including the Laveena Coastal Walk, Bouma Waterfalls and birdwatching. Ajay's wife cooked us a wonderful dinner. Jay's neighbour Vinna also cooked us a wonderful meal and provided us with some fantastic massages. There is a market on one side of the house and organic ice cream shop on the other, both we visited often. Everyone agreed it was one of the most peaceful and enjoyable holidays we have been on and we can't wait to go back."
