Beautiful Home & Spectacular Views
The home is beautifully presented, and has almost everything you need for your stay. The views of Savusavu bay from the verandah is simply magnificent. Relaxing in the Salt water Infinity Pool looking out to the sunset was breathtaking. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the House of Bamboo. Thank you to our host, Bruce was a wonderful experience.

Good, but could be great with a few tweaks.
My dealing with Jolene was mostly great. Unfortunately due to an unexpected cyclone we didn't get there til two days later. However at one point it wasn't looking like we were going to be able to make it due to the cyclone and the bushfires in Australia which was causing a lot of the airlines to ground their planes. When there was a very real possibility we wouldn't be able to make it at all, we advised Jolene. Sadly, they weren't very helpful and weren't willing to discuss a refund or even a partial refund despite it being out of everyones hands. Because of this, it tainted the experience. Thankfully we made it but there are a couple of things they could be doing to better the experience. 1. Be willing to compromise under extenuating circumstances i.e a cyclone, bushfires, flights being cancelled etc. 2. Offer to drive your guests back to the airport. 3. You advertise wifi. The exact wording is” free wifi broadband internet” why then are we being told its capped at 8GB and we need to pay extra for more? 4. If you're going to keep it capped, offer a easy way to check the usage and advertise that on your listing. 5. On the listing it also says “Complimentary kayaks, paddle boards and snorkel gear available” when we got there Jolene made a point of stating “we’ve supplied the kayaks free of charge because of the issues you’ve all had getting here” so…that was some false goodwill generated. Disappointing. 6. You offer one roll of toilet paper. How is this not already included in a not so cheap accommodation? Its a basic human requirement. Especially since everyone prior has had to buy toilet paper and likely left some behind. Meaning the owner is not actually paying for the said toilet paper. And why not tell us while taking us to shops before we get to the house. Why find out after we get there which then forces us to go back (inconvenient) or to ration it out for a night between 4 people. 7. Provide bikes for your guests. That way they could bike into town instead of calling taxi’s all the time. You advertise hiring these but it could be a good way to stay competitive. Especially in the environmental climate we’re living in these days. Hopefully this is received in the way it was intended. We did enjoy our time there and would love to visit again one day!

Breathtaking and beautiful views and little slice of heaven
The house is situated on a hill top. It’s bright and airy and has an island 🌴 vibe about it. The views is breathtaking and you just want to sit on the balcony or in the pool and look at the sea 🌊. The house feels like a home away from home. The staff are very friendly, efficient and engaged in making your stay the best possible. I highly recommend this slice of heaven to everyone.

SPECTACULAR IN EVERY WAY
Our time at The House Of Bamboo was wonderful. The infinity pool was amazing and is where we spent most of our time. The large porch was beautiful and a great place to relax and enjoy the view. The entire house is a little piece of heaven. The town, markets and restaurants are easily accessible by taxi and all are reasonably priced. Cyclone Winston hit while we where there and we experienced how amazing the people of Savusavu are!! Brad and Therese showed us genuine compassion and concern and helped contact friends and family!! Would highly recommend staying here and will return.

Lomalagi!! Heaven
Words are just not enough to be able to explain how wonderful The House of Bamboo and Savusavu truly is....but I'll try. Therese & Brad have created a little slice of Fijian heaven in the treetops. The house felt like the luxury treehouse of your childhood dreams, & was set up in such a way as to have absolutely everything that anyone could want. Filled with beautiful paintings, items, traditional Fijian decor, & books. Pure Fiji products, beautiful linen & towels to spoil. The bespoke kitchen cabinetry is absolutely beautiful, vasi wood tops, doors made from contrasting timbers, even down to the little brass seashell cabinet handles! Every window revealed views of Savusavu Bay which was a constant changing scene, dawn, dusk cloudy and blue. We took hundreds of photos of the changing view. Beautiful gardens surrounded us filled with various flowers & native fruit trees like Kura, Kavika. And a traditional Fijian Bure that we lazed under with wine & books even in the rain. We went for morning swims pinching ourselves as we looked over our view completely hidden away from anyone. Watching the ferry slowly cruising in then jumped out of the pool and washed off under the outdoor shower...picked fresh passionfruit that was peeping out at us at the shower..then up to the deck for breakfast. We swam in the evening under the stars and watched the lights of the Cousteau jetty below us. My husband is Fijian & living in Australia was pining for food from home. We had planned to go out to restaurants etc on the trip...but we had too much fun going into the markets and buying our fish and market produce & cooking It was hard to tear ourselves away from our little haven & hire a car for 3 days & explore. We used Brads suggested car hire firm (listed on the very informative compendium) & they were beyond helpful...amazingly professional & polite service, Nadi could "take a leaf". We had an amazing couple of days exploring. The property is perched very high at the top of alot of stairs, anyone with mobility issues just wouldn't be able to manage. My husband has really bad knees & I'm quite "rubanesqe" myself! & the stairs were fine. Also we were diligent to have mozzie coils going and never once had an issue. A tropical depression passed & we had a 24 hour blackout, that was no problem. Brad & Therese were simply amazing in every step of our process, they are born for hospitality. We cannot thank them enough for creating & sharing their beautiful home.

Stunning family holiday
The house was perfect for our family of four - 2 adult sons, for us to celebrate a birthday. Spacious, clean, tidy and the most stunning views. The 125 steps from the road were a good work out. The pool was very welcoming when we reached the house! Close enough to town where there were many good options for dining. The management of the property was flawless with Jolene always ready with a smile and super helpful; she really was the icing on the cake for our stay. Great snorkelling across the road from the property. Would definitely stay again.

A week in paradise!
Truly the stay of a lifetime! This review may sound over the top, but it's truly difficult to put into words how wonderful our trip was. Firstly, Bruce and his team are fantastic. Before we even arrived, they went out of their way to provide recommendations for activities to do and on what to prepare for to make the stay as comfortable as possible. On arrival, we were picked up and shown around town, which was very helpful, and then given the keys. Throughout our stay, Jolene, one of the team, unobtrusively checked in with us, continuing to provide amazing recommendations. She was lovely, warm and felt like a long time friend. The home itself is a cozy, spacious hideaway in paradise! The photos do not do the place justice, the space was tastefully appointed and entirely private. The outdoor saltwater pool was incredible, second only to naps in the private cabana. Other highlights included drinking morning coffee on the covered deck watching the sunrise on the panoramic ocean view, walking 5 minutes to the beach for some of the best snorkeling in Fiji, and spending hours exploring the coastline with SUPs provided by our hosts. This stay felt like living at a private resort in paradise. Our only regret was not staying longer! Thank you so much Bruce and your team! We'll be back!

Stunning
Beautiful, spacious home with gracious hosts. We loved our stay at Bamboo House. Simon, who gave us a ride from the airport and showed us around Savusavu, Tuks and Sekony who helped us with our bags up the 100+ stairs to the home, Jolene who met us and gave us the ins and outs of the house, all made us feel so welcome. The beach out front is a little hard to access, especially at low tide, but once you’re in, the snorkeling is magnificent. And the dive shop at the nearby Cousteau resort has surprisingly reasonable rates to go out with the dive boat for even more interesting snorkeling. Definitely go to the waterfall with Simon, and don’t hesitate to take a swim—absolutely delightful. Wish I could say we’ll be back, but even though not likely, we’ll carry a little bit of Fiji in our hearts!

It’s difficult to put into words how stunning this property is and how well it checked off all the boxes of what we wanted in a vacation getaway. From the privacy and lush vegetation to the incredible ocean views from both the house and private infinity pool we couldn’t have asked for more. Located directly across the street from the ocean we were able to kayak and snorkel right there. The steps to the property were not an issue - in my opinion the view and privacy at the top is so worth the walk up. Jolene the property manager is very personable and friendly and was very helpful and quick to respond to all of our questions and needs during our stay. Overall this property and the island were the highlight of our vacation!

Perfect getaway!
My husband and I were traveling with friends. We were all so excited about our stay and we were not disappointed. The house was private at the top of the hill with an amazing view of the water. We enjoyed a day out with Bruce and Jen on their 44ft catamaran...what a perfect day! We also had a private Lovo dug on the property. We can't say enough about our stay at the Bamboo house! Lima was such a great help and Bablu (taxi) took us to a beautiful waterfall. Thanks again Bruce and Jen for making our trip so exciting!!!

The House of Bamboo is such a treat. Tucked away with beautiful views it truly is a hidden paradise. The team that looks after The House of Bamboo is top notch and is available to support you throughout your stay. They really go above and beyond to capture what you would like for your holiday, and SavuSavu is a great base. If you are looking to get away from the crowds and relax in a hidden paradise or ensconce yourself in true Fijian daily life, this place has something for everyone. We so hope to get back one day and see all our wonderful new friends. x

Most Relaxing Vacation Ever!
We spent a week at The House of Bamboo and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The view is amazing and the sky is constantly changing. We used the pool every day even in the warm rain and at night too. We soaked up the sunset one night from the pool and then enjoyed watching the birds and the bats flying until the stars came out. The house is well appointed with everything we needed. We really enjoyed cooking our own meals using fresh produce we bought on Saturday from the Savusavu market. I tried a rice cooker for the first time since it is there! We used the provided coffee and sugar every morning. The bed is very comfortable although we ended up not needing the comforter as it is plenty warm this time of year. There were no issues with hot water and the ability to do laundry at the house makes it possible to travel to Savusavu with only a few changes of clothes! We loved spending time talking with Jolene and learning about Fiji and the local area. Her advice and suggestions were invaluable. We walked the beach past the Cousteau resort at low tide, used the provided snorkeling equipment to look at the fish and coral in the bay, took the kayaks out around the small islands south of the resort, and rented a car from Budget for a day and drove over to Labasa and back. We strongly recommend The House of Bamboo for a lovely vacation spot. Don't forget the sunscreen - the sun is powerful in Fiji!!!

BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL
It's hard to put into words how beautiful this property is and how amazing our vacation was. The view is breathtaking and the hospitality of Bruce, Jen & Jolene ... well let's say we were never treated like strangers but rather like old friends coming for a visit. The stairs are a bit daunting ... you will be thankful for the seat at the top as most times we collapsed right there to catch our breath! The mosquitoes were aplenty (bug spray is a MUST), and getting/keeping hot water running was a challenge. But, I wouldn't trade a thing to stay in a resort. It was so cool to go to town, visiting various markets for our supplies. The people in Savasavu are welcoming and friendly ... one couple befriending us and inviting us to dinner in their home our 2nd night there. A whole different world than what we are used to!!! An outing on Bruce's catamaran is a must! It was one of the highlights of our trip. If a visit to Fiji is not on your bucket list, add it ... you will have the time of your life!!!

Picture perfect. The pool and house were even better than the pictures. Over the top views.
Bamboo House was worth every step to get there. Bruce and Joliene were responsive and so gracious. This was the start of a year long trip but it will be hard to top Bamboo House. The House was well equipped and the outside space for dining and relaxing was used at all times of day and night. Be sure to have a massage under the bure.

Beautiful home, unique location, lovely people
A really nice vacation home, spacious, functional, tastefully decorated with a few interesting art objects from India (and Africa?). The view of Savusavu Bay is a never ending spectacle, changing with the time of the day (and night), the weather, the tide. Up at the house, you live in complete privacy, yet the owner, Bruce, and the property manager, Jolene, who go out of their way to help when needed, can often be found in person around their office, down near the road. The same is true for their two friendly Fijian workmen, Tuks and Wise; they can also tell you a lot about life of Fijians in the jungle which will soon be forgotten. -- If the mosquitoes bother you around the house, you can escape into the pool. The windows of the house are protected with insect screens and can be left open day and night. -- Don't miss snorkeling, paddleboarding or kayaking right out front. -- Bruce's Sekawa River Tour was an unforgettable experience, with sailing over the Bay on his catamaran in wind and rain, and paddling on the quiet river along the virgin tropical jungle. -- Would have loved to stay at this place, with these people, for longer than ten days.
