Amazing views, white sand beaches, waterfalls and some of the friendliest people on earth all make Taveuni a truly unforgettable experience. The neighborhood is extremely safe and a great place for sunrise and sunset walks along the coast road. Tours and rental cars can be hired to get to world class scuba diving, waterfalls, hikes and natural waterslides and we are more than happy to help arrange these or answer any questions. Walking is a great way to see Matei and to meet the locals around town. Taxis are affordable and very easy to hire, we do provide a list of favorite taxi drivers with their phone contacts in out guidebook as well as tours and excursions. There is also the local bus which services all of Taveuni and is a very affordable option if you have the time. There is also the option to rent a car and we are happy to provide details on that if interested. Taveuni is full of adventure, please feel free to ask us about any activities on the island you may wish to explore (Lavena coastal walk, Bouma falls, natural waterslides, International Date line, Diving the rainbow reef, fishing tours, birdwatching...) we are happy to help with this. Raintree Gardens is located right in the heart of Matei so it's just a couple minutes walk to 2 shops which sell all the basic food items, drinks, and anything else you might need. There is a beach just across the street and we have multiple restaurants all within walking distance. Please keep in mind that Fiji is a very tropical climate so we do have geckos, flies, mosquitoes etc. all over the island. The houses are fully screened in so as long as the screen doors are kept closed these critters should not find their way inside the house. We do rely completely on solar so we do just ask to please turn off fans and lights when they aren't being used to help conserve power.
