Amazing. We felt more like honored guests in a village than paying customers at a resort. You are treated like family and you felt the same genuine fondness. Bure’s were very nice; comfortable bed, effective mosquito netting. Nicely furnished; feeling modern and updated. Bathroom and shower were great with lots of hot water. Felt closer to a stay at the... More

We stayed 5nights at Matava, going home on Nov. 17. I have nothing but praise. Matava was perfect for us, but do your homework to see if it's for you. If you want blowdryers, boutiques, pools and fancy, skip this. Kadavu is gorgeous, and Matava provided us with everything we needed. The setting is stunning, and our bure felt very... More

My wife I have just returned from Matava. What a great bunch of people. They have such a huge amount of knowledge of the land and marine environment around them lends for a great experience on anything you decide to do whilst at Matava. The accomodation is well laid out and each bure is far enough apart that you can... More

My brother and I just returned from a week-long stay at Matava--we had a fantastic time. It's a wonderful, off-the-beaten-track location, which means lots of peace and relaxation if you want it. We're not divers but there was plenty to keep us busy and happy--we did lots of kayaking and snorkeling, and it was fun to meet other guests from... More

I just returned from Matava Eco Resort. It was wonderful! The diving is awesome. We did four manta dives and saw mantas each time. The resort is right on the Great Astrolabe Reef and has wonderful marine life, both big (mantas, sharks) and small (pipe fish, nudibranchs, shrimp, twin spot lion fish) and everything in between (anemone fish, clown triggers,...

Idyllic escape from the rat race. The staff, location, food, service and ambience are all top class. We had a truly wonderful time and immensely enjoyed the manta dives as well as relaxing with a local rum at the bar in the evening! We stayed in a honeymoon bure which we could not fault. The view was spectacular and the... More

We had 10 wonderful days at Matava. The resort is nestled on two sides of a small creek, with well laid paths leading past bananas, hibiscus and paw paw, to private wooden and thatch bures with large decks, hot showers, magnficent views and extremely comfortable beds. A large main bure with bar, and decked area allow for plenty of space... More

We went to Matava for our honeymoon as it was recommended to us by friends, and we were not disappointed. Although we had a different room to the usual bures, it was still fantastic with an amazing view and great for our honeymoon. Heaps of wildlife too, from birds, crabs, lizards and even a python, whenever we went to and... More
