We had the joy of Staying at Bularangi for 2 1/2 weeks in September 2015.
Having 3 teenagers, we were looking for quality accommodation that could allow us family space and provide flexibily and a good location. Bularangi was perfect and exceeded our expectations.
Rooms are spacious and well appointed. Children's rooms at one end and parent's at the other...all opening onto the pool area. Central area is large with well appointed kitchen and eating area and TV lounge area.
Pool area is superb and position of property is superb in that it is just around the headland missing the majority of any wind that may occur.
Area straight out the front has good diving around to the right and to the left of Wananavu resort. We are an active family and spent 2-4 hours in the water each day and never ran out of areas to go to and dive.
The pool was great to have to come back to and just relax in.
The fact that the resort facilities of Wananavu Resort can be used was an absolute bonus, and as such we mixed home cooking, Manju's (indian helper) dinners with resort lunches and dinners and this provided good variation. The staff at the Resort are great and nothing was too much trouble. We dived with their organised dives and caught the boat to Nananu i ra twice and did snorkling there for 1 guided tour and then one day on our own. Staff at the resort are amazing and we were very sad to say our goodbyes even if not staying there!
We also went to Voli Voli Resort twice and spent a day there each time. Very worth while if you like snorkeling and Beach restaurant and pool is great
Foodwise we bought meats at Nadi under Ali's guidence which worked perfectly. Supermarket supplies use the newly opened supermarket at Tavua on the way...dont use Lautoka as choice much better at Tavua. Going to RakiRaki is a must for fresh fruit and vegetables and seeing local culture.
Our holiday was made very special with Manju and Kamlesh who helped around the place when we needed. They are extremely lovely people and we had the joy of being invited to Manju's home and meeting her family and enjoying her hospitality...all of these things added to a great holiday.
This was just the sort of holiday we needed and I would happily return.

Four of us Friends decided to celebrate our birthdays in Fiji, especially Vic’s 50th -who was the first one who came up with the idea. Fortunately, Sue was able to find the best accommodation we could ever imagine. Overall, our stay in Bularangi has been nothing short of AMAZING. Privacy, serenity, peace, unperturbed in a luxurious, extravagant, dumb founding place. But the most prized possession of this villa are the people who are so thoughtful, and accommodating and kind, who had been keeping the guests relaxed and well taken care of - Manju and especially Kamlesh. If you want to relax and go away from your normal “fast paced” lives for a while, then Bularangi is the place to be. Plus there are heaps of activities that you could do around if you want to be kept busy. (Read their GUEST BOOK for great ideas!) Very very highly recommended. Two thumbs up! And for the rest of the details a critical traveler would want to know, read below. I could not say anything negative about the place, if there are any, it would be very small and irrelevant.
SPACE: Very Spacious!
AMENITIES: They've got everything you could possibly need on a holiday. Enough ceiling fans and AC to keep you cool. Kitchenware and white wares are available for you to cook, bake, make your own cocktails, and you can also wash and dry your clothes. It is complete with entertainment gadgets –TV, Stereo, Computer, Telephone and WIFI. They also have more than enough closets and drawers AND a locked safe that you could use to sort your things.
LOCATION: Peaceful, Serene, Safe, away from tourists and craziness of the city.
QUALITY: All the furniture and appliances are quite up to date, working well, clean, and easy to use. Bathroom and Toilets are very clean, stylish, with huge mirrors.
TRANSPORTATION: We suggest you contact Jai of Suncoast taxis if you want to get anywhere, they’re easy to call and reliable.
ACCESSIBILITY: I suggest you buy what you need (cooking and toiletries) at Rakiraki town center before you go to the Villa. The Villa is also nearby two resorts if you wish to avail of their facilities. You could not get bored with a lot of activities that you can do nearby. Snorkelling, Tramping, Sliding in a waterfall slide, boat ride, fishing, private massage by Renu, star gazing, shopping, watch a cultural dance, mingle with villagers, drink authentic kava…. Be spontaneous and enjoy the high of discovery!
