This lodge is ideal for backpackers. However, as we are not backpackers, we chose this accommodation based on the description, which implied it catered to a broader range of travelers. To suit our needs, we booked a private room with an ensuite bathroom.||The room was very spacious, featuring two double beds, but the mattresses were worn out and in need of replacement. The bathroom was large and clean, though the shower only provided cold - lukewarm water. The wardrobe had just two hangers, and the door did not close properly. Additionally, the mirror on the wardrobe door distorted reflections, resembling a funhouse mirror.||Given the price we paid for the room, we expected basic amenities such as a mini-fridge. Instead, there was a notice stating "No drinking in the room," which perhaps explained the absence of a kettle or tea/coffee facilities. It was not communicated at check-in that we needed to request room cleaning or fresh towels, so we only discovered this after three days when we inquired.||On a positive note, the staff were very friendly. The pool is clean and there are alot of sun loungers. ||The lodge offers a taxi service, though it is more expensive than the taxis available on the roads nearby.For instance, the lodge taxi charges 15 FJD for a ride to Nadi Town in an old, worn-out vehicle, while street taxis charge 10 FJD for the same trip in newer cars with air conditioning.||The location is close to the beach, just a 3-minute walk, but the beach itself is underwhelming. There are no loungers or shaded areas, and there is noticeable litter along the shore.||Overall, this is a lovely option for backpackers, but it may not meet the expectations of travelers seeking more comfort and amenities.||
