“Absolute paradise”
+Absolutely everything here is amazing, the bungalows are amazing, set up so well and the most incredible views stepping straight into the ocean. There is a wonderful shared kitchen space, set up very well. the kayaks and stand up paddle boards are great as you can paddle around and see the fish and coral or paddle to the blue holes.
−The bed was hard but as everything else was 10/10 I can’t complain!!

“Absolutely amazing!”
+Everything was amazing, the owner is absolutely incredible. Waking up with the birds and kayaking to the blue wholes is magical
−The breakfast just need a little bit of dairy and protein options (eggs, yoghurt, cheese,…) but all the kitchen amenities are perfect

“Exceeded all expectations! Fantastic location, great adventure equipment (kayaks, SUP) and kitchen”
+Matevulu exceeded all my expectations. The location was perfect in and amongst the blue holes, and in a beautiful bay. All equipment you could ask for was provided - kayaks, stand up paddle boards, reef shoes, snorkels, dry bags and more! Perfect little excursions in the area. In terms of the kitchen it had all the equipment you could ask for. We went simple with our meals but could have been much more elaborate. Breakfast was fine, nothing overly exciting, some bread with spreads and fruit. The bungalow was right on the water with beautiful hammocks outside for relaxing. Beautiful breeze through the room. At full tide the crashing waves did wake me up but it was a price willing to pay. Enjoyed a campfire one evening and there was even games, badminton rackets etc. Literally everything you could think you might want.

“My favorite accommodation on island”
+Absolutely dreamy! 🌴✨ We had the most amazing stay here. The cottage was absolutely adorable and felt like a little dream cottage so cosy, beautiful and surrounded by nature. The whole resort is stunning, and we were lucky enough to meet some lovely other guests, so we ended up chatting together in the beautiful shared kitchen every evening. It made the whole stay feel so warm and welcoming. The breakfast was absolutely perfect and such a lovely way to start the day. 🥰 And one of the coolest things about staying here is that you can literally take a canoe from the resort straight to Riri Hole it feels like you can almost get there straight from your bed! 🛶😂 Such a unique experience and definitely one of the highlights of our stay. We absolutely loved it here and would 100% come back. Highly recommend! ❤️

“Amazing escape from the world”
+Perfection, relaxed environment and Gaelle was an amazing hostess, we wanted for nothing.
−Nothing at all. I would however recommend stocking up on supplies before heading there as its self catering

+We had a lovely stay at Matevulu Lodge. The bungalow was very clean, comfortable, peaceful, and beautifully located. Gaëlle was a warm and welcoming host, she and her team made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and hospitality and would heighly recommend Matevulu Lodge to others looking for a comfortable and peaceful place to stay.

“14 nights in paradise”
+What can I say. If you are undecided... just book this place! Everything was excellent. Was easy to visit other places o. Day trips. Go diving (Triton Divers were outstanding) horseride, Blue holes, kayay, or just relax.
−Bring earplugs, the ocean is at your feet all night long. Stunning... but can be loud.

+Loved the thoughtfully decorated rooms with touches like, local handicrafts, a lighter and mosquito coils and great breakfast. Being right on the water is amazing. You step off your deck and you're right there swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding and kayaking. The trip kayaking yourself to Riri Bluehole up the Riri River is dreamlike. The staff are friendly and so helpful.
−Liked everything and want to go back! We miss the jams!

“Straight out of a dream”
+This place was an absolute dream. As “beachfront” as it gets, simple but well decorated and tidy, walking distance to two stunning blue holes (if you have to pick one, I’d say do Matevulu early in the morning so you have it to yourself) plus lovely swimming right on your doorstep. Great shower with plenty of hot water and solid pressure. An endless choice of hammocks, swings, benches etc with ocean views. We didn’t want to leave!
−It wasn’t an issue for us but wifi was very patchy and unreliable. Great for a beach holiday where you want to disconnect - would not be great if you plan on doing any work! There are darts, badminton, board games to keep you entertained and off your phone anyway.
