德沃斯私人住宅(DeVos - the Private Residence)

16 of us from Australia and New Zealand converged on the incredible De Vos Residence crew with the wonderful Sue overseeing! Nothing was ever too much for them. Colee, we all fell in love with you and can't wait to be back to see you all again! It shows that you all love working there with one another, there is always music, smiles, dancing and laughter! The meals were incredible and abundant with special mention of the fluffy pancakes Rita makes who was also kept very busy with massages on the beach, sooo relaxing listening to the waves. Volleyball, kava ceremony, BBQ, swimming, horse riding, kayaking, surfing, hair braiding, singing, dancing, bonfire, eating, sleeping, eating again, reading, sun bathing, laughing and laughing, massages, relaxing, walking, boat trips and my absolute favorite, snorkeling! So many beautiful fish to see! Even though there were 16 of us, we had our own privacy with our separate rooms and ensuite. Every morning we woke to a spotless house and were called for meals and events by the beating of the drums which sounded fantastic and could be heard from wherever you were on the property. We have decided as a family that we will be coming here for our holidays from now on, our experience was so wonderful! Vinaka vaka levu to you all!! See you soon 🩷 The Roddis family

Our villa was perfect! Very spacious room sleeping 6 people, comfy beds, a panaramic view of the beach foot steps away, with the pool directly behind us. Our room had an outdoor bath which was great for relaxing after a long day of 'touristing'. The staff were EXCEPTIONAL and made our first time in Fiji unforgettable.. Collie, Jossy, Lo, Loreena, Peceli, Rita & our amazing chef Toni (We miss your french toast daily!) Nothing was too hard for them and it was all done with their infectious big smiles. We fell in love Fiji not because of what the beautiful island has to offer, but because of these beautiful souls that made it hard for us to leave. Our children also miss them terribly! (Aged 17, 16, 8 & 5) We all left abit our hearts with the staff of De Vos. Last but not least Chris the owner, that went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Always checking in to make sure everything was ok. THANK YOU DE VOS FAMILY!!! WE LOVE YOU!

The staff at Devos are honestly amazing, they brang my family and I so much joy and are definitely the best part of our holiday in Fiji. We’ve made friends for life and will never forget our time we spent with them. The place was beautiful with great food and service. I loved how close the pool, chill out place and dinner were to eachother and the stairs in the back lead that straight to the beach. Everything about my experience was just perfect. Definitely coming back here the next time I visit Fiji.

We were so lucky to have found this beautiful, authentic accomodation! We were welcomed with open arms by lovely Loreena, which was here for us the entire time sharing ideas, offering help and organising the most delicious breakfasts and dinners! Together with Coly and the whole team it was such a pleasant stay and we'd love to come back soon! ☀️😍

We stayed 5 nights at De Vos with our 3 young children. We simply loved our stay. The food was amazing (thank you Toni!), air conditioning was cold, there was great snorkelling right out front - we loved seeing the friendly baby sharks most days. We were the only guests, and felt very spoilt having the place to ourselves. The kids loved the pool and the gorgeous lounge area. The staff were amazing with our kids and so friendly and accommodating. They really went above and beyond to make our whole stay enjoyable. The staff involved the kids in making a lovo, braided their hair, organised horse rides, took them on a reef walk, and they did a village tour with Rita, visiting a waterfall and local school. Their nightly dance parties with Loreena won't be forgotten in a hurry! Coli's pinacoladas were excellent too. Our bure was beachfront. It was spacious, very clean and tidy, with comfortable beds and ample pillows. The room was serviced often, and spic and span (thank you Logi!). It was great to have the bar fridge, and tea/ coffee making supplies, and coffee plunger. The swimming pool was great and the outdoor bathtub in our bure was a lovely surprise. I highly recommend the Tipsy Italian across the road if you are looking for tasty, authentic pizza. Your place is a hidden gem. We will definitely be telling friends and family to come and stay. Thank you!

We stayed at the Devos residence for 7 days for an extended family holiday. We had a group of 16 made up of 4 families and the location and design couldn’t have been more prefect for our group. The villas are all separate and gave each family their own space while being close to each other. We opted for the full catering option which was prepared buffet style for each meal and we were really surprised with how good the food was. The staff were exceptional and super friendly (thank you to collie & Loreena) and we’re happy to give us lots of local tips which made our stay a lot easier. We went on a island day trip from the beach house which was recommended by the staff and it was amazing! Would highly recommend this trip to a private secluded island. The location was the best part! We were right on the beach and woke to the sound of the waves breaking every morning. There is a local pier about 100m walk down the beach and I’m the beach is a marine reserve so unfortunately no fishing but the snorkelling was great, we even saw baby reef sharks sunbathing which were told is an attraction for the area. We were so happy we decided on staying at Devos over a larger resort as we had the privacy that we wouldn’t have had in a big resort and spent quality time together which was really important as a lot of our extended family hadn’t seen each other since before covid. We can’t wait to be back again in the future, thank you to Loreena and the whole team ❤️

Our family party of 22 enjoyed a wonderful experience by staying at De Vos last week. It exceeded all our expectations with staff friendliness, clean spacious accommodation, great meals, a pool and facilities like kayaks, paddleboards, gear for snorkelling on site. Massages by Rita were enjoyed by several of us. In the time we were there our party had two birthdays (cakes provided by Toni), and one ring blessing ceremony all set up for us with palm tree decorations, balloons, outdoor lights and outdoor seating. We experienced a kava ceremony, volleyball on the beach, a reef walk, and trips arranged by shuttle to the waterfall, bush walks. shopping in Sigatoka, golf, and a boat trip with fishing and lunch to an island. Nothing was too much trouble. We thank Annemarie, her staff and Loreena, Toni, Colly, Rita for being there to make our family stay a memorable occasion for all of us.

Every time i return this place just gets better and i couldn’t fault it if i tried. I am a returning guest who loves the service and the extra provided. As far as timeout goes - it couldn’t get any better. Nothing like talking a kayak on to the beach in front and making the most of the beautiful marine sanctuary and snorkelling is another. There is just so much to see and do. The staff are always so welcoming and i always enjoy a traditional fijian massage to unwind right at the resort and this time in my bure ! The height of relaxation. The pool is huge but i prefer to sun by the pool and swim in the marine reserve and on the beach. I have been referred to many activities and this time my favourite included the waterfall trip and the boat trip to the island was a huge amount of fun and something i would love to do again on my next trip. A huge thank you to the fabulous staff who always look after me and thank you to the chef who always gets my steak right ! can’t thank you enough for the wonderful hospitality and will enjoy future stays with you as well and am already planning my next get away as this trip was not long enough and it never is. Vinaka for your kindness and hospitality.

My husband and I stayed at the DeVos residence in March 2023 and had one of the best stays ever in Fiji. The residence is in an amazing area of Fiji which allows you to get out of the tourist hustle and be amongst the villages and local culture that surrounds the area. The hosts were fantastic - providing us with everything we needed on our stay and had great recommendations on what to do while on the island during our stay, they organised day trips for us and gave us all the info we needed about the local area. The room was beautiful, private, and spotless. With the oceanfront view, we could watch the tides go in and out from our bed. We felt relaxed and recharged at the end of our stay. The food was delicious, and included local seafood and dishes too. We would recommened the DeVos residence to anyone and are already planning our trip back here! Thank you for everything!
