Takalana is in an incredible location with panoramic views of land and sea. It's secluded and very peaceful but with large grounds. It's only a small capacity accommodation wise, which keeps it quiet and relaxing. Bures (rooms) are medium or large, pleasant and have en suite bathroom and kitchen. Fresh meals were very tasty and plentiful, served by extremely friendly... More

Boat trip to Moon reef was wonderful.I realized that moon reef is much closer to mainland than expected. So close to the mainland but... More

What a relaxing place to stay! The bures are cosy and nice, with a beautiful ocean view. Mosquito nets are provided for over all the beds, as there is no air conditioning there. We were a group of four people and stayed in a bure with one double bed, one bunk bed and one single bed. It was self contained... More

We had a fantastic trip to Takalana, with Jay as an excellent host for the day. Being on my first cruise, with only 8 hours in the port of Suva, it was a tall request to have a day trip to Takalana. But, we decided to go for it, and I can report that my husband, skeptical father-in-law and I... More

This resort is for people who want to experience the 'real' Fiji. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming - and you are literally one of the family with children running and playing - it's wonderful. There are 2 Bure rooms which means the resort never gets too crowded. Our reason for travelling up here was to see the... More

I went with my sister and a friend who is actually from Nardi (different part of fiji), but never knew this place existed! We all fell in love with the natural beauty of Takalana. From the peaceful atmosphere and sounds of the rolling waves to the playful dolphins who go there to chill... which should tell you all you need... More

We will never forget the time we spent in Takalana - thank you for welcoming us and looking after us so well. The beach, the river and waterfalls, the food and not to mention the dolphins were all wonderful but best of all was watching our kids all play with the local children and feeling in tune with the environment...

Takalana was one of five stops in Fiji during our visit for a friend's wedding in Suva; it was the highlight. We were a family of five travelling with a "friend family" of seven and kids ranging from near sixteen to three years of age. We arrived in the evening having been collected by boat from Naigani island by Gebbye.... More

We really enjoyed this place. It was recommended by friends in Suva and it's already a very popular expat getaway. Book early to make sure you get in, they only sleep about 12 people. The rooms are basic, but charming and fun. It's in a great location up overlooking the bay with an excellent view of the offshore islands and... More
