We recently spent a week here and it was more like staying with friends than being a 'customer'. The resort, rooms, facilities themselves are great, but what really makes this place are the owners and the staff. Everything was taken care of and nothing too much trouble. While my partner was out enjoying the surf, I (non-surfer) could get up... More

A surf resort? Yes. But also a great place to go for a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday. You can do as much or as little as you want. The pool area is just great for reading a book, chatting with other guests, relaxing with a cuppa (or cocktail) and taking in the magnificent view. The meals are served around the... More

How many times do you enjoy a holiday so much and vow "we'll definitely be back" never to return as you get caught up with other destinations and experiences. Well for the first time ever we kept our word and returned to Brian and Donna's little slice of paradise, albeit 2 years later. Testament to them that most of the... More

My wife (non-surfer) and I have just spent a week with the wonderful crew at Matanivusi! Brian, Donna and staff were friendly, accommodating and made us feel at home. No request was too difficult and our expectations were met or exceeded. The surf was consistent and uncrowded, with only 3 guests and Brian or Lesi (from Matanivusi) in the water... More

I just enjoyed the most amazing 8 days of paradise with my girlfriends. My girlfriends & I needed a break away from the rush we all call life. We were picked up from the airport & from there we laughed & giggled for the rest of our 8 days of fun & sun. Bryan, Donna & staff pampered us totally.... More

Oh my goodness! If you think this place LOOKS amazing multiply your expectations by 129 and you'll be in the ballpark. From the moment we were greeted at the airport by Brian "The Oracle", the laughs and lunacy didn't stop. The whole crew made us feel like part of the family from the get-go and by the first few delicious,... More

We just spent a week at Matanivusi on the Saltmotion "All Girls Surf Trip" and essentially ate and surfed through the whole week. Thanks God for all the surfing, snorkelling and cruising around on the SUP's or otherwise I would have put on about 10 kgs during the week. The food really is something else - impossible to say no!... More

I've been to surf camps around the globe with amazing waves and I've been to resorts around the world with great accommodation. Mantanavusi combines the best of both or should I say all worlds! The water is crystal clear great diving snorkeling and paddle boarding....Did I mention the surf? There are four great breaks within a 5 minute boat ride... More
