To each their own, as they say. If you are looking for a prepackaged resort-like option you might be better off trying other parts of the island. However for two mid-budget travelers the place was great.

I stayed at Tovu Tovu with my brother for a total of three nights at a cost of roughly US $50 per night for the two of us. The bures, while not extravagant are exceptionally clean, and we always found them spotless after returning from a day of diving or checking out the natural wonders of Taveuni. While Alan, the owner and proprietor, was happy to recommend other restaurants on the island we found the best meals in the Tovu Tovu kitchen. Friendliness abounds on Taveuni, and Tovu Tovu was no exception.

Good value, nice basic room, hot water and kitchenette.
I stayed one week and enjoyed it . A few days after I left, I realized I had forgotten a knife that was a gift and very special to me. They looked in the room and found the knife.
Honest people there make you feel welcome.

Well, no-one was expecting 5*, but this was something else. Well as soon as we were shown into the bure by a lovely fijian lady, we knew we were in for a sleepless night. The floor was COVERED with ants absolutely everywhere! The staff however were very pleasant and I feel bad for leaving such a bad review.
Basic is an understatement, we were relieved to go Bibi's up the road the following night.
Taveuni however is amazing, just a shame there is no mid-range accommodation.

Stayed here for five days in January 2007 with my husband and three daughters. Had trouble making the booking by email as the proprietor, Alan, took over a month to answer my (many) emails. This complete indifference by management epitomised our stay. This place is three minutes from the airport, and Alan has a van, but there was no offer to pick us up, leaving us to the dishonest devices of a van driver who charged $25.00 for that three minute drive. We had two bure - one for us and one for the girls. Ours was basic but okay. The girls' was a dump. Ours had no hot water for the entire duration of our stay even though Alan promised to come over and fix it every day. The food was nice, if a little overpriced, but the small menu never changed and by the fifth day we were jaded with the same choices. At night the place is jumping with the locals from the nearby village who come to play pool on the pool table. I noticed that as one of only two guest parties we were totally ignored by Alan and certainly did not get any priority on the pool table which was the only entertainment in the whole of Matei. The sea is across the road, but there is no beach. We found very little to do most of the time and Alan was of absolutely no help in making any suggestions. The worst thing was that the local boys who crowded the place at night constantly preyed on our girls (the youngest of whom was 11) such that we had to be on our guard at all times and were worried to leave them in the bure by themselves at night. The stay was capped off with an attempt by Alan to charge us a higher rate than he had quoted at the time of booking. I would not even describe this place as "ordinary" as that is too complimentary. We were bowled over by the indifference of management. If Alan's lovely mother Maria had not been staying there at the time we would have had no local conversation at all. The bill was still several thousand dollars for the five days. My advice is, avoid this place if you can.
