“Fiji’s hidden treasure”
The location is so peaceful and really feels like you have escaped into real Fiji. Being on the river gives such great access to both the lake and the sea. Taking the kayak out and drifting with a beer were both such was such a highlights. Simon and Lily and all the salt lake lodge staff are so genuine and lovely. Some of the nicest people we came across on our travels who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We opted for the chef service and Lily cooked us some absolutely delicious meals. Kana vaka levu!

“Warmest homestay!”
That's the best and warmest homestay we've ever experienced! The cyclone disturbed our plan and we had to postponed our check-in time. The owner and her stuffs were super patient to help with us. Lily and Simon took care of us so carefully. Thanks to Lily for perparing gluten free breakfast for me which were delicious hot cakes and pans. Also thanks them for bringing my daughter to fishing. They treated us like their family members! We enjoyed the three days to spend in this private, cozy lodge which connecting with a river directly. It's surrounded by nature and you can stay in the yard to watch the river flowing in front of your eyes or just soak your feet in it! We really enjoy drinking and chatting with the sound of fishes jumpping out of water. The place is not luxury but full of warm and privacy. Highly recommend and we'll choose it again when we come back to Savusavu.

“Great stay!!”
We had an excellent time at Salt Lake Lodge! Our hosts we're so welcoming and made us feel at home. The breakfasts were amazing each morning, the animal friends were a comforting bonus, and the facility/environment exceeded my expectations. We were able to relax and soak in the environment on good days and stormy ones. Loved the freedom to take off on the kayaks where and when we wanted. Air-con in the room was a savior! I definitely recommend this place.

“I will repeat”
Served meals were all excellent. What is served at normal restaurants here all too salty for us. But the one cooked here tastes were moderate and good for us. Very quiet place. At normal beach excursions organized in Denarau, we were always annoyed by loud music but here no nois and there are lovely and friendly two dogs and a cat. Kayaking is recommended activity.

“A little peice of paradise with really good people!”
Everything, it’s basic but comfortable. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortably as possible. Osea’s food cooking was delicious and he has such a good sense of humour! The excursion to the waterfall and visit to the local village was very good and interesting and the rock reef beautiful. I have been left with some special moments. I had a wonderful time at Salt Lake Lodge 😄

“Beautiful small lodge on Vanua Levu, highly highly recommend”
Salt Lake Lodge is an exquisitely beautiful small resort on Vanua Levu that was charming in every way. The staff were kind, down to earth and wonderful. Osea was a wonderful chef! I liked that they only have two rooms, it gives the whole ambience an intimate feel.

“Enjoy nature and good food”
The location is beautiful, especially when the weather is good. We sat on the deck the whole day, watching the tide come in and go out, watching the fish, crabs, mudskipper, and sometimes even seeing an eagle ray. Osea and Mary prepared an excellent breakfast and dinner and helped us organise the bus and more. They and also Simon and Lily are very lovely people.

“This was the best place i have ever stayed at in all my 30 years of travelling. Thank You Salt lake.”
OMG. Out of all the places i have stayed throughout the Pacific and Asia, this was the best. Thought i had died and gone to Heaven. Oscar, Oscar, Lilly, Solo and Maria you were amazing. I have a boy who is on the spectrum and they looked after us like family. I was so emotional saying goodbye. You were the best. Our main chaperone was Oscar and he was so patient and accommodating my sons needs to see all the " Survivor" locations . We experienced beauty , culture and the best of human nature in three days. Oscar is also the most amazing chef and we were blown away with his cooking. Don't miss out on this experience it will one of the best things you ever do. I have travelled to many countries and experienced many cultures and this is the best holiday by far. My hosts with their enthusiasm to make us happy in the most discreet respectful manner were the highlight. The beauty of the region is mind blowing and you must ask and make the effort to see some remote sites, meet the locals and experience the cultures. Meeting local chiefs and experiencing the welcoming ceremony was a highlight for us. The value for money was exceptional. At not one stage did i feel i was being overcharged and quickly formed a relationship with my hosts based on trust and respect. I can not say enough on how good this was and i will be coming back. Love everything about SavuSavu and my new friends. You are family. I just hope i have the chance to come back soon.

Salt lake lodge was the perfect stay for us. It is a little bit out of Savusavu and only has room for two couples so it is very calm and peaceful. All the staff could not be more helpful and welcoming. The food was to die for and definitely recommend the chef service. Would recommend this stay to everyone

“The perfect sanctuary to unwind and relax.”
Unique and located along the river leading to the lake. Away from the commercial resorts and great for unwinding at the end of an action packed trip. Very peaceful and serene with staff that treat you like family.

“Wananavu - wonderful! Vinaka Vakalevu - many many thanks to The Salt Lake Lodge community!”
Very special and atmospheric place. Extremely friendly and sincere staff. If you wish to explore and participate in authentic local traditional happenings like lovo dinner or kava ceremony, Salt Lake Lodge is the place to stay. And never book any guided tours on the Salt Lake from third parties, because if you are staying at Salt Lake Lodge you will get all the equipment and advice for free to do it on your own! Book the romantic dinner on the Salt Lake instead. This comes at an additional cost, but Salt Lake lodge staff and extraordinary chef will go out of their way to turn this into the most amazing and unexpected surprise during your whole stay in Fiji!
