Situated at the southern end of Matacawalevu, Long Beach is a peaceful family-run resort. Backpacker accommodation is an eight-bed dorm right on the beach front. The tidy but basic bure is charming, clean and spacious. Each bed has its own fly net and there is plenty room under the beds to store backpacks.
Apart from the fantastic staff and idyllic, sweeping lagoon location, this resort boasts first-class food. Meals are cooked fresh every day from local produce and include fresh fruit, Fijian curry and locally caught fish. The only downside to Long Beach is the basic shower and bathroom facilities. The cold-water showers are primitive but clean.
Catering for a maximum of twenty guests, the atmosphere is welcoming and you get a real feel for traditional Fijian life. After dinner the staff welcome guests to sit and drink Kava while exchanging stories and playing traditional board games. The staff offer guided walks and village visits daily, which are well worth the extra couple of dollars.
Don’t miss the fantastic afternoon teas served in a mini bure, five minutes walk along the beach from the main resort. The banana cake is delicious!
