“Kaireva Beach House is my home away from home. It is where I rest and restore my soul. Near enough to Muri to be convenient but far enough to be peaceful. Hosts Susanna & Robert care about your needs and are attentive yet not intrusive. They are only too willing to share their local knowledge and advice going out of their way to look after their guests like family.
The position by Avana harbour is idyllic and private and looks out over the lagoon to two smaller islands which are perfect for kayaking to and swimming. There are turtles, whales (in the season) just off the harbour entrance and snorkelling nearby. Robert will call the giant trevally in to feed them off the wharf and show you huge coconut crabs. He also keeps your fruit basket stocked with papaya, passionfruit and coconut from the garden.
The house is spanish cedar milled on the island and built by the owners. The wood gives off a beautiful ambience inside the house as does the soaring ceiling. The lovely rustic kitchen with its wooden benches is a joy to cook in should you decide to cook at home sometimes.It opens out onto a large deck with great outdoor seating where you can sit with your coffee or glass of wine and look out over the tropical garden to the lagoon.
This was my second visit to Kaireva and I can’t imagine wanting to be anywhere else on the island. I dream about it when I am back home, and it is indeed like my second home. It restores my soul.
It is definitely 5 stars to me.”
