Budget Hotels in Southern Islands, Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific

"I am so so impressed with this resort. We are a family of 4 and had the most memorable holiday. The resort responded to my questions very quickly (prior to arriving). Check in was flawless (loved the welcome gifts). Room was as described and daily cleaned. Plenty of staff to give every guest attention. The staff were the friendliest and most helpful. The kids loved the daily family activities. Natadola beach was pristine and you can snorkel just Infront of the hotel. We missed out on buffet last day but Loved the breakfast boxes and coffee delivered to our room. Also loved the staff singing to us at breakfast!! "

"ok and enjoyed"

"We stayed here for a week, and there was plenty to keep ourselves and our 7 year old entertained. We were initially hesitant to put our son in kids club, but he had an absolute blast. There are three sessions of kids club each day: morning, afternoon and evening. The evening one is great as it allows the adults to have a peaceful dinner together while the kids race frogs and party. The beach and reef were better than we expected from the mainland, and there were lots of gorgeous fish to spot snorkelling. Shout out to the staff who took amazing care of everyone and adapted well to a cyclone that rolled through. The indoor bingo and family quizzes were an excellent plan B for bad weather. "

"The property was great but while our three day stay there we realized we bought some jewelry and it had gone missing. We have been trying to get a hold of the property and it’s has not been successful "

"We recently stayed at Hideaway Resort and were extremely disappointed. This is not the same place we visited 10 years ago—it’s now run down, neglected, and clearly gone backwards. Our first night in Bure 100 was unbearable. Located right next to the highway, the constant noise from trucks and buses made sleep impossible. On top of that, the room was poorly cleaned, with dust on the bed and pillows—completely unacceptable. We arrived late from Nadi, yet the staff weren’t even aware of our check-in. The warm Fijian welcome we once experienced—garlands and drinks—was completely missing. It felt disorganised and indifferent. After complaining, we were moved to Bure 97. While quieter, it was at the far end of the resort. With an infant, the long walks were frustrating, but we didn’t bother pushing further. The decline in food and service was the biggest letdown. Options are now limited and disappointing. One morning, we were just 10 minutes late for breakfast due to our infant and asked for something small. The chef flatly refused—no flexibility, no care. That attitude says everything about how far standards have dropped. To make matters worse, there has been no improvement to the bures—rundown bathrooms, no daily room service, and no telephone. Staff seem trained only to say “Bula” and play the Lalli for arrivals and departures, rather than provide genuine service. Overall, a very poor experience. We won’t be returning—there are far better options like Shangri-La and Warwic"

"Bedarra Beach Inn is a gem! The property is small, but well maintained. Our room was spacious, clean, and had a great view of the beach and pool. However, what made our stay so special and perfect was the outstanding staff who made every effort to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The staff truly elevated our experience! The Bedarra Inn is located in a quiet area. There are restaurants within walking distance and the Outrigger Resort is just down the beach. You can also easily take a bus into town. I recommend the Bedarra Beach Inn if you are looking for a quiet place on the Coral Coast. The staff will make you feel like the Bedarra Inn is your home away from home!"

"the individual units with air conditioning were great and the location is fine if you don't mind being 1-2 hrs from the action. I like it very much but it may not be the best for everyone so do your homework. the restaurant is average and not the type you expect for a resort experience. there are no nearby restaurants so unless you want to taxi $30 away or settle for a burger or mediocre fish dinner there are few alternatives. But to rest in a remote location on a beautiful beach and snorkel a wonderful area this is fine. I suggest shopping for some fine foods to have in your unit for your stay to treat yourself to during your stay."

"Ive known the warick since it was known as the Hyatt. So its been around for a while. And rooms and property has been maintained to to high standard for its age. The staff are great as per usual. Hot tub wasn't working but the weather made up for it. All bars bars and bar staff grea "

"Amazing staff, super friendly! Great atmosphere and many restaurants. We loved. Everything was perfect. Great beach and full of activities to do. My kids had so much fun with the inflatable."
