The Wellesley was a lovely resort where the staff are trying their best and meals are lovely however the rooms are quite basic and could be cleaner. It’s great if you are looking to detach from technology and just enjoy the beach, but it is quite far from anything else and there isn’t much cell service. All in all if you’re looking for a private small getaway it’s a nice place to stay.

Our time at the Wellesley was my favourite part about our trip to Fiji. The room was gorgeous, spacious, clean with all the amenities you could need. The resort as a whole was breathtaking, with incredibly meticulous tropical landscaping and a view of the reef from the pool and restaurant that would make you shed a tear at dinner time. But all of that was shadowed by the elite level service we recieved by the staff on site. The chef, Raj, took in to consideration our vegetarian dietary requirements and stunned us with mouth watering food everyday. No meal was exactly the same - a true master of his craft.

Hands on manager Riz lovely and restaurant Jack ensures dining experience perfect with welcoming smile and nice fresh food options. Enjoyed bushwalking and fishing with local employee.

We stayed one night and it was lovely. The road there was horrendous but it was worth it for the isolation it created. Very small and minimal in set up but worth the trek. Not we’d stay too long there again due to the isolation but it was perfect for our overall holiday in Fiji.

this is the second time i have been to this property, i love the way this place makes me feel. if you are after a small, quiet resort you can enjoy the beach, bush, pool & restaurant in peace and quiet, lots of time to read books, enjoy the beach, feel local (next to the village) yet totally secluded this is the place for you. internet access is average, and you may not have a TV in your room, but you don't come here for the technology, you come to re-center and relax. food is okay (gets boring quickly) bring LOTS of snacks, fruit, drinks (incl. water) and your own milk for your room. yes, the breakfast is small but i personally loved the porridge and fresh fruit each morning. yes, the place needs a bit of a re-fresh (the air-conditioning desperately needs servicing) and it would be nice if they got some new kayaks, and snorkeling gear. if you want the big resort stuff, like big breakfasts & daily activities, go and stay at a big resort. if you want peace, come here.

Alcohol free resort!

Lovely spot. Driving in was difficult due to heavy rain and condition of the driveway. Was very surprised to find out when we arrived that this is an alcohol free resort due to owners religious beliefs. This was not communicated anywhere when booking. Very disappointing and not what you expect for an adults only resort.

The staff and the grounds are amazing, with an almost private beech in front of resort and an even more private beech a few minutes walk away. The road in is rough and it is at least 30 minutes drive to the nearest store. Sadly the resort no longer operates a bar or sells alcohol so you must BYO or walk 10 minutes to the Barefoot Resort. Breakfast and dinner excellent and good value for Fiji. Would stay again but bring more supplies.

Recently stayed for two weeks The resort feels like it was built 20 years ago and nothing had been done since. It’s undeniably in a beautiful surrounding with a small village next door but definitely out of town. Great for a pool side only holiday but food could do with some variety Still enjoyed our time away felt very peaceful

Stunning and with Amazing Staff!

Very private and peaceful! Talica and the staff were so helpful and friendly. You could not have a more welcoming and hospitable staff at a resort like this. I loved how private and quiet the beach is and it is so beautiful! Yes the decking around the pool may need some work done but the pool is still great. The food was lovely as well. I booked in a massage by Mary at the nearby village. She has a little beach bure at the village for it and I felt so relaxed afterwards. Just a caution for those wanting to book here, if you're taking a vehicle, you may need a car/ute that doesn't ride so low. The road can be a bit rough.

could be better

On the plus side this is a great location and the place is very clean, plus food was good. The staff were friendly but could have been more attentive, and too much loud music spoiled the atmosphere ( this was more for the staff than the customers). The resort needs some maintenance, particularly the deck around the pool which is a safety risk it is so rotten. We wouldn’t bother going back.

Service and staff were excellent, great quiet resort away from the large hotels. Food was top class, however some parts of the resort are looking tired. eg: Pool decking, path lighting , and the dirt road in ( would be a challenge in the rain.)

This was the 3rd time that we had stayed at the Wellesley. It is the perfect place to just sit, relax and unwind and start our holiday off. It is a hidden paradise, with a tropical atmosphere. It is a bit out of the way from the hustle and bustle, but if you are just after some peace and quiet, this is the place to go. We last visited the Wellesley about 4 years ago and on our last visit it needed a lot of TLC and repairs and therefore we had decided not to return. When looking on the internet, we saw a lot of improvements had been made and some rooms even had their own plunge pools, so we decided to give it a go once again. We were not disappointed and learnt that it now has new management. The food was beautiful and the staff very helpful and friendly. Congratulations to all involved for improving this little piece of paradise in Fiji.
