Villas in Salamumu

Brand new pods (2) located right opp the resort entrance. No clutter! I had the back dark grey pod which is great and has a spare room for luggage. The matrass was super comfy and clean. This is a place that does not smell of milddew nor had mold because it is brand new. I had a good rest as i was coming down with a cold from the relentless days of rain and strong winds (unexpected for May) Lunch and Dinner are a nice stroll distance to the resort (another of Ramo s tips!) where you can pay by card. 24 hr taxi stand is also only like a 3 min walk and they are good people. 20 tala to robert louis stevenson and 7 to palolo deep (can also walk 2km). Note that this property turned out not have facilities to pay by card on arrival as yet- so bank transfer to NZD account or pay with card through airbnb or being able carrying a few hundred USD in (Tala) cash is the way to go atm (May 2025). Ramo can organise a 2.30 am legit taxi pick up for you if you have that early 5 am flight out, so you can be assured and pricing is the same (90 tala). Malentino is an fab driver, can hold an interesting conversation and his van is clean, so it is comfortable to ride the 45 min to the airport. Best is the landlord Ramo with any help you need he will assist though whats app. Eg an umbrella for the rains or replaces a smelling blanket and as it was my birthday he offered to lend me one of his guitars and brought over the Sunday paper out of his own initiative, which was absolutely fab! Also brought over some fruits and gave me a lift to a place 5 min away which was soo kind! I booked 3 nights over the Mothersday long weekend and extended my stay with a night. I’m the first guest on through booking.com and highly recommend it! The pods is quiet at night and one can close the gate which adds to feeling of safety (I’m a solo women traveler).

Very reasonably priced Big space and nice beds with air con in every room. Having amenities like freezer and laundry was really awesome

Location/Facilities/Garden setting: Perfect for our family and for our elderly father. It was our home away from home.

The open spacious living area and rooms. The fact that theres a washing machine and dryer and two bathrooms.The price was fair and close to stores, the market and town.The nice vibe of the area, the coconut trees and the hospitality from the owners.

Ifiele’ele Plantation is a really beautiful property. We stayed in The Villa & just loved it. The glass doors open out to a patio where you can sit, looking out over the beautiful pool & an amazing vista beyond. Perfect place to read a book & listen to the birds. Paul & Joan were fabulous hosts, really friendly & helpful but not the slightest bit intrusive. They made us feel very welcome.

It was clean with all aircon working. Laundry facilities. Easy communication with host. Nice quiet neighbours and close to town.

Hosts were very accomodating and proactive in responding to messages. Thank you very much and appreciate the constant communication. Will highly reccommend
