Accommodation in Savusavu ranges from basic guesthouses in town to the lavish
Cousteau
Resort
out on Lesiaceva Point. Hotels in Savusavu town are dull but adequate for exploring
the restaurants and sometimes rowdy bars. Staying in the hills or at Lesiaceva Point is a lot
more interesting and only a few dollars' taxi ride away.
