Are the facilities of Taveuni
Estates free for residents use?
Residents may use the Estate's facilities including
the golf course, tennis courts, clubhouse and swimming
pool free of charge.
Is
there a power supply on Taveuni Island?
All residents of Taveuni Estates provide their own power.
Each house should have its own power generation system.
We have experimented with many. Some are 100% solar, some
diesel etc. We have found the most economical system is
a combination of butane gas for refrigerators, stoves
etc., with the new silent diesel generators with battery
supplementation through inverters. This system is cheap
to run and the most efficient. Some residents on the estate
have included solar panels together with the above specification.
Our support team here at Taveuni Estates is geared to
advise on all these matters. The Fiji government is also
planning to introduce a hydro electric power in the not
too distant future.
Is
there mobile phone coverage on Taveuni Estates?
If you have a GSM phone with you, we can provide you

by renting a phone. You may also enquire about international
roaming with your own Mobile Service Provider
