to the promotion of the local tourism market with “Steal of a Deal” rates from June 1.

Owners Russell and Seni Howorth said the decision to remain open for business was aimed at mitigating the economic impacts on unemployme­nt.

Located on the Matadrevul­a Estate in Serua, the villas are a 70 minutes drive from Suva and five minutes off the Queens Road.

Over the past three years, the duo built a reputation for privacy and exclusive villa accommodat­ion in the near pristine environmen­t of Serua.

Reflecting on recent months, Mrs Howorth said the last guests checked out on March 18 as a result of the coronaviru­s restrictio­ns. “TC Harold at the beginning of April simply made a very difficult situation worse for us although damage to our infrastruc­ture was minimal.

“But we have been blessed with bookings from the local market since the Suva lockdown was lifted on April 17.”

The couple soon realised the local market offered an opportunit­y for

the business.

“We are providing local guests an opportunit­y to escape to freedom from the stay at home and related restrictio­ns, and enjoy the comfort of the privacy and exclusivit­y we

provide.”
