We were delighted to pull into the driveway of Cocomo to explore, only to find a Fijian utopia, just off the main highway! Cocomo is a gorgeous acre or so of land, right on the beach, in immaculate grounds, with 2 Bures to rent and a divine traditional looking sand floored Bure, which serves as a restaurant. We instantly fell in love. We were met by a super friendly Fijian man who with his wife lives on site and seems to be gardener, fisherman, and general caretaker of the place. He is clearly doing an amazing job, because the place is divine!! Gorgeous garden, wonderful Bures with small balconies overlooking the gardens and the ocean. The food in the restaurant is cooked by a Korean chef, who with her Japanese surfing instructor husband, own the place and make a great team. We had a 5 course meal of her choice with gorgeous sushi, a wonderful lentil dish, they cooked some coral trout abd Rock cod that we had caught that too. All was wonderfully executed and super tasty, all eaten while staring out the open windows to the gorgeous view, it could not have been better. They also have 2 gorgeous little dogs, one a rowdy puppy and the other a demure white pup. They weren't around the 2 times we came for supper, but when I first visited the gardens and had an official tour, they ran along side us being cute and friendly.
The restaurant only serves water and lovely home made lemonade, but who doesn't love bring your own restaurants anyway?
I'm delighted that such a business exists and that we found it made a real difference to our stay on the Coral Coast, we will definitely be back next year, with friends!
