Sotheby’s New Zealand, selling agent Chester Rendell told The Hotel Conversation“ Toberua Island Resort is very special, I have had the privilege of representing two previous owners of Toberua Island Resort to find new buyers and am delighted to represent the current owners Joanne and Glen Inger from New Zealand to help them find new custodians for their amazing freehold boutique island resort.”

The Inger's are now 17 years into their ownership and still running the resort with an amazing passion and determination to ensure their guests are treated to a world class holiday and do they deliver!  They feel that they have had a great 17 years and wish to move on to other challenges, added Mr Rendell.

The Inger's have taken Toberua Island Resort up to a new level.

What impresses me most is the way they have tackled the ownership and operation of the resort in a very professional manner paying attention to detail to ensure everything runs like clockwork especially focusing on the customer experience whilst acknowledging that to maximize the customer experience all aspects of resort infrastructure have to be of the highest quality. In an island location you cannot afford for anything to break down. They have back-up systems for their back-up systems.

They have invested heavily in the islands infrastructure to the point that any new owner will only have to attend to normal repairs and maintenance. The net effect is that the resort and island are now in excess of being 91% self-sustaining - truly remarkable. Diesel use, alone, down by over 90%, said Mr Rendell.

Toberua Island Resort opened in 1968 as Fijis first luxury resort. Over the course of almost 60 years this privately owned five-acre freehold island paradise has had just five owners with the current family purchasing the property in July 2008.

Upon the purchase of Toberua by the Inger's, a conscious decision was made to leave much of the 'Traditional Fijian Aesthetics' untouched. The guest bures are some of the oldest and most traditional in Fiji and that is part of what the high returning clientele are attracted to. This does not mean the upkeep of the resort has been neglected.

Over the last 17 years there have been significant investment in upgrades and infrastructure. Since the beginning of 2023 alone the installation of solar power, a new water treatment plant and a new state of the art waste water treatment plant have been completed plus a full resurface of the swimming pool and an upgrade of many of the kitchen appliances in 2024. These improvements have not just substantially reduced the carbon footprint of the island but also improved the profitability.

Tropical Island living requires reliable infrastructure and Toberua Island Resort is equipped with some of the best. Be it power, water, waste water treatment, transport or communications the current owners have covered it all.

So, if you're looking for adventure or wanting to add this fine boutique resort to your existing operation you must look into this opportunity.  There is an information pack available along with the financial performance details on the signing of a non-disclosure agreement.
