Dave Parker's Eco Lodge

Top choice in Apia


Surrounded by rainforest and boasting jaw-dropping views of the coast, this delightful hilltop spot is an excellent escape from the heat of the big smoke. The main lodge houses eight tidy rooms and a suite; those wishing to get even further away from it all should opt for one of four bungalows set beside the very swimmable river.

Birdwatchers and hikers will find their bliss here; if the isolation gets too much, Dave offers free city transfers Mondays to Saturdays. There's also an excellent restaurant and bar on-site.
