Nestled in the lush landscape of the World Heritage Port Town of Levuka, high on the hill overlooking the Koro Sea on the eastern coast of Ovalau, Fiji, lies a treasure - 'Nadugu'.
'Nadugu's rich history is woven with the story of the Patterson family,who owned the house for nearly a century from 1905.
Nadugu is not only a testament to excellent stewardship of the present owner, it is also a reflection of the cultural and historical context of Levuka and Fiji during the time that it was built. Fiji was then a British colony, and the architecture of Nadugu reflects the influence of British Tropical Colonial design.
Spacious rooms with soaring pressed metal ceilings wrapped-around by enclosed verandahs cooled by trade winds flowing through the push-out timber windows and simple furnishings are typical of a modern-day take on old colonial life. Life is lived as it was then in the galleries or on the new and large verandah overlooking a garden which provides for the floral displays in the home as well as the food for the table.
'Nadugu' is not just a house, but a story - a story of a time and a place, of a family and a community. Its legacy is a reminder of the importance of preserving our shared cultural heritage, of honouring the past even as we look to the future. May 'Nadugu' continue to inspire and captivate visitors for generations to come.
