I like how calm it was...clean and friendly staff...

Stayed in April 2024

Perhaps more family friendly? no games or toys for kids. No simple coffee filters for coffee machine, no garbage can in bungalow (just small one in bathroom and on porch) Beach is not very swimmable at the time of year we were there a notice about this would have been nice. Maybe mosquito coil for outside time (?)- maybe posted guide of recommendations for grocery/meals/excursions for easy reference

Clean, quiet and private.

All about the accommodation and all services/help and kindnesses from the owner Carlos were fantastic and made our journey and stay unforgettable

Stayed in January 2024

Some things were showing signs of wear and tear but this is expected when it is so close to the sea with corrosion.

The property was right on the beach so you could hear the waves. It had everything you needed, even Netflix. The bed was very comfortable and had a mosquito net. It had a lovely terrace to sit on which was great when it was raining. It is a rural location so a car is needed to get out and about but I only had the car for the first week of my 2 week stay and that was ok. They have a washing machine that you can use but no drier. Hina is very helpful as is Carlos, nothing was too much trouble for them and they made my whole stay very pleasant.

The property needs a little bit interior cosmetic remodeling.

A great location, right on the beach and you can hear the ocean at night in the bungalow. Conveniently located for all attractions, grocery stores and restaurants. The owner and the manager of the property very friendly and always willing to help with anything, and the sweetest lovely dog, who is guarding the property.

Air-conditioning was great but did not have a control.

interior was less than ‘rustic’. contact paper on kitchen table and around stove top peeling off. remote for air conditioner didn’t work due to missing spring in battery area. no paper towels or tissues provided. no dish towels for drying dishes -had to use bath towel used bath towel as hot mitt to remove tray from toaster oven

exterior was exactly as expected. well maintained and lovely

Stayed in February 2023

Just make sure you have plenty of insect repellent and if you wish to sit outside in the evening you will need coils to burn.

The bungalows are well equipped and right on a beach. Ideal for a couple or adults with kids. The little dog Fare is adorable and very good at digging for crabs.

the mosquitoes and how far away everything was .

it was right by beach. the beach was literally our backyard it was awesome

Stayed in June 2022

A little bungalow right by the sea. At night you can hear the waves on the beach. The bungalow was all self contained with cooking facilities and fridge and air con and fans. It had an outdoor area with a BBQ. We really enjoyed our stay here, it was beautiful. There is a bus service from Papeete or you can rent a car via the accommodation. About 40 kms from Papeete but only about 8kms from Taravao. In a little town you can buy fresh fish straight from the boat at the weekend, it has a small Carrefore and a Supermarket U.

good

Stayed in November 2023

The fale was very dark, which wasnt helped by the cold misty weather, our cups and dishes were not clean. The place has a dog and I think others visit. The person looking after the place didnt clean up after the dogs so there was quite a few dog bombs around that you had to avoid, Dogs everywhere on the island so get used to that hehe, and the road noise was rather a let down, really busy first thing in the morning 5.30am 6.30am

I love visiting the islands and I do not like giving bad reviews as each to their own in what they like as a holiday space to stay. I will say that when we stayed here we had booked in for three nights. We arrived and the weather was cold and misty and raining, we had that for two days, yes you get that in the Islands. We pulled out after two nights and went back around to the sunny side and stayed an extra night in Papeete. I can totally see this place being a nice place if you have sun lol and the section was better looked after

The dog Fare was our favorite travel pet ever! He is the sweetest and will love to accompany you to the beach by flashlight and entertain you with his crab hunting! Great bungalow in a beautiful spot situated close to Iti.

Nothing!!!

Great location! Serene and peaceful! Right on a black sand beach that is great to swim and snorkel. We rented a cat from Carlos too. It was great to travel all around the island. Dori, the dog, was wonderful and a great protector.

Absolutely gorgeous, Carlos took such great care of us from the airport throughout are stay. He even retrieved our ferry tickets and insured we arrived on time . The huts are perfect and the staff is warm and welcoming Private beach and fresh fruit in the fridge I'm so glad we did not stay in the city It's a beautiful drive along the coastline and you can rent a car directly from him . I cannot say enough about his hospitality.
