This was our favorite location on the island of Tahiti. The hosts were friendly and helpful and the lodging was very comfortable, with A/C, a very nice pool, and a lovely breakfast served by the host. It was probably the best value of any place we rented during our trip. If i ever return to Tahiti I will most definitely stay here!

A very special place

This is a great place to stay; only 4 rooms, each slightly different, but with great facilities and views. Kitchen/dining room for use of guests is also a pleasant place to be. Great hosts who are good to talk to and share their experience of moving to Tahiti from France and their knowledge of their adopted home. A very special place indeed.

Valerie, our host/owner, was amazing and attentive to all of our needs. We enjoyed the property and the views of Ārue and the beach. Breakfast was great! Croissants are the best! They’re made in house and fresh. Also, Valerie was very knowledgeable of activities and landmarks for tourist to visit. We recommend to anyone visiting tahiti for the first time and looking to get away from big resorts and hotels. Great place!!!

This property is high end. You’re above the hustle and bustle of Tahiti with endless views of the ocean. The full French breakfast in the open air space makes the experience. Take time to get to know Valerie and Lawrence. You’ll be a changed person from their peaceful style.

Inaccurate information - beware!

Hosts Valerie and Laurent were friendly and helpful but this does not override the fact that the information they supplied is inaccurate. There is no restaurant and no coffee shop. They used to offer evening meals but ceased to do this a year ago! There is a breakfast area, but no coffee bar or café, just a coffee machine. All really misleading. I was looking forward to resting in the mountains for a few days. I was between hectic tours and didn’t want to be energetic. Pool and restaurant sounded fine. Except there was nothing in the area to eat at all and nearest shops and restaurants two miles away, down the mountain road. A taxi just down the road to the coast cost 20 USD. Valerie pushed me into renting a car and to be fair, fixed it up for me, driving me to the rental place. So I ended up touring, which was not what I had planned or budgeted for The room was fair. The safe was locked and I couldn’t use it. There’s the teeniest bin you ever saw in your life. Just the one, in the bathroom. It’s a fight to open or close the curtains; the pole is too large for the holes. I have a kettle, tea bags and a bottle of water in a fridge. But no cutlery, mugs or glasses. Nice terrace and swimming pool. Obscured views to the sea and the mountain. Neither are stunning. The Wi-Fi here is shockingly slow to non-existent. I ask about it but am dismissed and told it’s my phone that’s the problem and no-one else has ever complained. Except the Wi-Fi works perfectly on my phone when

A Truly Warm and Welcoming Stay! From the moment we arrived (even at 2am, thanks to Valerie waiting up for us!), we felt right at home. Valerie, Laurent, and Tom made us feel like part of the family. We had good chats about local life in Polynesia. The accommodation is clean, cozy, and spacious - perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. you’ll need a car since it’s up in the hills, but the drive is easy. Every morning, Valerie spoiled us with a delicious breakfast - fresh fruit, pastries, and eggs to start the day off right. Plus, her local tips were spot-on! As first-timers in French Polynesia, we really appreciated her advice not just for Tahiti, but for the other islands too. She even helped us arrange an unforgettable snorkel tour in Moorea with Captain Taina, where we swam with stingrays, reef sharks, and turtles. A highlight of our trip so far! We can’t recommend this place enough!

Great guest house. Tucked in the hills, with a view of the ocean, flowers and roosters crowing. Owners are very nice and helpful. Let us use snorkel equipment and beach towels. They helped us with navigating the island and places to visit. Other guests were also respectful and friendly. They have a fridge and outdoor kitchen to make your own dinner. You need a rental car for here and to see the island.

I absolutely love this place! It's situated in the hills of Tahiti and had beautiful views of the ocean. The rooms were very large and well decorated. The family who owns and manages the property are some of the nicest people I've ever met. They were very accommodating to our requests and provided info about the places to visit on Tahiti and Moorea. I would definitely stay here again.
