Our hosts: Richard and Vaea were ones of the most hospitable hosts who we’ve encountered. They made us feel at home at their beautiful place. They made delicious breakfasts, super helpful, and very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with them!

The hosts Richard and Via were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay. Richard was a wealth of information of where we should go on our visit. He served us an unexpected French breakfast the first morning and a farewell Tahitian breakfast on our last day. We truly enjoyed their hospitality in their clean city center home.

Wonderful Hosts!!

Richard and Via were tremendous hosts. Richard welcomed us the first morning with a traditional French breakfast. He gave us lots of recommendations on places to see. We were among other guests at the property, but it still seemed private. At the end of our stay we had a traditional Tahitian breakfast and a nice farewell! The place was very clean and accommodating. Very nice stay!

The room was nice and clean, and the house were very nice. The grounds were beautiful and green. My only issue with the property was the rooster or many roosters that live nearby. I did have some nights where I had a hard time sleeping, but it wasn’t bad enough to take away any stars.

Séjour très agréable

J’ai passé un excellent séjour à l’Hiiaka chambre. La chambre est très agréable et la literie très confortable. Le jardin et la piscine sont très agréables. La propriétaire a été adorable et très accueillante. Tout a été parfait. Le seul « hic » est la localisation de la location qui n’est pas dans le meilleur quartier de Papeete. En tout cas, je remercie Vaea qui a été une hôte exceptionnelle.

Magnifique !

Je n’ai rien à redire, tout était parfait ! C’est un endroit très lumineux, agencé et décoré avec beaucoup de goût, et l’on s’y sent très bien. La piscine est un plus, et l’on est près de tout. Quant à nos hôtes, leur gentillesse est sans égale ! Merci pour cette magnifique semaine, qui m’a permis de goûter tout de suite au meilleur de la Polynésie.
