Conveniently located just a 5-minute drive from the Papeete ferry wharf, Fare Suisse provides an excellent base for visitors of Tahiti. This guest house provides free WiFi and is set in a lush tropical garden.

Friendly staff, rooms very clean, breakfast was full of options and had a very good price. Free shuttle to and from the airport is really useful if you have flights in the morning or in the evening and car hire is more complicated. Location is relatively close to the city centre and there are plenty of shops around.

The owners, a married couple, Luc and Laurence,understand hospitality. It was a true treat to stay in the small, intimate oasis, hidden behind a door and a hedge complete with a pool. We stayed in the Anqanqa room, which was a large space with its own adjoining garden, and well equipped kitchen area, all thoughtfully designed to create an incredible casual bohemian and Tahitian feel. It is an easy 10 minute walk through safe streets to Central Pepeete. It is a perfect place to stay if you are looking for affordable, clean and friendly accommodation with yummy yummy breakfast included. The supermarket is located an easy 2 to 3 minute walk away. We highly recommend this accommodation, and would definitely stay again when returning!!

Amazing place at walking distance from the city centre. The room was clean, cosy and comfortable, with air-conditioning and free wi-fi. The shared area was very nice too, with a fully-equipped kitchen and a TV. Nadine, the owner, was super nice and helped us however she could. She even picked us up from the city centre. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to everybody!!!

So glad we chose to stay here. Fred was a fantastic host. He allowed us a late check-out, since our flight was leaving in the evening and he gave us the best tips for our stay. We followed his advice exactly and had a great time. So thank you Fred. We definitely recommend staying here if you go to Tahiti.

The host family is great. Friendly and awesome helpful! Amazing. The place is surrounded by nature and a waterfall in the forest. Beside your own room you can use the common living room and terrace which are huge and offer a great experience like sitting in the rainforest. Since there are only 2 rooms, you have the place sometimes really for yourself. Its a really nice place to stay for a cheap price.

    Apartment was clean, and kitchen with required utensils, coffee, sugar all was there. Secured parking lot, View from apartment was great, Close from airport (around 15 mins). Rental is recommended, apartment in uphill. Great host and my flight was delayed and he waited until 10 PM to receive me. Once down hill there are shops, gas station, freeway. Restroom and shower are good and think recently renovated, you can provide hair shampoo.

    The apartment was clean, and this apartment has all the facilities for cooking, washing machine, and a hair dryer. Bed was very comfortable, and air con units in the lounge and bed room was fantastic. Great location in the centre of Papeete and easy to access. Good host who was very communicative and offered advice on things to see and do in Tahiti.

    Great hosts, very helpful. Quirky little boutique guest house. 1.5 km from the city centre. Supermarket only 1 block away. Commununal kitchen area as well as our own seperate outside kitchen/sitting area. We found the outside communal area more comfortable to sit as the breeze flowed through under the roof.
