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 guest house is fitted with a flat-screen TV. Towels and bed linen are featured in the guest house. The property offers sea views.

As an added convenience, the guest house offers packed lunches for guests to bring on excursions and other trips off-property.

The host is a lovely, adorable and warm person. We stayed for two weeks in French Polynesia and in some fancy hotels. However, this place was by far the best in terms of feeling welcome and feeling the warmth of Polynesian people. The bungalow is super clean, modern and has a range of cooking facilities. The host prepared us some wonderful dinner for a very reasonable price that we enjoyed with a most beautiful view of Papeete. The host also picked us up at the airport and dropped us off again in the middle of the night for our flight home. It was just the perfect way of finishing our holiday.

We're very glad we found this place for the night. We received warm, very accommodating welcome even though our plane was delayed and we arrived late at night. The setting is wonderful and you can hear the river and wake up to palm trees. Would definitely stay again if we need a place in 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.

    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.
