Vanira Lodge

Vanira Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We liked everything about Vanira Lodge, in particular the quirky accommodation, the grounds, the views, the restaurant, the roosters and the wonderfully helpful and friendly owners and staff. The driveway to the lodge was potentially a bit tricky if a vehicle was coming from the opposite direction, but that never happened during our stay. In summary, I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying staying at Vanira Lodge."

Punatea Village

Punatea Village

8/10 Good
"This is a great property if you wish to explore the south side of the island, or if you have your own vehicle. Unfortunately it is NOT 2.5 miles from the airport or the cruise ship port. It is on the opposite side of the island, Depending on traffic, a 90 - 150 minute drive. $115 taxi drive. You can get a 3 day tourist bus pass for 1 franc (a bus ride is 4 francs) but the busses stop running at 4:00 local time. The closest grocery store (outstanding selection of fresh fruit & veggies, meats, and baked goods) or restaurant is 2.5 kilometers from Punatea Village. I would stay there again, but only if I had a rental vehicle."

Villa Paradise Tahiti, an extraordinary view with a pool and jacuzzi & free car

10/10 Excellent
"This home was better than the pictures. I was pleasantly surprised that it fit the listing and reviews pretty accurately. The host offered to pick us up from the ferry which was nice. I chose to rent a car because it worked best for our situation but they have a car available which is nice since the house is a bit remote. They had beach towels and some beach toys available to borrow. The pool was heated and kept at a pleasant temperature for swimming. I would defiantly recommend this place to friends and family. You will not be disappointed."

Villa Vaiava - private infinity pool on the beach

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed every bit of our stay here. The property was beautiful and we really appreciated being able to use the SUP and snorkel equipment. Great snorkeling right out the door! The host was very accommodating and responsive to any questions we had. We loved the open air common spaces, The bedroom layout worked perfect for our family and the A/C units in the 3 main bedrooms kept the sleeping temperatures very comfortable. We loved visiting the nearby park and beach and available food trucks next door. This was a perfect place to start our trip before traveling to other islands."

"The property was beautifully maintained with a lovely eating area overlooking the ocean, surrounded by lush tropical garden and a pool to dip in to escape the heat. Rooms are spacious, lovely decorated and very comfortable king bed. Best part on top of all this is the Hostess Valerie who makes you feel like family. Nothing is too much for her, and s beautiful breakfast daily available with other guests and Valerie felt like we were visiting friend rather than staying on our holidays. Highly recommend, merci beaucoup Valerie."

8/10 Good
"Overall a nice place to stay with a few caveats. Easy check-in with the keys on the counter and quick response by email. We stayed in Aura where two rooms have AC and one does not - was not a problem for our stay. The third room has a fan. The rooms have plenty of open shelf space for clothes.The deck overlooking the lagoon and private pool were favorites. There was a nice breeze during our stay. Bring bug spray though (as with most places on island). It would have been nice to have hand towels and wash clothes, not just bath and beach towels. Also, some hooks in the bedroom to hang up towels or clothes. The shower has body wash and shampoo; some shelves for personal washing supplies would be helpful. There was a lot of roof noise one particular night from what we think were birds collecting seeds from the tree overhead. Our neighbors didn't have the same foilage so this may be specific to our Villa. It bothered some of us more than others, so if you are a light sleeper, the islands of Tahiti in general can be noisy with dogs, roosters and other wildlife. The WiFi worked well but we had to request the password. This proved difficulty since we had spotty personal service. There were chocolates left for us at check-in which was a nice welcome. Thank you for sharing your Villa with us."

"This place is magical. Beautifully landscaped, the decor and layout is inviting and original. The owner, Martine, was incredibly helpful with any needs we had, full of tips on what to do and proud to share her knowledge of the place. It is a tranquil oasis, interrupted only by the clucking of roaming chickens and roosters. Perfect for a relaxing get away in paradise."
