"This is one of the most unique properties we have ever stayed in. Snuggled against the lush mountain side with a spectacular view of the lagoon, the Vanira Lodge is a must if in the Teahupoo area. We stayed here in 2015 and it was magical. We were so excited to be back and it was just as magical as the first time. Merci!"

"Spacious 3 bedroom villa with great air conditioning in bedrooms, wonderful deck and plunge pool. Handy to have washing machine. Close to good restaurants. Welcome guide would be helpful or more communication with host / front desk re garbage etc. We had no mosquitoes and sat outside at dusk and in the evenings. Wonderful stay!"

"The Teahupo’o surf break is basically directly out front (off-shore at the reef, of course) but water taxis are right at the shore by the front gate of pension so the location could not be better from that POV.
It’s a short walk (5 minutes) on a nice beach path from the Teahupo’o photo wave spot and Olympic rings, or you can drive to the pension and park but only if you’ve got a vehicle capable of river-crossing - so that adds to the charm of the place as well.

A wonderful hidden gem...the property itself is very spacious, stylish and well equipped. The views from the patio area are stunning and it is incredibly quiet.
Vaite looked after us amazingly well and made sure our last day in French Polynesia before returning home was extra special. Since it is far away from Tahiti, it is probably best to rent a car to explore the area as there is a lot to see.

Wonderful views and the whole site on the side of a mountain has Fairy Terns and long tailed Tropic birds flying over. We stayed for seven nights in bungalow Vai Iti - bliss.

We wanted somewhere to spend the day after arriving early on a cruise and flying out only at 2345. Many hotels offered limited and expensive day pass options, or a night booking with check-in around 1400!
This was a $40 taxi ride but a nice, simple but comfortable guest house with great views. Nice outside areas. Small pool. Our room was available by 1030, and was roomy and clean. Food was available from a limited menu. Friendly and helpful staff. Only negatives. A/C in the bedroom struggled in...

We really enjoyed our stay here, very convenient as it's close to the airport! The staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful! Even sorted us a transfer to the ferry terminal. Couldn't recommend more!

The hotel and the facilities were excellent, the pool is amazing
The Lagoon restaurant and bar are beautifully situated but the service is slow and disorganised with some of the bar staff being very disinterested in serving you

The room was nice, spacious enough, with a fan that did the job at keeping you cool. Housekeeping came to clean the rooms every day, the toilet and shower were good and maintained! The staff were lovely and accommodating, very helpful and attentive to any questions we had.
There is a supermarket a short bus ride away or a less than 5 min car drive- a bit too far to walk in the heat though. There isn’t really much around in terms of dining options so we made food our selves.

Fabulous stay at Kontiki. Room was adequate for short stay and shared facilities regularly cleaned. Room was spotless and quickly cleaned after my arrival and very long flight. Staff were very helpful and helped book an excursion for me. Cafe was superb place for breakfast. Rooftop bar was gorgeous - watching sunsets over Moorea with a cocktail was amazing. Walking distance to cruise terminal. Would highly recommend.

Very helpful in allowing us early entry after an early morning arrival in Papeete. We were able to wait around the pool area, in the shade, until our room was ready, before the normal,11 am check in time. No problem either with a 5am check out.
