We love our stay at Chez Alizhia with magnificent million dollar view from our room! Excellent breakfasts with variety, clean and nicely decorated apartment with comfortable amenities - what else can you wish for the stay! And the best part was our host Valerie, very friendly and helpful with everything, true hospitality in its essence.

“"C'est magnifique" Excellent!”

The accomodation is well thought out - the bedroom is 'enclosed' with good air conditioning and opens onto the terrace area, with small garden, which affords stunning views over the bay of Taioha'e. The separate shower and toilet/washbasin rooms are also 'enclosed' and are spacious, cleaning equipment is provided. The rest of the accomodation is 'open' to the front and rear (with ceiling and side walls) thus providing a cooling flow through, and comprises: a spacious kitchen with plenty of crockery, utensils and equipment, plus a full size fridge/freezer; a comfortable seating area; and additional dining area. The location is peaceful and quiet, meaning we slept very well. It's a 15 minute walk to the nearest grocery store (there are 3 or 4 in Taioha'e) and a 30 minute walk to the Tourist Information/Cultural Centre in the port area; there's a number of restaurants/cafes within walking distance too. 200 metres from the accomodation is a concrete road where there's space to leave your rental vehicle, however if you hire a 4WD (or book a taxi) there's plenty of parking space at Chez Alizhia. What made our stay so special though is Valèrie and her kindness and attentiveness; she ensured we had everything we needed - we experienced a lot of rain during our stay and two umbrellas magically appeared one morning. At the start of our stay Valérie enquired about our breakfast preferences which we thought was very considerate. The support received from Valerie and her husband Jerome went far beyond our expectations, even offering us lifts into town etc before our hire car arrived.

“Very relaxing”

Amazing view. Friendly host.

“Very good place to stay when in Nuku Hiva”

If I could give more than 10 points I would. Our stay was perfect. The view on the bay is nice and Valérie and the rest of the family are very kind. We had nice conversations with them. Valérie prepared a very delicious breakfast for us every day and even drove us to the supermarket and to the Harbour the first three days because our rental car was cancelled for these days. The accommodation is very clean and has a working air conditioning. All in all a wonderful stay and we would always come back.
