“Beautiful location, lovely gardens, beach front and kind owner”

Superb location on the beach

“Relaxing environment, attentive friendly staff, Happy to return, Would recommend to other families.”

We were meet by the owner Michel and his staff. All the staff were very accommodating and pleasant they made us all feel at home. The staff did their very best to ensure we enjoyed our stay, they were very attentive. The property was perfect for me and my whanau (family) we live near the ocean in NZ. We enjoy being near the ocean and forest. A great opportunity for all to rejuvenate mind and body. We were all able to relax and enjoy the private beach. We were very grateful and blessed for their assistance with the option of a late check-out and help with transport to Uturoa Airport. The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and spacious. The Kitchen/pantry storage and dining area's were clean perfect for our needs. We will be back. Tau Ke!!

“A very nice place with only minor shortcomings”

Beautiful locally, very kind and attentive owners

“Beautiful place, great staff and great price. You will need a car to get there.”

This was an excellent find. We needed to make a last minute reservation and they were very accommodating for our group of 9. Although it is a little out of the way, and you really need a car to get there, it was a beautiful spot and the staff was exceptional.

“It was a lovely place to chill out.”

The individual Japanese-inspired lodges were private and beautifully zen, complete with mosquito nets and a ceiling fan (no AC). The lodges with kitchenettes were not available during our stay but the shared kitchen was well equipped and each lodge had a designated refrigerator shelf and pantry shelf. There were no amenities provided so you have to bring everything with you. You can request breakfast and pizza at night for extra charge. We arrived via ferry to Ra’iatea on Sunday and learned that most of the shops and restaurants are closed all or most of the day. Alcohol is also not sold on Sunday afternoons. So, it would be better for shopping, eating and stocking up to arrive and leave on a day other than Sunday. There also is no shuttle or public transport to the Lodge so you need to rent a car. The drive from the airport or ferry landing takes at least 40 minutes on a narrow winding road repleat with scooters, dogs, chickens and pedestrians. Having said all that, the grounds and location are lovely as are the hosts Ketty and Moerii. The garden ends in a narrow strip of sandy beach that looks out to the nearby mouth of the bay. You can see and hear the surf rolling in. You can read and relax or paddle a kayak to the motu to snorkel (there is equipment to borrow). It was a lovely place to chill out.

“The best stay we had in Polynesia !”

Everything from the comfort, location, people, …

Breakfast was very good. It was nice to have a range of homemade jams to choose from. The location is perfect for resting or being active - a variety of activities are available at the site. The hosts are excellent - very friendly and helpful.

“Great Lodge”

The owners are super friendly and we had an amazing stay. There is a nice private beach and they offer free kayaks where it’s possible to visit a small Motu for a snorkeling stop. They also offer great pizzas and breakfast.

“What a property! Two acres of beautiful lush greenry on the water with an amazing host family.”

The host waited up for us to provide keys and escorted us to our Tree House with fresh fruits from their garden.
