Fabrice was an awesome host and staying at the house felt very authentic. As for all of Raiatea, it is important to know that you should rent a car as otherwise you would not be able to really enjoy the island. Since the house does not have walls or air conditioning, of course, there are mosquitoes and it can get very hot during the day. But this is clearly laid out in the description of the accommodation and I would consider this being part of the experience. There are multiple fans in the house. Make sure to bring and put insect repellent.

Island home is a fantastic quirky and well thought out home. It's the perfect place to settle for a few days and get equainted with Polynesian life! There is a Canoe to take out to a motu. Fabrice let us through the place he is staying to go snorkelling, just across the road from Island Home. Fabrice was a responsive, helpful and friendly host who ensured we had a great time. The home has all the facilities to cook but also bikes to use to get to local restaurant/snacks. Fish & Blue is a lovely restaurant in walking distance. Island Home is the perfect place to disconnect, relax and enjoy.

“magical”

The pictures of this house do not do it justice, the actual house is amazing - We loved the feel and the architecture. The gardens were beautiful. The bathroom and kitchen area is authentic, comfortable and really adorable;- according to my wife. Fabrice- the owner went above and beyond to look after us.
