The room is nice with big bed. The shared kitchen (only shared with one other couple) is very well equipped with everything you might need, including your own fridge, coffee, and tea. You can also borrow a kayak – it’s about half an hour’s paddle to the beautiful Ofetaro motu. The staff speaks good English and is very helpful.

Baptiste and his mother were amazing hosts we felt right at home right away. Their home is so clean and beautiful setting. It was so relaxing and we had a later pick up and rhey let us stay to lounge around for the day. Very nice. There was a great market only a few minutes away to pick up some groceries and a fabulous gourmet restaurant also within walking distance. But most of all they are really really great hosts. Right from the start of booking Baptiste helped me with questions about evrry little thing i was worried about for our stay on the island and our connections. He arranged our airport transfer and our transfer to our next destination. It was first class service.

“room served its purpose”

room only used for 6 hours while in transit noon until 6 PM

Out of town on a quiet street. Bikes and kayaks included, which was bomb - you can cycle to the town or kayak to Motu Ofetaro. Also Orion the dog will be your best scratch buddy!

“Fantastic stay, great value for money - but get over yourself if you're expecting a royal treatment!”

Think of Teavapiti Lodge as a typical Airbnb/homestay - not as the Conrad Bora Bora which a lot of sour reviews have seemingly expected. The host was incredibly helpful in making my quick trip to Raiatea a good one, not only offering great local recommendations but also organising a rental car for the day, last minute, and prearranging a taxi for my arrival into Raiatea. The room and bathroom were fantastic, clean and comfortable. You have to cross a shared hallway to reach the bathroom, but who cares? You're staying in an excellent location with a great host and some adorable dogs. Overall, great value for money and I really enjoyed my time in Raiatea. I'd love to come back and stay here again when I return to this beautiful part of the world!

“Amazing place , vibe and people ! mauruuru roa”

Great location, friendly staff, very clean, great pool. A perfect choice for those who want budget accommodation that is clean and comfortable with access to a kitchen etc. Recommended!

We stayed two nights. We found the place to be nicer than it looks on the photos online - we had more privacy than the photos suggested. The host Baptiste was very nice, welcoming and helpful, and the breakfasts were really great. We also had two good dinners - one from a restaurant across the road, and one from a dial-up company that delivers the meals in real bowls, not plastic containers, and then they collect them the next day - what a great initiative. Happy.

“Baptiste is a very nice host. if requested he can make you breakfast. room was clean and the perfect start to the vacati”

“Must like dogs”

The lodge is 3 km or so from the town center but easily accessible with the bikes available for free to customers. The small island where we can swim and stay on the beach is accessible with the kayaks also available for free. A kitset pool with outdoor shower and garden chairs was appreciated after a long warm day . We had chosen this lodge as it was advertised as No Pets allowed. However this rule only applies to customers and we were fronted by 2 big dogs on arrival and during the 3 days we stay there. The owner is friendly and helpful.

“Small, cheap, warm, homely, lovely breakfasts!”

This place was exceedingly cheap for Ra'iatea and Baptiste and his family were lovely, could not have been more helpful. The place was in a quiet road but handy to the coast and the town. The breakfast were amazing, probably worth staying just for these!

very nice Host, very Caring!

The owner was extremely helpful. He arranged all necessary stuff for us. He booked restaurant Villa Ixora for dinner (highly recommended), booked boat trip, car and all we wished. There are kayaks a bicycles available for free. Definitely recommended to paddle on the kayaks to the close motu where there was a beautiful beach. The owner has two nice big dogs who are running around and are very friendly also to the guests. Thanks for all that care.

“Overall, it was very good.”

The location was great, not that far from the town/city center. The owner provided a free bike which we used to go out for breakfast. Felt safe. The location was easy to find.
