“We liked the rustic nature of the house, for example the shutters that opened up the upstairs space, the bathroom, and the private location in the garden. The veranda is excellent with a table and chairs, easy chair and hammock. It was where we spent all our daylight hours at the house.
The shady gully location was a great bonus on hot days, and mosquitoes were fewer than we feared. The airy bedroom was a great refuge.
Jerome, our host, was exceptional - very friendly and helpful and his efforts and advice allowed us to experience things we would have found difficult to do on our own.
It is an easy enough walk down the hill to the (small) supermarket, car hire place and a few restaurants/roulottes. Le Napoli is especially recommended. It is bit further to walk to Uturoa town centre but we did it several times. Also a fairly steep walk back up the hill to the house, with an array of furiously barking dogs.
The care hire place at the bottom of the hill (Raiatea Location) were great to deal with and will pick up and drop off by arrangement. Booking is a good idea because one day when we wanted a car there were none available (cruise ships in town).”
“Amazing location. Private beach onto lagoon with reef just beyond. Lots of thoughtful touches. Photos do not do it justice. The tree photo is from lovely seating area right by the sea. Seaside BBQ area also lovely. Owner Laurent so warm and helpful (lives in grounds so greeted us personally). Such a special place.”
“I really liked the location of the property – close to the city, easy to find and with its own parking. I also appreciated that the accommodation has two separate rooms, each with its own air conditioning and a bathroom with a toilet.”
“The location and view are beautiful, perfect for enjoying sunsets. The house iswell furnished and clean. The host was very helpful, even trying to arrange a last-minute car for us, though it didn’t work out in the end. There is a very nicec estaurant near he house.”
“The shared space was great and hosts were very accommodating. Everything was very clean and we had an overall good stay. Short drive to Fish and Blue restaurant which was great.”
“We can only say positive things about this accommodation. The tastefully and charmingly furnished beach house, the spacious green garden, the available kayak, and the peaceful atmosphere allowed us to enjoy an extremely relaxing week. We would also like to mention the exceptional friendliness and helpfulness of our host, which went far beyond the usual. Many thanks again for these unforgettable days!”
