"The Teahupo’o surf break is basically directly out front (off-shore at the reef, of course) but water taxis are right at the shore by the front gate of pension so the location could not be better from that POV.
It’s a short walk (5 minutes) on a nice beach path from the Teahupo’o photo wave spot and Olympic rings, or you can drive to the pension and park but only if you’ve got a vehicle capable of river-crossing - so that adds to the charm of the place as well.

"This is one of the most unique properties we have ever stayed in. Snuggled against the lush mountain side with a spectacular view of the lagoon, the Vanira Lodge is a must if in the Teahupoo area. We stayed here in 2015 and it was magical. We were so excited to be back and it was just as magical as the first time. Merci!"

"We very much enjoyed our stay at Fare Arihau Vairoo. The room was lovely and comfortable. Our hosts were so friendly and welcoming and took care of us as though we were family. We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. All the food was prepared by our host from local ingredients mostly grown in their own garden. All the food was exceptional and the service, some from our hosts little girls, was delightful."

"This is a fantastic property to stay, everything you would need and more. Location to beach exceptional and host a delight to deal with. Even without a car you can easily get around by local bus service but the spot is so great you dont need to go anywhere."

"Our visit to Henri’s home in Papeete was really nice. There are lots of places to rest and relax and our group enjoyed our day there immensely. The home met our needs perfectly. Henri communicates very well and assisted us in our planning. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay there!"

"We loved our stay! The bungalow was clean, well maintained, had everything we needed and on a beautiful property looking towards Tahiti Iti. The staff (Anne was a pleasure to meet) was very helpful and available to assist in questions and suggestions to enjoy the island. Sublime is in a central location on the island away from Papeete making a restful and quiet retreat perfect for a relaxing vacation. We would definitely stay here again."
"I stayed in the Kava bungalow which I thought was excellent. That said, the stairs to the loft where the main bed is are small and steep so something to keep in mind if you need to try to make it down to use the bathroom and back up in the dead of night.
The grounds and the view are straight out of your favourite travel influencer’s TikTok, so that’s a highlight, for sure. And the food at the restaurant was great. The whole place is up a steep hill so it’s not really walking friendly but if you can afford to stay here you can likely afford a rental car to negate that."

The pension is quite nice, super new, with excellent wifi, so I’d highly recommend it for sure."
"This is a great property if you wish to explore the south side of the island, or if you have your own vehicle. Unfortunately it is NOT 2.5 miles from the airport or the cruise ship port. It is on the opposite side of the island, Depending on traffic, a 90 - 150 minute drive. $115 taxi drive. You can get a 3 day tourist bus pass for 1 franc (a bus ride is 4 francs) but the busses stop running at 4:00 local time. The closest grocery store (outstanding selection of fresh fruit & veggies, meats, and baked goods) or restaurant is 2.5 kilometers from Punatea Village.
I would stay there again, but only if I had a rental vehicle."
"We enjoyed every bit of our stay here. The property was beautiful and we really appreciated being able to use the SUP and snorkel equipment. Great snorkeling right out the door! The host was very accommodating and responsive to any questions we had. We loved the open air common spaces, The bedroom layout worked perfect for our family and the A/C units in the 3 main bedrooms kept the sleeping temperatures very comfortable. We loved visiting the nearby park and beach and available food trucks next door. This was a perfect place to start our trip before traveling to other islands."
"Overall a nice place to stay with a few caveats. Easy check-in with the keys on the counter and quick response by email. We stayed in Aura where two rooms have AC and one does not - was not a problem for our stay. The third room has a fan. The rooms have plenty of open shelf space for clothes.The deck overlooking the lagoon and private pool were favorites. There was a nice breeze during our stay. Bring bug spray though (as with most places on island).
It would have been nice to have hand towels and wash clothes, not just bath and beach towels. Also, some hooks in the bedroom to hang up towels or clothes. The shower has body wash and shampoo; some shelves for personal washing supplies would be helpful.
There was a lot of roof noise one particular night from what we think were birds collecting seeds from the tree overhead. Our neighbors didn't have the same foilage so this may be specific to our Villa. It bothered some of us more than others, so if you are a light sleeper, the islands of Tahiti in general can be noisy with dogs, roosters and other wildlife.
The WiFi worked well but we had to request the password. This proved difficulty since we had spotty personal service.
There were chocolates left for us at check-in which was a nice welcome.
Thank you for sharing your Villa with us."
Teahupoo: beachfront, the lagoon and the wave, at the foot of the mountains !
10/10 Excellent
"The property was even more beautiful than the photos! We loved listening to the waves as we were going to sleep and opening our eyes to the ocean that's a very short distance away. What a treat!The way the house was built, kept it cool during the day so the temperatures were very comfortable during our entire stay. The spacious porch facing the lagoon provided beautiful views and plenty of outdoor dining. The house was well stocked with spices, coffee and oil, which was very helpful. The hosts were great. They are the most gracious and accommodating owners we've encountered on VRBO. The coconut they prepared and provided was much appreciated as well as the delicious honey from their own bee hives. They provided a lot of helpful information about the surrounding area for hiking, biking and water sports. We were guided on a beautiful hike that we took directly from the house. We saw two waterfalls, several swimming holes, eels, fish and more! We can't put into words the beauty of these mountains. We also kayaked in the tandem daily and enjoyed viewing the corals and many brightly colored fish. We highly recommend this rental property and can't wait to return!"
"A really lovely relaxing two night stay in a beautiful location and extremely friendly and helpful owners. We would truly recommend this location for anyone considering staying here."
"Very clean and new property. Light and airy. Paddleboards and kayak to get to small swimming beach were nice. Bit warm with only air conditioning in master suite."
