"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!"

"The Teahupoāo 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.
Itās a short walk (5 minutes) on a nice beach path from the Teahupoāo photo wave spot and Olympic rings, or you can drive to the pension and park but only if youāve got a vehicle capable of river-crossing - so that adds to the charm of the place as well.
The pension is quite nice, super...

The property is right on the beach, 100m away from a Magasin (dairy) and only 4km away from the small town of Taravao. Kitchen facilities and complimentary tea and coffee are great. Very clean and the fan in my room was great for keeping the temperature down. Hands down the best value for money on my ten day trip.
Note:- The welcoming dog is a bit loud but he's on a chain and it is completely safe. He calms down after a few times walking past.
