Taputapuatea Hotels

"Our room (cottage) was perched 180 ft above the beach. It was perfectly outfitted with porch, kitchen, bedroom w king size bed. The bathroom was amazing with separate shower and toilet rooms. Both were overlooking the ocean and beach and entire grounds. The entire building was done in local, highly polished, hardwood. The downside is if you don’t have a car rental the taxi fare is 70,000 xfp so stay a few days."

"Due to location, we felt a bit isolated "

"3 night stay taking in Taputapuatea Marae, Botanic Gardens and an around the island road trip. Good location with lagoon access and a kayak to borrow.Rooms were well appointed and bathrooms were pleasant. Good option for those who want to self cater as a proper kitchen.Property is not particularly private, and whilst there were fans and some windows and doors with mosquito netting there is no air con so it can be hot at night if you are from a cold climate like we were! Price and overall location and comfort wise we were pleased with this property."

"Didn't get directions for two days and when we did, it was in French with numerical coordinates. Place was very hard to find due to lack of street signs.Other than a loose kitchen faucet it was a good place to stay."
