"Beautiful and luxurious. "

"Paradise! We stayed twice for 3 days each time (we rebooked after our first stay). We had an ocean view bungalow for each stay - we even had whale sightings on a couple of occasions!! The bungalow was perfectly rustic in tropical conditions - those expecting bug free, A/C perfectly clean rooms beware. The bungalow was very comfortable with a ceiling fan - that with the open door/windows with ocean breeze we slept well! Location is remote/residential so we felt safe. Bedding and bed was comfortable. Friendly dogs at the property but at night they and the neighbourhood dogs could start their barking concerts - but we found that everywhere in FP with so many dogs. But no roosters around crowing in AM at least! There was a small fridge in the bungalow, everything else kitchen related was in a communal kitchen. We made our coffee and cooked meals there (small place so we never had to wait). There was a nice stony beach in front we explored - water shoes would have been safer than our flip flops! There is a sheltered spot in front for swimming/snorkeling. It was small but there was some nice fish and some coral - even an octopus! Beautiful sunset and sunrise views! "

"The young family are excellent hosts. It was a real surprise The father is a real chef from France and the Tahitian mom has trained in hotel and speaks excellent English. They live on a small farm where they grow everything they cook. They make their own soap. The little cabin you stay in has everything you might need. Very congenial people. Every meal was an experience. I would go back in a heartbeat. Very clean and has a lovely pool "

"We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home right on the beach. It is exceptionally comfortable, spacious, and equipped with all the amenities one could wish for. Communication with the host (Hinatea)was prompt and effortless, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The home is ideally suited to accommodate three couples with ease.The location is most convenient — 35 minute drive from the airport in normal traffic, with a fabulous bakery just across the road and shopping close by. For those seeking adventure, Moby Dick is less than 2 km away, offering whale-watching and swimming excursions.We would most certainly recommend this property and very much hope to return again. Thanks Hinatea. "

"Peaceful, beautiful location. Individual bungalows that are clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend this property."

"This is a magical place. If you choose to come here, do so with an artistic attitude towards live and your visit and you will be handsomely rewarded."

"The facilities themselves were nice, the place is cute, and it was clean. It was well equipped with cooking items. However, there was not adequate access to the beach. There was a huge metal gate with a padlock that was randomly closed at various times which made it so that we had no way to get to the beach. I messaged the contact person multiple times and they just kept telling me to look into the book and that the instructions were there. There was nothing that talked about a huge metal gate with a lock. Once I left, I continued to email them, and they just simply said that the gate is new, and that the lock doesn't work, and I should've reached through and undone it. However, this information was not provided while I was there, so there were multiple days that we could not get down to the beach, which was a huge drag. A huge reason that I booked this place was because of the location and easy beach access."

"Sweet couple run this place. They were so kind and helpful. Took me to the store twice!!! Brought chocolate croissants on my 1st morning The cabin was clean and a basic kitchen and dining table so meals could be prepared. The snorkeling right off the shore and out to the orange bout to the east was amazing. I loved just hanging out and reading and sunning in the garden but I do recommend having a car. I never saw a mosquito or had any bug problems outside or in the cabin Very clean and well kept"

"Beautiful spot, nicer than pictures, extremely helpful and nice hosts. Highly recommended."
