Very clean and comfortable. They had bicycles available and there were several activities, restaurants and stores close by.
Minor, but the bathroom was a bit dark for my husband to shave.

L'accueil simple et chaleureux de Manea. La machine à laver avec lessive à disposition nous a bien aidé. Les vélos à dispo sont super utiles, les fruits à l'arrivée sont la touche finale. Je m'attendais à plus de moustiques mais vu que l'endroit est propres, je n'ai pas été piquée.
En effet, il y a bien de la musique par le club de sport à côté mais cela ne nous a pas dérangé car c'était terminé à 17h30. Cela ne nous a pas empêché de faire une sieste mémorable en milieu d'apres midi :)

Le bungalow est spacieux, bien équipé et bien situé sur l'île. Le propriétaire offre de beaux paniers de fruits de sa production.
Difficultés à joindre le propriétaire.

Wir wurden mit einem reichhaltigen Obstkorb begrüßt.
Die Unterkunft befindet sich genau neben der Attraktion Magic Mountain.
Wir konnten Manea, unsere Kontaktperson vor Ort, bei unserer Ankunft nicht gleich erreichen. Es hat sich aber alles aufgeklärt.

Great spot... makes you feel local. Unlike the many expensive privatised beach hotels, who, in my opinion, are ruining the island. They literally claim parts of the beach/coast & say 'this is mine now, you can't come here unless you pay our inflated price$ to stay here'.
So if you're a rich piece of $£¢€ who likes paying for your own private piece of land/coastline, come to Moorea, they're making more places for ppl like you. Also thanks for making the world a wor$e place 🤑
Magic Mountain next door, close to the (good paved) road to Opunohu Belvedere & close enough to the activities in the NW corner.
Hosts are nice & helpful & you can just visit them up the road if you have any problems.
Shower ran out of hot water a bit too quick for my liking. Also the bugs can be a bit annoying, but they kind of come with the territory.

A basket of fresh fruit was offered on arrival.
A spacious, roofed deck to eat on.
2 bikes for use
Basic essentials not provided: Washing up liquid, clean sponge, shampoo, hairdryer.... One of the pillows was very smelly. I didn't appreciate the polyester bedding (in a hot climate!). The place is right next to a track used by terribly noisy quad bikes to access the mountain.

Very nice place for backpackers. Has a fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, a nice terrace to eat on and even 2 bicycles to use. There is also a nice place to take breakfast just 100 m away from the property. The owner was really helpful in modifying our last day date due to a change of plans.

Very nice little house with a terrace and much light.
Comfortable and tidy. It has everything you need. Just right next to the magic mountain. The owners are very kind. Fruit basket on arrival. The restaurant at the corner is amazing. Very lovely staff. Don't forget to try the Taro milkshake. Loved it. Thanks 🙏

The chalet in Moorea is situated in an excellent location to enjoy the best beaches along the coast or to hike the nearby green mountains and valleys. The local restaurant, Fare Tutava, is very popular and it is an easy walk to nearby grocery stores. The bungalow has all the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay and Valentine & Manea were very helpful and superb hosts.

Comunication with owner was complicated because there was no answers from owner when we were on a place. But owner parents were really helpfull and took care about everything what we need and even more.
Would be nice if there would be cattle in kitchen.
Ant and flies was annoying and made big discomfort during our staying.

We stayed here for 7 nights. This is clearly a new place and the price was comparative low (66360 CFP or 552 Euro for 7 nights). This was the main advantage.
The chalet is a small vacation home with most everything that you need: stove, fridge, coffee maker, microwave, living room with a couch, some cupboards, patio with a table, bedroom with a bed and wardrobe, shower and toilet. It was especially nice to be able to eat meals on the patio with a view of the mountains.
The magic mountain hike starts right where you live, so that's very convenient. It's quite a bit uphill, but the view is well worth it.
There is shop within 15 minute walking distance, where you can buy food and other things for your stay. The house comes with enough cooking equipment, although some specialty equipment, e.g. can opener, may be missing. If you prefer to eat out, there is a restaurant very close that serves breakfast and lunch. They don't serve any dinner and I am not sure where the closest place is, so make sure you pack something to eat for your first night. We ended up being hungry :-).
The internet was quite good. Speed is high, although I have experienced some glitches here and there, maybe because the router is located in the nearby house.
We were allowed to stay 2 hours after checkout was close at no additional cost.
The home is very new and still has many issues.
There is a large hole above the door and smaller ventilation holes under the roof. Both let mosquitoes into the house when the lights are on, so you have to either turn off the lights after 6 or have a fun night. There is a mosquito repellent, but it was not very effective and can't be use in two rooms at once. I would recommend owners to close those holes with mosquito nets.
The location is not great. The closest beach is 5km away, so unless you rent a car or a scooter, you'll have to do a lot of walking each day or pay 1500 CFP (12 EUR) for a taxi each way. On the other hand, if you book tours, most tour companies will happily pick you up and drop you off. It would be nice to have a pair of bicycles for this purpose.
The host seems to be rather new to hosting people. The person meeting us (Manea) only spoke French, but that was not an issue since we had internet and could translate using Google Translate and they were friendly too. The other person (Nancy) only communicated with us over Booking.com and demanded that we pay the full price on 4th day since Manea needed to leave and wouldn't come back until after we depart. Since they only accept cash, I have explained that we don't have enough cash yet and need someone to bring us to the nearest ATM to get it. We were planning to do so ourselves, but only later during our stay. Nancy said that it's our issue and that we have to find a solution. Ultimately, we have found a solution that worked for both of us, but I wish Nancy was not so confrontational from the start. This is not a great service.
There is also a large stadium nearby. Some nights kids were playing there creating quite a bit of noise. But usually, it stops before 9pm or so. On the last day, there was some concert with beautiful music, so it depends on your luck.
