The view of Moorea is truly spectacular from the back porch. The small house is clean with a nice modern kitchen and a small refreshing pool. Three geckos and some bugs quickly got in after we arrived, apparently through some gaps in the windows or sliding doors. The chirping geckos were annoying mostly to my wife. There also some other issues: the safe didn't work, the sheet on the bed didn't fit properly and there was a strange noise every 15-30 minutes that sounded like someone tapping a microphone. The two biggest negative issues were: finding the house and the rough steep road up to the property. First of all her directions were hard to understand and didn't translate well from French to English. Google map link in VRBO was close but wrong. Another problem was as you near the house, she describes a Y and you should take the right fork. Unfortunately, there really are three road options and if you take the far right road you end up on an extremely steep and frightening road with NO turn arounds. DO NOT TAKE THE FAR RIGHT OPTION! Take the middle prong, or the right prong of the left split. For sure, do not try to find it at night. If you use Google Maps use the following: Tahiti Moetama Cosy Lodge, Puna'auia, French Polynesia. Finally, the check in material said we would do a self check in, but the owners had some one waiting on us. We were running late and we did not notify anyone since we didn't think it was necessary. I could not find anything in my emails about it

Stunning views over Puna’auia and across to Mo’orea. A lovely place to stay and fitted with everything we needed for a few days.

This home has a stunning view at a great price. The interior photos are unfortunately no longer accurate. The couch is not as inviting and is very basic. The home has great features such as retractable doors onto the terrace and a nice kitchen. But cooking and dining supplies as in many rental properties are mismatched or non-existent. Since we enjoy having a kitchen for the purpose of cooking, that is a disappointment. Finding it initially was difficult because of mislabeled directions but we were not at all put off by the steep climb. It was worth it for the dramatic cliff top position and privacy, which for the price can’t be beaten. On the upside the WiFi was great and the TV worked flawlessly. The pool was very nice. We enjoyed our stay overall and simply hope the owners will make some very modest investments so the total experience matches the view.

Checkin and check out were easy and pain free. Property was very nice. View was spectacular.

We had a short layover in Tahiti for 3 days following our cruise on the Aranui and I chose this property up in the mountains for its location and privacy. We weren’t disappointed. It is somewhat challenging to drive to and you definitely need a car, a manual one is better. The properity was just as beautiful as advertised but unfortunately they are doing road construction down below it so there was some construction noise during the day but it really didn’t bother us that much. The owner was very helpful in accommodating our needs. We would stay there again.

New home with amazing view. The patio is great with water views in the day and incredible stars at night. AC works great. The doors open up wide to give an inside/outside vibe. Just know in doing this bugs/gecko/spiders get it. We felt it was worth it. Navigating to the property is a little tricky with a bumpy dirt road at the end. Using goggle maps is a must. Overall great stay and would stay again.

Fortunately, driving instructions were very clear as it involved 1.5 km ascent, last leg on bumpy road, but once we entered the gate, wow! Villa was excellent, pool was great and deck has fabulous views of Pacific & Moorea. as usual, kitchen lacked gourmet equipment, but otherwise all was excellent. Owners were very helpful as well.

The owners are easy to work with and the place is easy to find using google maps. All I did is look up the name of the place, put it in maps and it took me right there. Views are stunning! Loved it.
