We stayed 4 nights in July 2024 at Villa Moana on the waterfront in Vaitape on Bora Bora. The location was fantastic, with stunning views overlooking the lagoon, 10 min walk into town Villa Moana was spacious in the living area and bedroom, the bathroom a little small. Air conditioning was great and essential, and wifi speed was fast and reliable. Our hostess, Moea, was helpful and provided a smooth pickup and delivery to the wharf to catch the connecting free ferry to/from the airport. Overall the experience was a good one, and we would recommend to others. Although we were a couple, the villa is especially suitable for families as there are two single beds in the living space, which we used as daybeds. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils with a fabulous brand new full sized fridge.

Very nice to be picked up and taken places by someone. The view was nice and the location was very convenient. The owner Gerard is very friendly and helpful.

there was only one bathroom for 6 people.

The mattress, sheets are comfortable. The shower room is clean and comfortable. There is balcony overlooking the ocean. Overall the property is decent and clean. Hinano the property manager assistant is kind to give you a ride from the port to the property vice- versa I called her on her phone and when she was available she gave me a ride. She helped me with my luggage because when I came in to the property I injured my foot from the other accommodation.

It’s far from the beach. You need a car or a taxi to go to the beach to swim.

Both Gerard and Hinano were super helpful. Hinano picked us up and dropped us off at various places several times from airport, excursions, beach, transfers. She was super helpful for information about events. Gerard even fixed my suitcase handle that broke during the trip! We got upgraded to the water side and we really liked it. Location was very close to town walking and very handy for groceries, tours and hikes. There is not much to do in town but we happened to go during Heiva so it was great to have access.

Service from both Hinano and Gerard. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The gardens were beautiful, my daughter loved the bananas from the garden. Location close to town, groceries, excursions and hikes. We were able to spend 3 days in town and do all the tours we wanted while on the main island and then enjoy one night/2 days in a resort on a motu (at a much higher rate).

I would say if you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs: dogs and roosters are pretty noisy on the hill. This is something I experienced in over places in Polynesia.

Well situated app errement with great view Close to create restaurent à and to all store and facilities Pick up at the boat Gods kitchen equipment Very helpful staff

Bit basic room No bedside light

What a great hidden gem

Nice accommodation with everything one could need. Really enjoyed the view and the quiet area. Close to everything (food trucks, restaurants, Vaitape, ferry,...). Bicycles could easily be rented next door to explore the island (e.g. cannons, various lookout points). Access to the sea to cool down after ones tours. The staff was really awesome, helped with everything and was super nice. Very easy communication. Overall I really enjoyed my visit.

Friendly pickup and drop off. Supermarket within 10 min walk. Stove was good for cooking. Good AC.

A bit of a walk to the main wharf. Some ants and small insects in the room.

I loved how attentive Moea was from the 1st conversation a few months ago to arriving at pickup. I truly appreciated her taking us to the supermarket for items we needed to cook with. She helped us with our luggage and never once complained. She ensured we had everything we needed before she left us in our room. The room was very clean, all the amenities were clean and worked and the space was just what we needed to enjoy our day and night on the mainland. We cooked, enjoyed the weather and it was quiet. I loved that she also supported us with securing a vehicle which she never gave up on. I would definitely recommend this spot!

Everything was great!!! No compartment

Very nice hosts, free drop offs and pickups, beautiful garden and pond, quiet and cosy room with air condition and kitchen, great value!

hotel staff Hinona is very helpful from picking up to drop off, taking care of our luggage, contact tour guide, etc. She akways responded quickly for our requests, questions. Very friendly host.

Great view, high comfort level (comfy bed etc.), bike rental just beyond so you can get aroundenormously easily in Bora Bora, friendly host and pickup service.

Large room and comfy bed. Quiet place. Very friendly and helpful owner (Gerard and Moea) Got a free room upgrade, because of my injured leg. Many thanks!

Nice location in Vaitape with walkable distance to supermarkets, restaurants, small shops and more. Easy to rent a bike next door, which made it easy to get to the white sand beach.

the balcony, the location, and the woman who picked us up from the airport and drove us to our next destination

The shower head had very low water pressure and the design is not deal if you have long, thick hair

Views, staff and kitchen facilities. Spacious apartments.

Idea: get a canoe for guest use :-)

Best feature by far was the help Moea gave me by reserving a scooter for me, showing me where to grocery shop, where the food trucks would be, etc. She also gave me maps showing a variety of things to include hiking trails. She also suggested a wide variety of excursions to take and helped me book some of them. The view from my room was fantastic as was the open-air patio next to my room as a place to sit at sundown.

Only drawback was location and the distance I had to walk to the food trucks and the grocery store. There are no restaurants close by. Of course, these are not Moea’s fault in the least.

The location was perfect, the place has a wonderful terrace and Moea was very nice! Would definitively come back!

Nothing

free pick up from airport the owner were warm and welcome great balcony equipped kitchen

the shower needs a bit renovation

host is amazing

no beach in a walking distance

It was right on the water with a lovely verandah/ balcony with 180 degree views of the lagoon. It was quiet but next door to a gas station and 10-15 minute walk to Vaitape, a supermarket and the ferry wharf. The property had beds for 3 single people and decorated in a colourful eclectic way. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

There was a double bed in the bedroom and two single beds in the living area, but the bathroom was an ensuite off the bedroom.
