Leila, the host, was a nice lady who helped with a few issues. Her husband came to pick me up from another lodge where I stayed before. I really liked my view from the verandah and the solitude.

Nothing really, considering it is Hiva Oa, where my options were limited, I am glad I found this accommodation.

The cottage was very rustic and cozy. Leila, the host had everything in the cottage house to make for a comfortable stay. Leila lives in the house across the scenic garden. The cottage has a full kitchen, sitting room, veranda, bathroom and many wooden windows that allow for a great air flow. You have views to the sea from the veranda where we had breakfast and dinner each day. There are wild roosters and hens all over which become your morning wake up. You can see the stars brightly and feel very safe and secure. Leila speaks sufficient English and helped to arrange a tour for us with a great English speaking guide, “Bri” Brian, and for a scooter to go to the other side of the island for a long hike! Our pick up and drop off were arranged by Leila. The location is about a 45 minute walk to the central village but very picturesque. I recommend this cottage for anyone independent and want to have a feel of life for the average person in Hiva Oa.

The distance from the center but having a scooter works well for anyone who needs transportation. I actually preferred walking when I could!

Nice neighbour. Nice terrase to sit Very quiet.
