Un grand merci à Clarisse pour ses deux nuits : elle a été d’une gentillesse et d’une bienveillance sans égard. Nous avons mangé délicieusement avec des repas préparé avec amour et des discussions enrichissantes Elle nous a organisé à la perfection notre journée motu piscine et permis grâce à ces vélos de faire la randonnée du mont Hiro et le tour de l’île Ces bungalows sont super propres et la literie est de très bonne qualité Nous reviendrons c’est certain Bonus : elle nous a appris à faire le poe banane !

Like staying with family. Welcoming manager Clarisse. I was the only guest at the time. Great home cooked meals with local fish. Two friendly dogs and one friendly cat made me feel at home as well. Kayaks available. I did not use one. I used one of Clarisse's bicycles to ride around the island. It doesn't take long. Spacious bungalow.

We had a magical stay at Pension Vaimano with Clarisse. We are so happy we chose this location to stay on the island. The cottage was perfectly clean and comfortable. What we enjoyed the most were the delicious breakfast and dinners when we really got to learn more about the culture and island from Clarisse. The motu trips were just a dream - the water, the beach and the lunch cooked right on the motu with everything from the land — fresh fish and fruits! Don’t miss the hike to Mount Hiro either. Raivavae is a very special and untouched place and staying at Pension Vaimano was the most authentic way to experience it. This trip was transformative for us and really touched our hearts. Thank you to our beautiful host, Clarisse. Check out @JourneyofMC on Instagram for more photos/highlights.

I spent my birthday at the pension and the owner brought me to the motu for a day excursion, an amazing place. What a gift. Additionally she backed a bitrhday cake.🎂

Hospitalité, gentillesse et contact profond ave la culture polynésienne.

We thoroughly enjoyed Raivavae in spite of 4 days of rain and lots of mosquitoes. Clarisse was an excellent host and chef, invited us along to a huge elaborate wedding of a distant relative, etc. biking around the island was fun and we loved the kayaks to the motus. Clarisse has traveled to many countries doing Tahitian dances, and she danced for us. Great cultural experience, much better when it wasn’t raining!

No one there seems to have screens so the only refuge from mosquitoes is the net over the bed. Even that wasn’t perfect. You pay for bikes and kayaks but total price seemed fine. Mattress good shower often cold.
