Cottages in Tahaa

This is an absolutely adorable, secluded, well-equipped, and well-designed bungalow within walking distance of the main town on the island. A couple of sea-side restaurants, a creperie, churches, main store and bank are all nearby north within a 15 minute walk. We also walked about an hour south to the Love Here Pearl Farm. The bungalow has a large 6.5 foot bed, kitchen in the living area, separate bath and a shower with hot water. The bungalow is situated at the end of a long enclosed vanilla plantation, so there is no direct sea view, but the veranda out front where we sat for our meals faced the mountains and was itself a lovely view. The hosts answered every request by text or phone call immediately, always helpfully. They helped us hire a car for two days. They told us that one of the best main island snorkelling areas was off a point about a 10 minute drive south with lovely fish and coral. The owners are young, DIY capable (they designed and built the bungalow), most kind, know the island, establishments and people around the island well and helped us with a water taxi out to the coral garden at Motu TauTau, a very good coral garden. Be sure to follow their advice to walk the length of the motu on the right and let the current take you through the garden into the lagoon. The taxi just dropped us off and we stayed all day while the tour boats came and went.

Excellent condition, clean upon arrival, attentive host, accoutrements (has washer, clothes dry by sun), AC, kitchen well stocked (fresh baked bread on arrival, complimentary eggs in fridge), cupboards stocked with a variety of foods and condiments. A Very comfortable stay. Kayaks for use on the lagoon.

The host was very kind and helpful when we needed help with the internet. And then we were in the middle of cooking breakfast and ran out of gas for the stove. She came quickly with a refill. The host is amazing.
