    Lovely continental breakfast that kept us going for most of the day. Fruit, fresh bread, pastry, jams, cheese team and coffee. Breakfast was self serve on the deck. The B&B is casual, stylish and very comfortable with a lovely outdoor area for dining or relaxing. Walking distance to town and restaurants etc. Friendly and very helpful host.

    Quaint, clean guesthouse with lovely al fresco eating and most generous breakfast (outstanding bread!!). Stunning view of harbour. Good location to walk into town and shop, find restaurants along water’s edge. Yes room was basic but it was clean and very comfortable. A good place to rest your head for a night or two. Complimentary shuttle to airport and ferry dock is most helpful.

    It was my last night in French Polynesia after 3 weeks in several lowcost bungalows but this suprised me so nicely!The room was so spacious, a great bed just for me, the lobby and the terase were stylish, with great design in details.I was simply shocked in a good way. Also the breakfast was included and mainly the owner Martine she was truly helpful and professional and kind.There is also a kitchen you can use anytime. So either you stay for just one night or longer, you will not regret.Thank you Martine for your hospitality.

    The building is brand new, modern minimal design, the rooms are excellent, seems like it’s the one and only in Tahiti. The roof top bar and restaurant are the best and cool spots for both tourists and locals. If you are looking for hippest places to hangout, this is it. Although they are not party of the hotel. Breakfast omelet is excellent!! But still a bit over priced since the buffet is quite limited, $25/head.
