Great location, beautiful secluded beach but close to activities, groceries and restaurants. We stayed for a month and enjoyed the fabulous snorkeling off the beach, and comfortable accommodation with everything we needed. Alexy and his wife were great hosts and helped us with any questions we had and shared some delicious fresh fruit from their garden. We highly recommend and would stay here again.

We loved the open air family bungalow. It was spacious, comfortable, and had a beautiful view of the water. We cooked often in the fantastic, well-equipped kitchen. The gracious host, Alexy, was generous with advice and equipment. He pointed us in the right direction for surf lessons. The snorkeling in the lagoon directly off the property was great.

Holly United States of America

Alexy the host was incredibly friendly and accommodating. It was well organized and we loved having the private black sand beach so close with free snorkel gear. Spacious and good to have a kitchen to cook.

Great location with amazing snorkeling right in front and close to great surfing in Papara. The owner has a variety of surfboards, paddle boards and kayaks that you can rent. The space was very large with lots of windows and had a great view of the water. Full kitchen and clean. Renting a car was nice so that we could visit the southern areas around such as nearby Smith botanical garden and Vaipai water garden.

The location is fantastic and you can clearly see the love and passion instilled in this new lodge by the proprietors who reside in one of the bungalows on the property. You don't need to travel to the smaller tourist islands in Tahiti to enjoy the majesty of the tranquil aquarium-like lagoons and the incredible surf swells because they sit literally side-by-side in this most southern tip of the main island of Tahiti. Alexy and Lovina are wonderful hosts and offer surfing, paddle boarding, snorkeling and yoga classes and excursions, all right from their beach-front property.

Alexy and Lavina were absolutely FANTASTIC hosts. Originally planned 2 nights and ended up staying 4! Spent each morning surfing the beach break a 5-10 min walk away followed by snorkeling and kayaking/SUP in the lagoon right in front of the property in the afternoons. Manomano has all you need for rentals there so it’s easy. In-room kitchen and grocery store a quick walk away makes food easy as well. They even invited me to xmas dinner and a traditional Tahitian lunch the day after. Can’t wait to come back, I had a great time.
