Great guest house. Tucked in the hills, with a view of the ocean, flowers and roosters crowing. Owners are very nice and helpful. Let us use snorkel equipment and beach towels. They helped us with navigating the island and places to visit. Other guests were also respectful and friendly. They have a fridge and outdoor kitchen to make your own dinner. You need a rental car for here and to see the island.

I absolutely love this place! It's situated in the hills of Tahiti and had beautiful views of the ocean. The rooms were very large and well decorated. The family who owns and manages the property are some of the nicest people I've ever met. They were very accommodating to our requests and provided info about the places to visit on Tahiti and Moorea. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful and Warm Hospitality

Wonderful stay in the hills overlooking Papeete. Maison Taina is charming and very hospitable mostly due to the warm, welcoming nature of Valerie (the owner) and her son, Tom. Both did everything they could to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The welcomed addition of breakfast each day made for a delicious start to our Tahitian adventure

Incredible stay! The hosts were beyond accommodating and gave great local recommendations (plus cooked a delicious breakfast!) This beautiful property is situated nicely up a hill above the bustle below. I'd rather stay here than at any resort. Book a rental car, stay here, and explore the incredible island!

I got lucky to find this family run guest house in a quiet hill neighborhood in Arue. Laurence, Valerie and super chef son Tom were beyond hospitable and made a wonderful stay in Tahiti even more so. The personal touch was everywhere, breakfast was a treat, and the thoughtfully prepared dinner option was amazing. Five stars!!

Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Tahiti, Maison Taina is a true guest house gem, that encapsulates the essence of a tranquil family experience. From the moment we arrived, which was around 2am, we were greeted by Laurent and Tom and felt the warmth of Tahitian hospitality. Valerie, Laurent and Tom went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our stay was special. The accommodations at Maison Taina are modern with understated elegance and comfort. One of the highlights of our stay was the culinary experience at Maison Taina. Tom made us a dinner showcasing the vibrant flavors of Tahitian cuisine using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. It was the best meal we had on Tahiti! Perfectly grilled Mahi-mahi with a garlic and vanilla sauce and the best crème brulee we have ever had! Laurent made us breakfast with croissants and café au lait and eggs and fresh fruit and Valerie and Laurent talked with us about the local culture and the “ma’ohi spirit of Tahiti. In addition to its beautiful accommodations and delectable dining options, Maison Taina helped arrange a car rental for us, recommended beaches and best places to buy Tahitian pearls. The beauty of Tahiti combined with the unparalleled hospitality of the French owners, Valerie and Laurent, created a memorable holiday that will linger in our memories.

The hosts could not have been nicer. They spoke both French and English. The food was outstanding for a fair price. I would not have eaten anywhere else for food as good. The rooms were clean and after 25 days of crewing on a catamaran the soaking tub was fabulous. The pool was the size of a family pool but just for us so it was perfect.

At our arrival, we were welcomed by our host, Laurent, at the airport. The maison is about 20 minutes drive. We got upgraded to a better room with a wonderful view and the location is pretty quiet. The only noise we hear was from the rooster which is typical in Tahiti. The breakfast was great, fresh tropical fruits, coffee, tea, juice, french croissants/ pain au chocolat accompanied with local fruits jam. Visitors will start a good day with this type of meal. Valérie was also very helpful and she gave us some good tips for the area. Tom, the chef, treated us with a gourmet dinner, very delicious.

Charming small guest house away from the traffic, tourists & noise in Papeete. Hosts Valerie & Lohan are friendly and make you feel at home, doing your laundry, lending snorkel gear, beach towels & sharing the best places to go for your interest. Great healthy breakfasts & option for gourmet dinner cooked by Chef Tom, Valerie’s son. Rent a car & stay here, for the best experiences in Tahiti, plus info & recommendations for other Islands. Relaxing pool and hot tub, too. We would definitely stay here again!
