Guest Access:
Guests are welcome to enjoy the full range of our facilities, including the tranquility of our lush garden, the relaxation of our sandy beach, and the convenience of our barbecue area for delightful outdoor grilling.
The Neighborhood:
Immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of this island's wild side. Yet, a short distance away, you will find a range of shops, boutiques, restaurants, the former Club Med beach, and the Tiki Village—an enchanting cultural hub offering traditional meals and captivating Tahitian dance performances. Renowned among surfers, the internationally acclaimed wave at Haapiti pass awaits. Across the property, you will find a well-stocked grocery store and a food truck serving delectable pizzas.
Getting Around:
There are several ways to tour around the island. The most convenient option is to rent a car or a scooter. There are several rental options at the airport or near the ferry terminal. No worries, as we have onsite parking for your rented vehicle(s).
Also, the AREMITI ferry bus that is bounded to south, conveniently makes a stop right at the property's gate entrance. However, reliability and schedule may vary.
Other Things to Note:
Please kindly remove your shoes before entering the bungalow to help maintain its serene and clean environment. Additionally, you'll find the company of five friendly island dogs on the premises, who play a vital role in providing security during the night. This unit has access to the on-site pool and jacuzzi, which are shared with the other bungalows.
As our establishment is surrounded by nature, encountering wildlife on the property is normal. To preserve harmony between humans and local fauna, we kindly ask that you do not feed the animals.
Roosters and chickens are a natural part of our environment, reflecting the authenticity of our lifestyle. While we understand they may surprise some visitors, their presence supports local biodiversity.
The lizard is a sacred symbol of Moorea, representing protection and prosperity. In fact, “Moorea” means “yellow lizard” in Tahitian. We encourage you to observe them with respect, as they hold deep cultural significance.
Being near the forest, occasional encounters with insects, including cockroaches, are inevitable despite our regular pest control efforts.
They are part of the natural ecosystem.
We appreciate your understanding and are happy to assist if needed.
Interaction with Guests:
We reside on the property and are wholeheartedly committed to ensuring your stay is as delightful as possible. We're always delighted to spend our evenings engaging in friendly conversations with guests on our terrace. At the same time, we deeply respect your privacy and will maintain a discreet presence, especially for those who seek a tranquil and undisturbed experience.
