Cleanliness and comfort was excellent. Everything provided in the modern kitchen. Proximity to banks, supermarket, and roulottes (food trucks). Only an easy half hour walk into town. Attention and help from Fred, our host. Fred would book our taxis, tours, and recommend places to eat, etc, and laid out continental breakfasts for us to our surprise. Tara Tahiti Lodge is a must for anyone visiting Papeete.

We're very glad we found this place for the night. We received warm, very accommodating welcome even though our plane was delayed and we arrived late at night. The setting is wonderful and you can hear the river and wake up to palm trees. Would definitely stay again if we need a place in Tahiti

    Apartment was clean, and kitchen with required utensils, coffee, sugar all was there. Secured parking lot, View from apartment was great, Close from airport (around 15 mins). Rental is recommended, apartment in uphill. Great host and my flight was delayed and he waited until 10 PM to receive me. Once down hill there are shops, gas station, freeway. Restroom and shower are good and think recently renovated, you can provide hair shampoo.

    The apartment was clean, and this apartment has all the facilities for cooking, washing machine, and a hair dryer. Bed was very comfortable, and air con units in the lounge and bed room was fantastic. Great location in the centre of Papeete and easy to access. Good host who was very communicative and offered advice on things to see and do in Tahiti.

    Great hosts, very helpful. Quirky little boutique guest house. 1.5 km from the city centre. Supermarket only 1 block away. Commununal kitchen area as well as our own seperate outside kitchen/sitting area. We found the outside communal area more comfortable to sit as the breeze flowed through under the roof.
