There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area.

I did not ask for a quite room, we loved the location, was located in behind a service station and small small supermarket, sounds busy but down the lane and into our area was great, we could walk all around town, bars, market, shopping, museums, everywhere. Great clean pool for a dip, and best bed I have slept in ... including my own. As in the islands there is island day to day life, your up early, roosters, dogs barking, weed eaters (grass cutters) always on the go. Loved the place we stayed 2 nights on arrival and came back for our last night before flying out, we hired our car from here also onsite. We only had a bed and shower/toilet area, fridge and microwave, plates and glasses etc, table and chairs outside lovely area. Would totally say great place to stay if your not into flash but clean.

    Right in town and walking distance to everywhere. Nice and convenient. We had a couples room which had a bit of air conditioning. And they gave us bread and cheese and coffee and oranges for breakfast- get in early folks before the breakfast disappears. A good hostel and net some good, honest people there.

    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.

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.
