"The location of the property was the reason we booked this place. The bungalow was the perfect place for our visit to Raiatea. Johnny was very helpful. Thank you Johnny for making your bungalow available for visitors."

"Front desk members were phenomenal! Restaurant service was a little slow and members didn’t speak much English. Activities were limited. Not much around the property. "

"Good location for us while our boat was in the Raiatea Carenage boat yard. Really liked the pool. Benjamin was very flexible and helpful, working with us as our date changed. Good experience!"

"The people who own and run the Lodge and their staff are gracious, accomodating and fun. The setting, from the beach to the trees and flowers, is lovely. Want to go back!"

"Fantastic property! Beautiful! Nice to watch the sunrise from the dock and amazing sunsets from the patio. Super clean and comfortable. Friends enjoyed taking the kayak to nearby island! Market across the street made shopping easy. And nearby snack and restaurants."

"The property is beautiful, the home is beautiful. There was very low pressure in the shower and hot water was just luke warm the entire week. The drive to the home is a very rugged drive from the top of the mountain to the drive way. If it rains the terrain could be very dangerous. The linens smelled very musty and the wash machine is outside. There are a LOT of crabs on the property- especially down on the beach. You need a car as it is a great distance to anywhere. Overall we really enjoyed it and the view is spectacular."

"We spent two nights at Hilda and Olivier’s lovely B&B+ as a transition between Maupiti and Taha’a. The bungalow is built and decorated with focus on quality, beauty, and locale. At every turn I saw patience, craftsmanship, and concern for the environment. The bungalows are made to last! The interior is modern in design and amenities. The bedding is of high quality and very comfortable. Ceiling fan plus A/C plus mosquito screens in all windows plus shutters make adjusting to temperature changes easy. I especially noted the lovely cool-ish breeze off the mountains coming through during the night. Are there mosquitos and ants? Of course there are, it’s the tropics. And we weren’t bothered at all. Hilda is a star-quality chef, and the three-course dinners that Olivier delivers to the bungalow are a celebration for the eye and palate. The breakfast, also delivered to the bungalow, is plentiful and includes homemade jams and homegrown fruit. Good coffee, too. I did swim in the salt water pool, and it is long enough for five strokes. While not enough for a workout, it’s lovely for cooling off. Hilda and Olivier go out of their way to be helpful, professional, and friendly. Responses to my emails were prompt. We would stay at Vare Vavae again and recommend it."

"The property was very interesting and comfortable. And the shared bathroom and shower was very clean and comfortable. And the rate was very good 👍. The staff was very nice and friendly. It felt like a retreat from city life to nature. "

"We stayed three nights at Ocean Front Bungalow, and it was a perfect place to relax - beautiful views of Bora Bora and of the surf in the distance, amazing sunsets and very quiet. The bungalow was clean, bedding of good quality and very comfortable, plenty of towels, coffee and a cute outdoor shower. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Yes, there are mosquitoes (like everywhere in French Polynesia), and we managed to keep them out of the room by keeping the doors to the deck closed. There is a fan/AC unit in the room which helped to keep evening temps comfortable. The lagoon in front of the bungalow is quite shallow and not ideal for snorkeling, but it was fun to kayak. You could also see a lot of fish and stingrays right from the deck. This is a great deal for a couple that is looking for a quiet, beautiful place that is a short drive from restaurants and town. We loved our stay."
