"This is one of the most unique properties we have ever stayed in. Snuggled against the lush mountain side with a spectacular view of the lagoon, the Vanira Lodge is a must if in the Teahupoo area. We stayed here in 2015 and it was magical. We were so excited to be back and it was just as magical as the first time. Merci!"

"The Teahupoā€™o surf break is basically directly out front (off-shore at the reef, of course) but water taxis are right at the shore by the front gate of pension so the location could not be better from that POV. Itā€™s a short walk (5 minutes) on a nice beach path from the Teahupoā€™o photo wave spot and Olympic rings, or you can drive to the pension and park but only if youā€™ve got a vehicle capable of river-crossing - so that adds to the charm of the place as well. The pension is quite nice, super...
