We stayed last minute at the property and it turned out being a great choice. It was central to downtown and an easy walk to most everything. The owners are great and the room itself was exactly what we needed.

This is a nice option for a brief stay. There was a corner store with good selections, a small kitchen and a great restaurant a 5 minute walk down the road. The host is quite helpful if a taxi is needed or for any information. The drawback is no air conditioning and barking dogs.

Great Location

Great location with friendly hosts, conveniently located close to town, and free kayaks to explore the area with. The host arranged a 50cc scooter rental with pick-up service by the rental company at the lodge.

Well stocked kitchen, shared bathroom was spacious and very clean. No AC, but always a nice breeze and ceiling fan was all you needed. The pool was a great place to chill. Perfect location just outside of town and our host was very helpful. Recommend renting a car best price for getting around.

Don’t Go Here!

Not a hotel, a backyard room in some terrible neighborhood. Wanted to leave before check in but no where to go. I would take this off your list. If I ever get a place like this from you It will be our last!!!

This review is NOT based on any stay at this lodge. I had to cancel one week before arrival due to the explosive rise in Delta variant COVID infections. The owner refused any refund, not even meeting me half way. I realize COVID affects businesses as well as tourists, still, this lack of flexibility and generosity is appalling.

Te Ava Piti Lodge, Raiatea

Die Besitzerin war auf Urlaub und deswegen eine Stellvertreterin hat den Lodge aufbewahrt, die freundlich aber nicht immer zuhause war. Das Zimmer war im Haus der Besitzerin integriert und zum Badezimmer kommen musste ich ins Haus treten. Eine externe Küche steht zur Verfügung (keine Frühstück ist angeboten) aber die man nur von ausserhalb des Hauses erreichen. Das Schlafzimmer war komfortabel genug aber hat keine funktionierende Steckdosen. Auch etwas zu beachten ist der Wachhund, der sehr freundlich ist aber auch sehr gross (der hat mir fast durch pure Freude mir fast ausgeknockt!)

Accueil chaleureux

Accueil très souriant de Claudine. La chambre Tipaniers étant libre elle nous y a installé, ce qui est très gentil et agréable car la salle de bain est contigue à la chambre. Petit coin détente et petite piscine à disposition dans le jardin. C'était le soir de la fête de la musique. Claudine et son mari nous ont proposé de nous conduire au centre ville et là encore c'est très gentil car il y a au moins 30 minutes de marche. Possibilité d'avoir un petit déjeuner servi le matin, sinon une petite cuisine est à disposition et une supérette à 3 minutes de marche. Rien de particulier à visiter autour de la maison mais nous ne faisions que passer.

部屋でゆっくり食事を楽しもうとしたら、虫が入ってくるのでキッチンでお願いしますという。仕方なくキッチンで食事をしたが、足が蚊に喰われてかゆくてたまらず次回から、部屋で食事をすることにした。早速文句を言ってきたので訳を言って拒否するというと、もう何もしてやらないと言って怒っていました。頼んだレンタカーは来たのでほっとしましたが、1日ツァーは申し込んでくれないと思ったから自分でやりました。怒っているので仕方なく長ズボンを履き靴下を履いてウォーキングシューズを履きキッチンで食事することにしました。 ところがチェックアウトの時10時以降は荷物を預からない、なぜならあなたは悪いゲストだからですと言われ予想の一つだなと思って、すぐに宿を出て2kｍ余りの街までスーツケースを引きながら歩き始めたのです。

Simple pension run by very kind owners

This is a pension managed by a family in a good location. The place is quite basic and the room is not equipped with upscale comforts. There is no A/C and the room is very simple. The owners are truly friendly and kind and nearby there is a very good restaurant and a decent supermarket. Probably I would consider this for a short stay or for low-budget travelers. If you are looking for an upscale solution, this might not be your best choice.

Endroit vivement conseillé !

Environnement comme à la maison chez Claudine et Alan. Accueil très chaleureux, cuisine open dans le jardin qui permet de discuter, très bons conseils de Claudine à propos des activités potentielles. La maison est à environ 2km de la "ville", il y a un magasin à 100m. On a le droit de disposer d'un vélo pour faire un tour.

Only for last minute, short, cheap overnight stay

Affordable accommodation, a bit runned down. Simple small bedroom, uncomfortable bedding, with separate bathroom, not very clean. Very noisy and full of mosquitoes could barely sleep with open windows as air conditioning was not working. The kitchen and common area is outside in the sort of open garage... really not inviting. Not much to do in the area as well, there are much better places in Polynesia. We only stayed one night to catch an early morning flight the next day as fairly close to the airport and barely other options left. Would not recommend nor go back.

Pension agréable et propre

Nous sommes restés qu'une seule nuit, pension très propre et propriétaires gentils. Ils ont été de très bons conseils pour les repas. Nous avons pu profiter des velos gratuitement et de la petite piscine. S'il faut trouver un bémol, en tant que fumeur, je regrette la mise dans un coin du jardin.
