    We like everything there: The ocean view, we can even see the whales. Very friendly and helpful hosts Franck and Yenita. It is an artistically decorated place that is pleasing to the eye while being super clean.

    Yerenita and her husband are very friendly and kind people. Especially Yerenita was helping a lot with my departure issues. I loved the view and the sound of the waves. As well as the outdoor kitchen. Coffee and tea are available. They also provide fresh fruits out of their garden. There is also a little terrace outside of the dorm. You can not fully enjoy the island by being rely on public transportation. Scooter/ car are almost a must have.

    Beautiful sustainable hostel

    Beautiful hostel located right across a very nice beach. The care and love that have gone into the property make it a wonderful place to stay. Yenita and Franck are wonderful hosts, and the hostel is not only beautiful but very sustainable, which I truly appreciate. The only issue is that it can be a little noisy at night, but honestly I still slept quite well, and they do offer ear plugs ir you are super sensitive. I would absolutely stay here again.

    There are so many little rules that it can be a little awkward. I know that it’s simple but it just doesn’t feel good specially they tell you all this when you just got there and tired. it makes me feel like I'm a kid, where they tell you all the everyday stuff. I understand that make the place tidy and nice. Plus no mirror! I wish they can add one full body mirror.

    Really tidy! And how kind are the owners! My flight was delayed, so I didn't have time to notify the owner that I would be arriving at the hotel late. When I arrive at the hotel I tried calling the owner's phone number, but there was no answer, so I left a voicemail. I was prepared to spend the night in my car, but after about an hour, she knocked on my car. It's already late, so I wasn't expecting her to be able to help me, but she did, and she wasn't upset; instead, she continued to smile and show me around.

    There is a fair bit of road noise particularly with Olympic related traffic. It’s not a problem during the day but more notable at night when sleeping. It is very close to the road.

    The place is creative and clean and the hosts are wonderful people who put a lot of care in the hostel and the guests and are enjoyable to talk to. The breakfast and the views are excellent. I really like the deck/sitting area overlooking the beach. I love being in that part of Tahiti and this is a great place to relax there. There are some rules for guests to help keep it clean so if you choose to stay there, please be respectful.

    At the moment, there‘s a lot of traffic on the street in front of the hostel. But if you bring some ear plugs, you‘ll sleep well anyway ;-)

    It‘s a very cosy place and you can feel and see the love that the owners put into it. You‘ve got everything you need, it‘s super clean and there are a cute cat and a lovely dog sharing the place with you :-) The owners are always up to a little chat and very helpful with everything you need / want to do and try to make your stay a really good one! Thank you so much, Yenita and Frank!

    As a solo traveller without a car it is not the easiest location. So be ready for hitchhiking and taking the bus with locals if you don't have a car!

    It was the perfect getaway in Tahiti, far from the big cities and surrounded by all the locals. The hosts were more than friendly and so helpful. Fresh breakfast every morning with the best view. And not a single dirty spot to find in the place.

    I did find anything I did not like in the place.

    The place is very cute, unique, artistic(owner is an artist). I am so lucky to able to find that place. I still dream about the place. That place is the finale of our Tahiti trip. Thank you Yenita! I miss Papeye and Yuka!

    I was greeted by the lovely hosts, Yanita and Frank and welcomed into their newly renovated hostel right by the beach. I don’t usually do reviews but this was such a fantastic stay, and some wonderful hosts! It’s worth the drive from Papeete! I look forward to the opportunity to come back to the island and stay again with them!

    There was no AC or a fan in the bungalow we stayed in so nights got pretty warm but you get used to it. Also would definitely recommend hiring a car as it’s a little away from the shops.

    We were greeted by Yeneta and Franck, the hosts, they were very friendly and gave us a nice tour. The property is beautiful and well kept, the bungalow we stayed in was nice and cleaned everyday by Yeneta which was great to come back to. We were given fresh fruit every morning and were just across the road from the local beach.
