A couple of hammocks could be a nice addition

Everything! Rairoa was super welcoming. Breakfast was amazing, beds were comfortable. It wasn’t over crowded and perfect location and view in front of the wave

Two private bedrooms open onto the dormitory so you need to walk through the dorm and tread lightly if getting up for the toilet at night.

Breakfasts were the best we had during a month of staying in pensions throughout French Polynesia. Lots of fresh fruit, baguettes with homemade banana bread every day. If any leftovers we can snack on during the day. Location superb right on the lagoon with view of the reef. Nice swimming and snorkeling and free use of kayak and snorkeling gear. Excellent obliging, pleasant and helpful host.

EVERYTHING : Location in awesome, everything is very clean, free breakfast is delicious and the family running it are the sweetest people you can meet. And all of that for a fair price.

Great experience to stay beyond the 'end of the road' at Teahupoo. All options for ocean activities are possible here- lagoon, reef, wave, and wild coastline. Footbridge and short path along the coast a highlight too. Out host was very helpful, the group meals top notch, and common spaces great for relaxing or connecting.

One of the best guesthouses I've ever stayed in. Perfectly clean, cozy beds, amazing host and the best view on the wave!

This is a very cool spot - just in front of the amazing wave of Teahupoo! I love it so much, I wish I stayed longer. Very clean, comfortable, a great spot for snorkeling and surfing. The host is so helpful for any requests and welcomed us with an incredible breakfast each morning. I hope to stay here again!

The location on the beach, the cleanliness, the host - everything was perfect. Best hostel on Tahiti for me so far.

Nothing - it was brilliant!

Rairoa himself is brilliant, going above and beyond for us, always smiling and offering great recommendations. The place itself is one of our favourite places we stayed in our whole month in French Polynesia - beautifully clean, great value for money, lovely other guests, really comfortable and the best breakfast and amenities going in the kitchen! (also amazing water pressure in the shower!!). And it is also right on the beach and opposite the Olympic wave! Rairoa prepped an amazing dinner of Carpaccio Tuna and rice and to top it off his wife also made the best guava meringue pie - it is the best pie we have ever had! Can't recommend staying her enough

I wish I could stay more, I got emotional when I was leaving!

The hosts are amazing! They are so kind and always help you with so many things. The breakfast and the dinner was amazing too! The lodge is literally in front of the famous wave and you sleep to its noise, it is magical!

I am only sorry I couldn't stay longer.

The house is right by THE wave, so you get to wake up every morning and have your coffee while watching this amazing feat of nature. The house is clean and very comfortable, big kitchen with everything you will need, and a nice patio and kayaks to go out by the ocean. The best part though are the hosts. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and have wonderful stories to share. I was incredibly lucky to spend some time cooking and learning how to make flower crowns with them. This was truly an unforgettable experience. If you are visiting Teahupoo, you should absolutely stay here.

Location!!! The prime view of Teahupoo wave and you sleep with the sound of it! Property located in the beautiful village, right waterfront. Extremely hospitable host and his family.

Great location, right in front of the wave and Rairoa and his sweet daughter were so friendly and welcoming

Stayed in May 2024

Nothing, just it's a bit away from everything, but you can walk for 7 min to the car park and there are shops and restaurants a few min away by car.

The hosts are super attentive and nice, they make your stay wonderful. The place is beautiful, it's a bit away from everything and the hosts need to come pick you up from the car park, so it's more a place to relax, see the sunset, the waves and listen to the sea.

Stunning location, in front of teahupoo, able to get to the wave by kayaking 10min, amazing staff and overall the best place you can ever book down in teahupoo

Never felt so welcomed in a new place. Rairoa was so helpful and a wonderful host. You have an amazing location and a lovely atmosphere that makes it the perfect place to stay while visiting Teahupo'o.

As soon as I booked my trip, I got contacted by the owner “Rairoa”, and he gave me all the necessary informations before my stay, wich made me feel comfortable arriving. Once arrived I was impressed by the location of the Lodge which was straight at the waterfront looking on that world famous wave “Teahupoo”. Meeting Rairoa there gave me a welcoming feeling through his heartwarming and authentic Tahitian attitude. There is a Kayak and Snorkeling equipment at the Lodge for free use, which was awesome to explore de lagoon. I can really recommend the place, its quiet, its clean, its welcoming and its teahupoo !!
