There was no breakfast offered

Stayed in July 2025

The apartment was very hot. There was aircon in the bedroom but just a fan in the lounge where I slept. Other than this the place was very comfortable with every amenity we could have needed.

There was no breakfast provided, but there were coffee, tea and water available. We had trouble finding a taxi to take us to the property as they said it was a dangerous road. We didn't understand this as, although steep, it was a properly surfaced road. We had no problem walking up it once our luggage was in the apartment. Heiata was lovely and very welcoming. She even got up to see us off when we left at 3.30 am! As all the tours we tried to book were full she recommended us to a friend who took us on a full-day tour for less than a tour company would have charged and included snacks and a lovely lunch. We covered much of the island, both Tahiti Nui and Iti, and Leonie gave us plenty of information and pointed out buildings and sites of interest, including the Olympic Village and the Fern Grotto.

Honestly the only drawback - the roosters. Holy cow! They’re crowing at 2 AM! And don’t stop. That said, I threw in the earplugs that the airlines provided and couldn’t hear a thing. So an easy fix.

Heiata’s lodge is the perfect for a one night stop over in PPT before heading on to another island. The hostess is delightful and the accommodations clean and cheerful. She set up airport transfer for us (it was pricey at $60 total, but maybe that’s the going rate?) which was wonderful to have arranged.

Nothing really. The rooster mostly made us smile.

Spacious, clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated. Very helpful host.

Fantastic property and host. I rated this property with 10s because it exceeded our expectations for everything we needed for a night in Papeete. The host/owner was so helpful, picking us up at the airport and immediately answering questions via Whats App and giving us advice about cell phone service. She arranged taxis for us also. The apartment was well laid out, roomy, clean and comfortable. This lodge is not a resort; it is an apartment that makes for a very comfortable stay in Papeete located within walking distance of several restaurants and shops.

Heiata was a wonderful host! She helped us to organize a wonderful tour of Tahiti and early morning airport transportation. The facilities were also very clean and comfortable and allowed us to prepare our own meals and do laundry. Our stay could not have been better.

Great place in easy walking distance to central Papeete, but off the main traffic - very welcoming host.

The lodge was spacious with a lovely view of the mountains. Coming from a much cooler climate we appreciated that the air conditioning in the bedroom worked great!! Heiata was so lovely, making sure we had all we needed. Thank you so much!

It was very clean and the woman was so kind and accommodating.

Nothing. Location is on a hill, so you need to prepare for slope.

Owner is very polite and kind. Room is very clean, everything is good for us.

Great accommodation and a really amazing host. Can highly recommend this place. Only small downside are the roaster cooking around

Heiata was a wonderful host - 5 star . We stayed with her on two different occasions during our trip . The apartment was very clean , very comfortable and good running water . We had the best sleep in all our two week vacation in FP . She provided us transportation whenever she can . She is warm and welcoming . We highly recommend her .

When I go out and when I return, I ask the host to open and close the gate for me. So I am considerate of the host.

The host arranged for a taxi from the airport. The gate is remote controlled. Everything is provided except tissues. The cooking facilities are very well equipped. In this room, we are supposed to take off our shoes at the entrance, but this is the same in Japan, so it doesn't feel strange. The room is decorated with plant-based ornaments, which is excellent. I think the owner made them. The lodge is on a bit of a hill, so I had a good view of the mountain side of Papeete, but I had to climb a hill to get back to the lodge. Wifi is good. When I left the next morning, the taxi arranged by the host arrived right on time at 6:30. The owner also got in and took me to the airport. I received a shell necklace.

Nothing for us. It has a short steep hill to the apartment if walking that some might not like

We needed a place for one night, and this was perfect for us. Hostess is absolutely wonderful, and very welcoming. Charming and spotless. Had everything we needed to be comfortable

The property was in an elevated position which was great for us but may be a little challenging for anyone with compromised mobility.

Our host was very welcoming and helpful. She offered to arrange an airport pickup. She regularly checked that we had everything we needed and even took us to shop for provisions. The location was excellent, very handy to all facilities and waterfront.

The owners were so kind and helpful. They picked us up at the airport and shared their knowledge of Papeete on the trip back. The apartment was spacious and clean. A very nice place to stay.

Nothing was really an issue. Just a heads up that there is a steep climb up the road to the property, gets the heart pumping a little…. but then hey you can have a desert with your dinner without feeling guilty😊

Great location - not far to walk to restaurants, supermarkets, and other attractions in Papeete. Hosts were A++ and kindly met us at the ferry terminal and kindly dropped us off at the airport early morning - really kind! Good communication with the hosts! Accommodation was well equipped, very clean, and a comfortable place to be.

I loved everything!

Beautiful apartment with many amenities!

Up a little hill, so not great for people with bad knees or back. But also a great view up the canyon!

Heieta was very kind to us, and thoughtfully answered questions in English. She anticipated our needs for transportation, ATM, market, etc. All to make us comfortable on our last night before we needed to return to the US. Apartment is sparkling clean and well equipped.

Beautiful outlook. Very clean. Thank you!

Heiata met us at the airport and settled us in at 3.00 am! The accommodation was just perfect for Papeete, private, close to the town, very comfortable. It was great having our own facilities for cooking. An ideal location and set up for 3 days.
