    Beautiful place and Fabrice the host is incredible. Really good location for exploring Tahiti iti, next to a big supermarket, quiet and the garden with the pool is gorgeous. Fabrice went above and beyond to help me with everything I needed 🙏🏼 Highly recommend!

    Nothing, really, nothing.

    Everything! The bungalow was clean, well working WiFi, fully equipped outdoor kitchen, nice terrace and beautiful garden! The bed was very comfortable. Ingrid and Fabrice were the nicest hosts you can imagine, so kind and warm. They did everything to make the best out of our stay; organised trips, gave recommendations and were always available. If you want to explore Tahiti Iti, this is the perfect location. Everything is close by. We had no problems with mosquitos as we followed Ingrid’s tips and with the vent switched on, it was never too hot at night. Ingrid and Fabrice, thank you SOOO much!

    A few mozzies, but nothing that can’t be handled with repellant. There were some mozzie coils someone had left.

    Great central location to explore the southern end of Tahiti island. Nice garden setting. Secluded. Great kitchenette facility so we bought food to cook rather than going out.

    The road access to the property is by dirt road, so hopefully one day the road will be sealed.

    I loved the immediate response from the owner, Ingrid. She is super responsive to all requests for information and help. The bungalow is beautifully built and very clean. It has everything you need to be right at home. The gardens and pool are gorgeous and well looked after

    Cars passing on the dirt road adjacent to the villa were a bit noisy, but there were not that many passing by so all in all not a problem.

    Ingrid, our hostess, was wonderful. She is friendly and fun, and clearly cares about her guests, She taught us some French and we helped her with her English, though I have to say her English is way better than our French. :) The villa was comfortable and clean. This was a great place to base ourselves while exploring the southern Tahiti.

    No complains... Only the smugy feeling that again I had a good sense to choose the right place.

    Total autonomy in a house within a generous green space of a tropical garden. Although 50 km from the main city of Papeete the ManaOra villas are in the middle of a Taravao, a quiet and self sufficient province, in the middle of the island routes. The hosts, Ingrid and Fabrice will help your orientation in the specificity of Tahitian life, habits and geography. As it is written on the threshold of my bungalow: Le paradis c'est ici. And I confirm it is there...

    We were asked to leave the pool area by other guests staying there, not really the owners fault but perhaps they had the expectation it was a private pool? There’s plenty of space for everyone though.

    Beautiful little Fare in Tahiti Iti. Had everything we needed including a great pool! Owners were really lovely and helpful too

    I have nothing negative to say. :)

    I really liked how welcoming Ingrid was. I recently lost my mother due to cancer two months ago. Being welcomed by Ingrid was the closest thing having a "motherly touch" I've had since my mothers passing. She made my girlfriend and I feel extremely welcomed to her place with excitement. The pool was amazing along with the backyard bungalows. I wish we could of stayed longer, but as always in life you have to keep moving on. Thank you Ingrid!
