Sarah is such a friendly, kind, and helpful host. The property is located up in the hills of PaoPao, a great central location. Watch the dirt road, which has a lot of potholes for low to the ground rental cars. The room was quaint and fun, decorated in an island vibe style. We had everything we needed, including a small fridge in the room. Keep in mind that there is no door on the bathroom, so keep that in mind if you are traveling with someone. There is a shared kitchen, pool, and outdoor area, which ha (Website hidden by Airbnb) views of the mountains!!! We will definitely return, if possible!
Sarah’s place is truly an eco paradise. It is close to many things on the island (PaoPao valley) and has small grocery store at the base of the road and is also close to the pineapple fields (a great hike). Sarah is also a great resource to ask about the island so make sure to utilize her!
A few tips:
- the listing I stayed at was the botanical room
- it is located down an unpaved road so if you get a rental car close to the ground, be aware of that. Ferry distance is about 25 min driving, airport is less.
- there are quite a few mosquitoes. There was a mosquito net, but I still got bit quite a bit even while wearing local mosquito repellent (Citronella spray). I would buy STRONG repellent. There is a natural one also sold at pharmacies which are easy to come by in Tahiti, but not in mo’orea
Sarah is a true delight. She’s incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful. She gave me plenty of local tips and advice, which really made my trip great. She went above and beyond to organize any activities I asked about, and she told me where to get the best black pearls. I can’t recommend Sarah enough!
Her property is also lovely. It’s in a great central location, and it allows you to experience both the mountains and the beach. Her two cats and dog were also very sweet and made me feel right at home!
This is a GREAT place! It was the only "off the water" place we stayed during our 2 weeks in the Society Islands...but was worth it to connect with Sarah (our host). The room was private, creatively decorated (including the bathroom), comfortable, and right off the wonderful pool!
Beyond all that, Sarah welcomed us, helped us know how to get the most from our time there and our time on Moorea. She was generous in her willingness to make suggestions about things to do and places not to miss. She did a nice job fixing breakfast 2 different mornings (well worth the 1500 cfp/person!) and engaged whole-heartedly in conversation over the crepes.
Be prepared for heat when you come...and know the pool is a perfect response to a long day of sight-seeing.
