Rohotu Fare

I hate giving great reviews on a hidden gem like this as it will book up before I can reserve another stay! This is absolutely one of the best most exotic places I have stayed. It is beautiful, private gardens filled with an impressive art collection of stone Tiki carvings. Completely hidden off the beaten path, but convenient to restaurants and the town. Each suite is its own small apartment with a full kitchen, bedroom and sitting area and an amazing bathroom that incorporates the garden right into it! Truly one of a kind location. Our host was amazing and helpful during our stay.

Fantastic experience. I felt like Hemmingway would write his next novel from this room.

The owner Nir has created an incredible private hideaway for travellers seeking something different than your standard hotel accommodation. I was a solo traveller to Bora Bora and a physically active man in his late 50s, so the complimentary use of a bicycle to get to the supermarket etc really suited me. The stèep terrain to enter the property on foot was not an issue either for me personally. The bungalow was most definitely of 5 star standard with so many unique features. Spent 3 nights there without television and loved it. Felt like I was Ian Fleming in his Caribbean hideaway Goldeneye! I salute you Nir for creating pure escapism.

One of the coolest places I've stayed in all of my travels. Can't recommend this place enough

Amazing family, location and stay.

We booked the master lagoon view villa and it was truly one of the most amazing lodging experiences we’ve had. The space is magnificently designed with custom woodwork and a true collector’s menagerie of treasures. The outdoor shower is something from dreams. From the initial greeting from Nir, the owner, the experience began including a ride in his custom designed vehicle, a stop at the market for breakfast foods and snacks, and stories about the island. He provided a tour of his gorgeous and well thought out garden on the way to our villa and then a tour of the villa. He had bicycles for our use and assisted us with a ride to the car rental and to the beach. Transportation to and from the Rohotu Fare is included. Nir is available to answer any questions you might have. He’s very knowledgeable about the island. Hands down, staying at Rohotu Fare should be part of the mainland Bora Bora experience! Logistics wise, expect a 15 minute bicycle ride to and from the beach and bring a flashlight or headlamp for the ride back at night. Also pack bug spray. You will be in the jungle.

I can’t praise this place enough—it’s hands-down the best getaway we've ever had! The property itself is stunning, spacious, and completely one-of-a-kind. The hosts go above and beyond—they’re incredibly kind, helpful, and delightful. Guests can hop on the bikes they provide and enjoy a scenic ride to the beach, or pedal the other direction into town. A note for those with mobility concerns: there’s a short but steep walk up and down the mountain to reach the main road. It wasn’t an issue for us, but it’s worth keeping in mind. With all that said, if we are to return to Bora Bora we we’ll definitely be coming back here!

Rohotu Fare is a wonderfully unique, boutique accommodation option on Bira Bora. Nir is a wonderful host with lots of knowledge to share. He also makes it very easy to organise dinner at various locations with transport organised and (most times) included. A great value option compared to a lot of the 5 star properties that frankly, are extraordinarily expensive and charge ridiculous premiums for the honeymooning Americans.

This was such an incredible and unique (in a good way!) place to stay. The owner, Nir, has really built his dreams out here. The grounds are literally a botanical garden hideaway, and he has built 4 amazing bungalows. The thing that really stood out, though, was the level of service. He and his family live on the property and will do anything - literally - to make your stay more comfortable and convenient. He drove us places, dropped us off, picked us up, gave us advice, and even let us borrow a car! We got a free upgrade to the brand new luxury bungalow for no reason at all. It has a fully stocked bar and an unbelievable view. I had no complaints at all about this stay. Perfect for getting away from it all.

My partner and I had a wonderful 4 day stay at Rohotu fare. Tiare took care of picking us up from the airport and dropping us off at the lodge. The lodge is 10 minutes by walk to town in one direction and about 10-15 minutes by walk to the beach in the opposite direction. It was a peaceful time for both of us at the lodge surrounded by the beautiful garden that is well maintained. The rooms themselves have a beautiful view of the bay, outdoor toilet and shower which was my favourite way to unwind surrounded by the beautiful manicured garden. Nir was a very accomodating host and was always keen for a chat to help us around the island and share stories with us. He was easily reachable by email and booked all our activities for us. Rohotu Fare is a magical place that i will not forget about soon and i hope that i can return to in the future.
