Rohotu Fare

Every detail has been thought of and has a story. Nir and his family are incredible hosts that provide a highly personalised touch without imposing on your time with them. What they have built is beautiful beyond words and nothing is too much for them - from giving you a lift to the grocery store to arranging trips on your behalf and even providing a free laundry service! I would live here for years if I could.

I loved everything.

I don't even know how to begin: Nir is not just a host, he welcomes travelers who become friends. The area is an art object, a tropical paradise, a place to dream and reflect. Nir helps you with all activities, he introduces you to the history of the island and also likes to exchange ideas with travelers. Here you are not treated as a number, you are feeling as taking part in a journey into mystical polynesian and pacific history. It is moving to see what has been created here and Nina and I wish all future guests and Nir and his wonderful family only the best!

We travelled alot but our bungalow "Navenave" was one of the most beautiful if not the most beautiful stay we ever had. The love for the details in the whole lodge is one of a kind. And of course: Nir and his lovely family were more than just hosts, we really loved every second of our stay! Mauruuru

It’s hard to know where to begin when describing Rohotu Fare - it really is that unique and special. Nir is a modern-day Gaudi - his vision and creativity have created something so outside the norm that it’s nearly impossible to describe it in a way that does it justice - you just have to experience it. This is not a place for tourists that like international hotel chains and are not really interested in the culture and heritage of the place they’re visiting. However, if you want to experience a living work of art, surrounded by historic artefacts, carvings and tikis collected and created over a lifetime….if you want to shower outside in privacy but with water flowing from the hands of a female statue…..if you want to stay in a luxurious bungalow in the middle of lush forest with stupendous views - then you should go and stay at Rohotu Fare. Nir is one of the nicest and most interesting people you could ever meet and he and his lovely wife have created a true paradise in what is already paradise. Don’t hesitate, just go!

Nothing

Beautiful bungalow and well kept. The walk to get to it is also sublime. A small piece of paradise and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bora Bora.

A couple of things that I personally didn’t like. 1) Not so private. You can hear other people’s conversations and movements from the next bungalows. I had hoped for a little more privacy. 2) Nir and his wife treated us very well and offered their help for driving us to the supermarket and the bank. But, a little room for improvement would be when booking restaurant reservations through them. I was looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate our honeymoon and, after googling, found a couple of options that seemed interesting to us. I asked for assistance with reservations and was told that it couldn’t be done and to look at reservations on the main island instead. While I may not know the ins and outs of the island, it would’ve been better to be provided with transportation options and cost for the restaurants I mentioned rather than a flat out no. When we found another option on the main island, we were told that we would need to book our own transportation. Again, that’s not a problem but a better service would have been that this would be taken care of as part of their hospitality service. Furthermore, my wife and I had booked all our tours on our own prior to arriving. When we were asked if we needed help with tours and mentioned this, it did feel like we were met with a cold shoulder and suddenly couldn’t be driven to the main dock for one of our tours due to “insurance liability issues”, which seems odd given that we were just driven to to the main dock and back to go to the supermarket a few minutes before having this conversation. 3) We were offered to go to a local dance festival as they told us it would be a great show. We felt a little bit pressured to go since they asked us many times. We finally acquiesced. The cost of the event was $40 for two people and while it isn’t a big amount, we felt like it wasn’t a great show. Also, on our way back to the hotel, we were told that the festival was more for locals than tourists.

Super unique and large bungalow. Very private and well equipped to cook. Owner picked us up and dropped us off. Beautiful property with tonnes of cool artifacts and artwork

Rohutu Fare is an exceptional, unique place to stay, nestled on the hill with magnificent views. We will never forget our stay here. From the moment we were welcomed at the jetty and driven to the hotel in a beautifully quirky Land Rover, to the moment we said our goodbyes to Nir at the end of our stay, this was a fabulous experience. We loved the attention to detail: the colonial-chic-meets-Polynesian-style that makes this place truly unforgettable. As vegetarians, having our own cooking facilities meant we didn’t need to stray far from our room of an evening (Bora Bora doesn’t cater too well for veggies), and we were able to rustle up tasty meals in our wonderfully comfortable bungalow. Nir is the most attentive and welcoming of hosts and we hope to return one day. We’d highly recommend Rohutu Fare to anyone looking for a luxury stay with a difference on Bora Bora.

Leaving at the end of our stay.

This is a very special place. I doubt there is one like it anywhere else. The garden setting, with sculptures and water fountains is amazing. The room - spacious, very well appointed and with exceptional art and other features - was wonderful. Nir is a fantastic host, who picked us up at our previous lodging and dropped us off at the ferry when we left. The free bicycles were great for getting to/from the beach and lunch.

There was nothing at all amiss.

This is a very special property meant for travelers who want something unique and visually stunning. The attention to detail that Nir and his family have dedicated to inspiring their guests left me feeling grateful and immediately hoping to return again. This is a rare experience and one I hope to share w others as soon as possible.

I enjoyed that part of my trip was not beachfront which afforded and entirely different vibe and incredible views.
