O'coco Bungalow- Breathtaking waterfront views, endless memories

Beautiful location right on the water, the property has a set of concrete steps for easy launch of kayaks. The lagoon is stunning for exploring via kayak (provided by the property). It is sheltered from the trade winds (SE). The Host is lovely, provides lots of helpful information, and is easy to contact via WhatsApp. The property is secure and fully fenced with an electronic entry gate on the driveway. A warm outside shower is great for rinsing off after being in the sea.

The traffic noise from the road is noticeable at night, but earplugs help. Unfortunately, a few dogs fight at night, along with the odd rooster or two - but this is the islands, so take your earplugs and you will be fine.

Very good location, kayaks on the property and coral reef just in front of the house . We did also fishing. The sun set is wonderful.

You need to rent a car, it’s 20 km from the airport.

If you are looking for a bungalow right on the water, this is your place! The deck is nearly over the ocean. I could see the water from the bed, even before I got up. Stunning! The bungalow was very clean, and the kitchen was nicely equipped.There was a large table on the deck for dining on the water. We sat in the deck chairs and a loveseat to watch the beautiful sunset every night. We were glad to stay here, rather than a hotel. This is a more authentic and natural way to enjoy Tahiti. We went to the Intercontinental hotel for brunch one day and found it was too commercialized. Our bungalow was far more relaxing as well as natural. You will need a car to access the grocery store and restaurants. We found it easy to drive around the island, especially due to the location of the property. If we were closer to the airport, we would have been stuck in traffic while trying to drive to the local beaches and attractions. The property has kayaks and paddle boards, but we didn’t use them because it was too windy on the water (we were there in November). There is a washer and dryer, and even a second shower, located outside. The garden has coconuts, breadfruit and a few other fruits that we could pick and eat. Our host even gave us tips on how to prepare a breadfruit (which was delicious)! Overall, our stay in the bungalow was terrific. In fact, it was so special that my boyfriend proposed on the deck at sunset!

Excellent deck overlooking the lagoon with small reef sharks and rays swimming right below the deck. Lots of small tropical fish and a kayak to use for swimming in the lagoon.

Busy road but that is typical of the main road around Tahiti

The bungalow has its own access to the water in a beautiful location, which is great - kayak and paddleboard are provided. The location is simply beautiful and so tranquil. Whilst the property is quite a way out of Papeete, it is within easy reach of some of the most beautiful areas of the island (west and southwest - car needed!) and also in close proximity of supermarkets (by car). The host was wonderful (thanks for starter pack of beer, water and fruit) and so was the elderly neighbour who looks after the property. I would happily stay here again - well away from the hustle and bustle of the town. I recommend hiring a car at the airport or from the small place just across the road from the bungalow (French speaking). They quoted me for three full days at a very reasonable price.

Tahiti Nui can only be fully enjoyed if you have access to a car. This is not a negative really, but just to make others aware that this is actually the situation on the whole island with pretty much all properties including this one. The road is indeed noisy, but it’s not a secret and the same road is all around the island.
