Tifaifai Et Café Huahine

The location right at the water front and close to the waves of the lagoon's edge was simply magical. I could just spend hours sitting on the sand, taking in the ocean's beauty and sounds, and the amazing views of the surrouding mountains and coast - not mentioning the exceptionally cleary night skies. The property is made so that you directly live with the ocean, both from the room and the dining/living area, including a cute seashell and flower decoration in the rooms. Very calm except for the waves (lovely lulaby) and the ocean breeze makes it nicely refreshing (compared to elsewhere), and it is easy to be in your own private space outside. The location on the island is nicely clsoe (8 km) to the main town with shops, restaurants, gas stations, banks, harbor, aiport, etc. while still convenient to explore the south side of Huahine. The owner Flora is feisty and incredibly sweet and generous, ans she is a star when it comes to caring for her guests, doing what she can to help and make their stay special. Scooter or car rental across the street. Overall my 5-night stay there were very resourceful and I was pleasantly surprised.

Hard to find... Perhaps that you can dip but not swim right in front of the house, but the nice snorkelling beach just around the corner makes it easily forgettable.

Flora met us at the airport and was a joy throughout our stay. Lovely ocean views. Large comfortable and clean room and bathroom. Nice details with the flowers. Good breakfast and evening meal. Not far from a beautiful beach.

Mosquito nets on the windows.

Flora was an exceptional host. She is so kind and treated us like family the entire time we were there. We had an amazing time thanks to her generosity and recommendations. I really can’t wait to visit her again in the future.

Like everywhere on the island, there were mosquitos. As long as you put bug spray on right when you arrive and keep it on, you’ll be fine. If you don’t have bug spray with you, Flora has you covered!

The location is close enough to town but also feels remote enough like you're on your own private holiday. Flora was a fantastic hostess and a pleasure to get to know! Her fresh caught tuna carpaccio dinner was better than many fine dining restaurants we've been to, and the company made it even more special. We also liked sharing breakfast with the other 3 guests and touring with them around the island. The humpback whales hanging out right in front of our beach were a nice bonus too!

The ocean breezes were great, but without A/C it was sweltering at times. However, we knew when we booked the place that there would not be any. It was a minor discomfort at times, but well worth all the positive aspects of staying here! We would definitely recommend to other friends who like a smaller more intimate place to stay than the big resorts. Very authentic experience.

You’re right ah the shore where the corals are with a beautiful sunrise.

WiFi is limited to two time slots (one in the morning, one in the evening)

nice location on water, close to coral gardens for snorkeling. Flora, the host was very accommodating picking us up and bringing us back to airport and finding us a rental car.

I liked the location but a car is needed to get food and to explore the island.

Lovely breakfast Delightful surroundings Flora was a wonderful hostess

Amazing location and host (Flora). Such a peaceful place to recharge 😍
