Guest Reviews

• Emmanuel (10/5): Un séjour de charme, entre des paysages fabuleux et un accueil très chaleureux. - Le site, dominant la baie d'Opunohu au bout de 300m de petite route en montée raide, est magnifique et proche des plus beaux lieux touristiques de Moorea. Les plus belles plages (de sable blanc, bordées de cocotiers) sont celles de Ta'ahiamanu (à 3 km) et de Tiahura (à 15km vers l'ouest). Le logement lui-même est spacieux, confortable et très bien équipé (notamment la cuisine). Les hôtes sont d'une grande gentillesse, d'une très grande prévenance et réservant à leurs hôtes un accueil chaleureux inoubliable.
• Isabelle (10/5): L'EXCELLENCE - Rarement nous n'avons trouvé de logement aussi bien fourni en équipements, fontaine à eau, nombreuses cordes à linge avec pinces et produits, produits de toilette divers, cafetière, cafés et thés de qualité et en grand nombre. Terrasse abritée avec vue sur le lagon +2 salons de jardin, nombreux rideaux pour l'occultation, accès à la piscine.....le clou du séjour a été l'invitation à dîner avec petits cadeaux de nos adorable hôtes RIEN ! Il faudrait être très difficile !
• Lilian (10/5): Real sweet home in Moorea ! - Ce séjour chez Dolores et Tony restera longtemps dans nos mémoires. Le logement déjà, était parfait : situé sur les hauteurs, il offre une superbe vue sur la baie d'Oponohu, et la terrasse est géniale pour les couchers de soleil. A l'intérieur, plein de petites attentions pour que le séjour soit agréable : différents choix de cafés et thés, ingrédients de base pour cuisiner, gels douches et shampooing, tout y est ! Le logement est en plus "self-contained", vous avez votre propre cuisine et salle de bain pour être tranquilles si vous le souhaitez. Mais c'est surtout Dolores et Tony qui nous ont rendu le séjour agréable : accueil avec noix de coco fraîches, conseils sur les meilleurs endroits de l'île, supers moments partagés. On s'est sentis accueillis comme des membres de la famille, et c'était parfait pour découvrir la gentillesse de l'hospitalité polynésienne ! Encore merci ! On aurait juste aimé rester plus longtemps 🤩
• Edouard (10/5): Hôte très accueillant - Super vue sur la baie d’Opunohu, une des deux chambres avec climatisation, l’accueil et l’hospitalité de Dolorès et Tony. Ils nous ont invité un soir à manger dans leur famille du poisson tahitien de plusieurs façons. Merci encore !
• alainvoyagel (8/5): - Il nous a été difficile de partir tant Dolorès et Tony sont accueillant. Ls terrasse est spacieuse et la vue est splendide. Le chemin d'accès est très pentu. Nous avons pu monter avec notre voiture de location bas de gamme mais il fallait enlever la clim.
• Virginie (9/5): En immersion dans une maison triptyque tahitienne avec Dolorès et Tony. Leurs accueil, gentillesse et leurs sourires au - L’emplacement, l’accueil et la gentille des hôtes Rien
• LE FOLL (9/5): - Dolorès et Tony sont vraiment de belles personnes. Ils sont particulièrement bienveillants avec leurs hôtes. Nous avons été invité chez eux pour un repas polynésien. Nous avons pu faire du bateau avec un de leur fils. Et ils nous ont recommandé de bons restos. Un grand merci pour leur accueil et leur disponibilité
• Antonia (10/5): - Dolores a Tony sú skvelí hostitela. Mali sme k dispozicii niekoľko druhov kávy a čajov, kakao, korenie a domáci med. Privítali nás s kokosovým orechom a papajou. Pozvali nás na výbornú večeru a pri odchode sme dostali nahrdelnik s mušľami. Miesto ma dobre wifi a repolent. Cesta k ubytovaniu je rozbitá, je to problém pre auto s nízkym podvozkom.
• Juliette (10/5): Incroyable - Le logement est ultra confortable et bien équipé avec une vue incroyable. Les hôtes Dolorès et Tony sont plus qu’adorables.
• CarolP (10/5): Magnifique 🤩 - La sympathie et l’accueil des hôtes La terrasse et la vue splendide sur la baie Le confort et la propreté des lieux L’accès un peu difficile sur la montagne Les moustiques... 😉
• Yannick (10/5): - Les hôtes sont extraordinaires. Vraiment très gentils et généreux. Très belle terrasse avec une vue sur les montagnes et la baie et coucher de soleil magnifique. Avec une voiture, l' emplacement est parfait avec le beau parc dans la baie pour se baigner. On y retournerait sans hésitation. Les chiens sur la route pour monter la côte jusqu'au logement. Les coqs la nuit.
• Micha Richter (10/5): Wonderful Home with fantastic hosts - Modernly furnished apartment. Quiet neighborhood and a great view of the bay. Public beach with good snorkeling within walking distance. The hosts are exceptionally friendly, helpful, and committed to ensuring their guests have a wonderful holiday. ----
• Vivien (10/5): I would 100% recommend this accommodation. We had an excellent visit - Excellent location and Dolores and Tony were exceptional hosts. The bedrooms were very comfortable, we had everything we could have possibly needed and the terrace was a lovely space with a nice breeze to cool us down and the view was stupendous! Going up the drive was initially a bit of a challenge but we quickly got used to it.
• Katrin (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing view from the terrace and amazingly welcoming hosts!
• Sara (10/5): Felt like family! - The location was perfection. My favorite beach was less than a mile up the road. As others have said, the VIEW from the terrace is incredible. Dolores and Tony made me feel like family. The kitchen is set up well for my needs. One burner, coffee maker, fridge. They supply capsules for coffee, so no need to worry about that. They gave me eggs and fruit from their garden. Their kindness and generosity is unmatched. I would highly recommend this place, and I plan on coming back with my kid next time. Thank you, Dolores and John! The driveway is a little difficult for find, but that is super common on the island. Dolores was always in easy contact, so she was able to help me navigate in real time. The driveway is also pretty long and steep. No worries with a car, but on foot it might be tough. There are dogs, but they didn’t bother me.
• Matan (10/5): Very recommended for an authentic Polynesian stay. - Superb location. Very close to the beach. Fantastic views from the balcony and lovely hosts. Very equipped studio and kitchen. Dolores, Tony and their lovely family were great hosts. They were kind enough to offer me dinner with them, gave me local tropical fruits from their garden and left a small present when I left. Their place met every expectation I had and beyond. I couldn’t recommend more. Nothing.
• Tomlinson (10/5): Great price, location, and hosts that go the second mile to ensure a comfortable stay! - The view was what attracted us first to booking this home. However, we found that Dolores and Tony were also very kind and sincere. If you are not sure about driving up steep driveways (that make for an unforgettable view) but I found out how to do it, and was told from the very beginning how to navigate it well, so it really wasn’t a problem for us in our small stick shift car. ;)
• Nancy (10/5): Authentic and memorable - loved it here! - The hosts and their family are incredibly friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome as their guests and have made noticeable efforts to provide amenities that guests might want during their stay. These included local fresh fruit, honey, and eggs, as well as good selections of coffees, teas, shower products, etc. They have also installed an air-conditioning unit. Although we were able to tolerate the heat and humidity without it, it was nice to know it was available. The whole guest unit is spacious and clean. It was easy to prepare food in the ample kitchen area. There are tables for dining both indoors and outdoors. The guests' space is on the lower level of the home (hosts' bedrooms above - they can be heard walking around, but they seemed to be very respectful about keeping it to a minimum and to reasonable hours - it wasn't bothersome). While we were there we had the full patio area to ourselves. The view from the patio is spectacular. The property is not far from a well stocked small supermarket, a very nice beach and park (Public Beach Ta'ahiamanu), which we visited several times, and some restaurants and food trucks. Of the three places we stayed on Tahiti and Mo'orea, this was the most memorable and our favorite (although the others were really nice, too!). We will definitely recommend it to others. Please skip down and read the 'what-we-liked' section first! None of these is really much of a negative. Not unique to this home, but the mosquitoes (mystique) were at times bothersome. (Our stay was just a few days after Mo'orea had had a week's worth of rain, so they were apparently particularly bad.) We suffered a few bites before being prompted to apply bug repellant, and then we were fine. We never found mosquitoes inside our guest room, only in the open air (although we were careful about closing the doors and windows during dusk, dawn, when we were out, and when the air was still). The following three comments are not things we "didn't like". They are our observations and opinions regarding things people have either mentioned in their reviews or might care about. 1) The home is at the top of a short (steep) street that passes by a property where numerous dogs live and seem always to be outside. Of our six or eight trips up and down, we saw dogs almost every time but only one time did they bark at us. The other times they ignored us. A couple times we found one or two dogs lying in the middle of the street asleep. We just had to drive around them. They never followed us for more than a few meters and, for us, they were not an issue. 2) I'm sure all of Polynesia has many bugs and critters. We were amused to see small lizards and geckos inside the home on the walls and ceiling. Clearly they are just part of the landscape and don't bother anyone. We appreciate that Polynesians live in harmony with the creatures rather than trying to exclude or exterminate them. Ants (very tiny ones) seem to be common too, but we've not had any issues (at this or the other two places where we stayed) with them getting into our food, although we've tried to keep it all protected. 3) Local sounds (roosters and dogs). These were barely noticeable.
• Rafal (10/5): Exceptional -
• Meagan (9/5): Superb - Amazing hosts who even cooked us dinner one night. We enjoyed getting to know them and their family. They were super helpful with any questions we had, and made great suggestions for eating out. They provided fresh fruit and eggs from their garden. They left a lovely gift on the day of check out.
• Heath (10/5): Fantastic stay with such lovely people! - If it was possible to give an 11/10, I would! Tony and Dolores are two of the kindest people. They go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy the stay in their home. We were greeted with fresh coconuts and a plate of freshly cut mango from their tree. And later given a bowl of mangos to enjoy. Their place sits on top of a hill with a very beautiful view of the bay. The accommodation is simple but very comfortable, with everything you need in the kitchen, including lots of different coffee and teas to choose from. The bed is comfortable and the apartment very spacious. The toilet is detached but it’s your own to use. They provide shampoo and shower gel as well, and lots of different choices! They were so kind to invite us for dinner one of the nights. Fresh caught Marlin and lots of fresh Tuna prepared different ways, wow it was seriously the best dinner I’ve had in French Polynesia!! The driveway going up to the house is quite steep, but if you’re on a scooter or in a car it’s a breeze. Walking up isn’t bad, good for a bit of exercise! One of the most beautiful public beaches is a short walk from the house. We really enjoyed their place and their company! Would recommend to anyone looking to have nice accommodation that doesn’t break the bank and also a bit of a local vibe with the family. Dolores even offered us a ride to the ferry In the morning on her way to work. Such lovely people! Thanks for everything, guys! Wish you all the best! Everything was great!
• Kamila (10/5): Exceptional - I stayed for a week. Tony and Dolores are wonderful hosts and made me feel welcome. The apartment was clean, with a fantastic view of the Opunohu Bay and the surrounding mountains, a spectacular scenery. Apparently the terrace is a great place to watch the whales in the season (I was there just before the season started so no sightings for me). Public beach is about 15 mins walk. I would recommend to hire a car / scooter in order to avoid unwanted contact with a bunch of not so friendly unleashed dogs in the neighbourhood and to make it easier to get around the island (the nearest grocery shop / supermarket is a few km up the road).
• Didi (1/5): Overpriced and not a good place 😔 - The hosts are very sweet, but the accommodation is not ok. The whole building is very poor and run down. Extremely steep excess to the property. Very aggressive dogs attacking our car while driving up. 😰They belong to the neighbours. The accommodation is very dark and hot. There are tons of rosters around they crow from 2 am onwards. No earplugs help. I am sorry to give this bad review as the hosts are very lovely, but the accommodation is just not ok for THAT price!!! We left earlier than planned and I booked a very lovely, nice place in a better location for $50 a night less!
• Sue (9/5): A wonderful stay on the side of the hill and close to the public beach. - A beautiful, home stay/ Air BnB style accommodation. Dolores and Tony were the perfect hosts and made us feel so welcome. They cooked us bread fruit like the Tahitians eat it, what an experience. When you stay in hotels you hardly meet real local people, it was super being there. There is a fully equipped kitchen and there are views over the bay from the courtyard outside. Tony grows bananas and papaya and he greeted us with a fresh coconut to drink. If you’re on foot there is a big hill to climb so ask them to bring your luggage up. They’re very helpful and friendly people. Good communication via Booking site. There is a big hill, our scooter didn’t make it up the hill with two of us on it. If you’re on foot and don’t fancy a sweaty hike with your bags then let Tony and Dolores know. But without bags it’s fine if you’re fit.
• Joanne (10/5): Great value, amazing hosts, can’t beat the views! - Tony and Dolores and their boys were so great to meet. They made sure everything was available at the property for us. Tony provided us with coconut, dragon fruit, and mango from his fruit trees and Dolores gave us fresh eggs. AC not available.
• Matatia (9/5): Superb -
• Anna (10/5): I had a truly amazing time and hope to have the chance to return! - The hosts Tony and Dolores were absolutely wonderful, making my time in Moorea especially memorable with their company. They are such kind and caring people that I am grateful to have spent time with. The accommodation was excellent and clean with everything you needing even including fresh eggs from their chickens stocked in the kitchen. The location is great both for walking and biking. I hope I will be back to Moorea and spending time here again! The walk up the hill is steep but makes up for it with it’s beautiful view!
• Brad (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay at this homestay, the family was welcoming and helpful. - Family that we stayed with were beyond helpful, went out of their way to pick us up and drop us off at the ferry etc and gave us a lot of local knowledge. Fixed their pushbikes and let us use them to get around the island. Neighbours dogs loose running round and very aggressive when leaving the property on foot. Having a scooter or hire vehicle would be suited more for the location.
• Derya (9/5): A lovely comfortable place w/ a great view! - Tony & Dolo were excellent hosts, very sweet, caring and kind people. I stayed 3 nights at their home. Since I didn't have a car/scooter, they offered to pick me up/drop me off to places several times during my stay, also invited me to their dinner table which was very sweet, really took care of me as a solo traveller. They have a beautiful home with an amazing view. My room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. Nothing major, but maybe worth mentioning that the house is a bit up on the hill between 2 lagoons (hence it has a great view!) So without a car/scooter, it's a bit hard to reach only by walking as the road is pretty steep but a short one & close to the main road.
