Faré Pépénai

Where to start.. Elaine was a wonderful host, helping us with great, practical ideas. Arranged our car rental and the boat trip to the blue lagoon/aquarium. Booked us a table for the Polynesian music/dans dinner. Suggested us to visit the Gauguin pearl farm, at 14.00 they have a presentation about how the pearls are made. Very interesting, and unique. Don’t miss it when on Rangiroa. Also suggested us to book a wine tasting at the Cave of Tahiti. Very nice experience, tasty wines. The only wines in the world growing on coral ground, therefore mineral notes in the wines. Elaine was always very quick with responses and super helpful. And the house. It is just perfect. New, clean, has everything you need for your stay. It’s one of those places, where it feels like that your best friend just gave you the key of her ocean front holiday home and she just left. All the basics were there, salt pepper, oil, coffee, tea. Shop next door. We loved it. The ocean is just in front of the house, there’s stones so wear sturdy water shoes but there’s an amazing coral garden underneath, full of fishes. Don’t forget to bring your snorkel gear! We had dinner at the Kia Ora hotel, it was tasty. Visited the Miki Miki bar, goods drinks, great view on the bay. Most of our dinners we had at the nearby Chez Auguste et Antoinette. The grilled fishes and the Chinese dishes were all very tasty, local and affordable. All and all a perfect stay! 100% recommended! Thank you, Elaine for making our stay on Rangiroa magical! 🥰

wonderful modern bungalow for self catering . excellent location , access to the lagoon straight from the garden ( rocky though- no beach) . 3 bikes at disposal . super WIFI

all great! plse plant a few more plants in the garden , that would be a nice touch .... ist quite barren. now and would provide a more tropical touch.

Great house with Aircondition. Friendly owner. Thank you very much!

The house is very nicely decorated, comfortable, clean and super organized. The host is very friendly, she gave us very good instructions regarding the stay. She told us where are the shops, restaurants and even where you can watch nurse sharks from close vicinity. The accomodation along with the service were simply exceptional!

The house is a beautiful gem close to the Avatoru pass. The pictures show exactly how it is and are a perfect depiction of how much effort Eliane, the owner, puts in managing the property. The house is so tasteful and beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, has two spacious bedrooms, two big bathrooms, a beautiful dining room with a fully equipped kitchen. The beds are very confortable. Complimentary Wifi works great. The patio in the backyard is so convenient to chill and look at the beautiful colours of the ocean. You can actually enter the water and have a swim if the waves are not too strong (stay in the turquoise). In Rangiroa the weather can be tricky and staying at a cozy house was a lifesaver for us. Small stores and snack points are not far from the property either on foot or by bike.

All good!

Beautiful very tastefully furnished house.The house has everything you need. From the terrace there is a beautiful view of the lagoon. We especially appreciated the comfortable beds. The best property we have rented in French Polynesia. The owner was very nice and helpful for example she arranged car rental for us. Thank you for everything.

Everything. The house is so well appointed and has everything needed. The Nespresso coffee machine and air con in the bedrooms were highlights. The sea at the back of the house has fish swimming within ankle deep water. Swimming in the Aquamarine water and snorkelling with shoals of tropical fish and friendly black tip sharks is something I’ll never forget. It was great to be able to buy food at the supermarket next door and cook some meals. The frozen French duck and frozen potatoes made for a glorious and quick meal, as did the salmon rillette and baguette. Joyous!!

It got hit in the main living room but the fans were good and a breeze often cooled the deck

Elaine was at the property to greet us on arrival and showed us around and gave us valuable information about the area. Elaine is such a lovely and warm lady that goes above and beyond to ensure her guests have a memorable stay. Responds immediately to messages so communication is great. The house is so well equipped with everything you could need. Beautifully decorated and extremely clean and tidy. So lovely to open the gate in the backyard and go swimming and snorkeling with plenty of marine life to enjoy. Additionally there are two bikes so you can cycle around the island. The location just next door to a great grocery store and to the harbour where we went every evening to watch the nurse sharks was so fantastic.

Everything was just spot on. When the solar panels arrive and the air conditioning is installed this will be the perfect property to stay at in Rangiroa.
