Fare Mirimiri

The view from here was so lovely, so extraordinary, that we chose to eat here every single night. We just brought food in, because it was better than being at a restaurant! We did the same for our breakfasts. And one day, we just enjoyed the view while we played cards and read. We are not sit-in-the-hotel people, but this was just just a mountain-top oasis of peace and relaxation. Beautiful outdoor shower. Host so friendly.

Only thing you need to be aware of is that the drive is a bit steep and scary, and you'll probably park a bit below and walk up the steep hill to get there. So, not super convenient to lots of comings and goings. I'd still stay here anyway if you like a nice view and can walk up/down a hill!

Thank you Cathy Ho for a delightful stay at your lovely vacation home. you are an absolute gem! The property is spotless, thoughtfully decorated, equipped with essentials, comfortable and provides a breathtaking view of the lagoon. And, though we only stayed 24 hours, you made us feel like family. Mauruuru and mauhaamaitairaa

The view! And the cosy high sofa to admire that view and the amazing sunsets every night. And the hosts are so welcoming.

A bit of a challenge to park the car up there, mainly because our basic car was low and we made some scratches underneath because of the slope. Better to have a big car or park lower.

Just perfect .. of all the places I booked on Raiatea, this was my favourite ! It was the sweetest home, in the sweetest location, with the sweetest host :-) Nourished by the view, the stay, the welcome .. just perfect :-)

Breathtaking views and very friendly hosts. Cathy and Ralph went out of their way to help us get to the property with all our luggage. The property had everything we needed for an overnight stay and we would have loved to stay longer. The outside shower overlooking the blues of the water below is excellent. We also received beautiful necklaces as a going away gift that Cathy made herself.

The fans helped to cool the rooms down but in the warmer months air conditioners would be great.

The house is spacious with two bathrooms and toilets., The view is amazing, big veranda with table and raised bed, outdoor shower is also a big bonus.,The kitchen have everything you need.The owners Cathy and Ralph are very helpful and nice people! Access with the car is a bit difficult, you have to stop and carry your bags for 20-30 m , but Ralf was there to help for the first and the last day.. Overall , very positive!

Spectacular view, quiet location, gracious and accommodating hosts, from the first inquiry to our departure, when Cathy showered us with her elegant hand-made shell necklaces. Ralph is a former pearl diver and it was a delight to see what Cathy made with so many black pearls.

A traditional home in French Polynesia. The view of the lagoon and moto was over the top, and the warmth from the hosts beyond compare.

The excellent location overlooking the sunset, the welcome from Chaty and her husband, the breakfast!

The Fare is located uphill, with a great view on the MiriMiri bay - car needed! It's very spacious (actually accommodates two families - two bedrooms, two bathrooms, one grand living/kitchen). Cathy and Ralph took care of everything - actually they picked us up at the airport although we had a rental car, just to show us the way. They prepared an excellent breakfast for some very reasonable price and Cathy offered to act as a guide and show us the island. Things did not happen as planned - because of the rain, but finally we still got to see the Maraes, the botanic garden and a pearl farm. We really felt like home - our hosts are not only committed to their guests' well-being but nice humorous persons - and deeply connected to their fenua (home land) - thus excellent guides. Would certainly return with great pleasure... on a dry week!

Driving uphill & parking may be tricky in a rental car you're not used to...but you will get used to, eventually.
