Guest Reviews
- veronique (8/5): - Lieu magnifique
- Marine (8/5): Superbe pension convivial - Les équipements de la salle commune Les chambres sont agréables La plage au pied des chambres et les kayaks à disposition Le petit déjeuner exceptionnel et la pizza fait maison
- Brit (8/5): -
- Gaël (9/5): - Les kayaks sont a disposition Le petit dejeuner est top Le garage pour la voiture Ca manque de taxi boat dans le coin
- Christine (10/5): Un accueil chaleureux dans un hébergement topissime - Merci à Ketty et Moerii pour leur chaleureux accueil. Nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous, ce fut un séjour très agréable. Nous étions tristes de les quitter. Le lodge est fabuleux, la literie très confortable. La salle à manger commune est très grande et bien équipée. La plage privée avec ses canoës disponibles permet baignade et promenade. Notre meilleure pension pour l’instant sur notre circuit. Juste signaler que c’est mieux d’avoir une voiture car les activités se passent plutôt au nord de l’île et aucun prestataire ne vient nous chercher.
- Hugues (10/5): UN OASIS A DÉCOUVRIR - Emplacement parfait , calme total , jardin magnifique, autonomie complète pour se préparer les repas , wifi parfait même en étant éloigné, petit déjeuner disponible délicieux, le un soir possibilité de super pizza digne d une pizzeria romaine ,en bord de mer , 5 mn en voiture du site UNESCO . Nous recommandons ! Rien
- Atea (10/5): Exceptional - Les équipements Un peut loins de la ville
- Julien (10/5): - Superbe accueil, magnifique emplacement, très bon petit déjeuner et des kayaks a disposition sur place
- Benjamin (7/5): -
- patrick (10/5): Excellent séjour rapport qualité prix très bien, A recommander fortement - L'emplacement près de la baie , le logement impécable, les Propietaires sont super avec des petit-déjeuner extraordinaire (tout fait maison et délicieux) (pain , pain coco, croissant, fruits, pancake, oeufs bacon, gateau à la banane,etc...) ETsuper Pizza pour le diner
- Noëmie (7/5): - Le bungalow est de bonne qualité et confortable Personnel pas toujours agréable et petit déjeuner hors de prix
- philippe (10/5): - La gentillesse du personnel Rien
- coudert (10/5): Superbe séjour - Très beau jardin très bien entretenu avec en plus des informations sur les plantes et arbres. Acces direct à la plage . Entretien soigné des intérieurs et extérieurs . Accueil très chaleureux . À recommander ++
- Johann (7/5): - Die Lage, die Unterkunft. Das amerikanische. Frühstück, das freundliche Personal⁹ ⁹
- Alessandra (10/5): - Il posto incantevole, la pulizia, la disponibilità dei proprietari, la struttura. Tutto perfetto e ben curato !
- Antoine (10/5): - La propreté. Hébergement parfaitement entrenu et décoré. La salle à manger est toujours nickel et fleurie. Dans la cuisine partagée, tout est propre, éviers, plans de travail, vaiselle protégée par des nappes, torchons toujours propres. Les hôtes et propriétaires du lieux, d’un premier abord discrets sont très disponibles. Nous avons eu plaisir à échanger avec eu longuement autour d’une bierre après une initiation au va ́a. R.A.S
- Bernard (10/5): - Tout. La gentillesse des hôtes. La situation et le cadre. La possibilité de diner sur place. La bonne signalisation. Rien. De ne pouvoir rester plus longtemps!
- Chezza 3 (10/5): Relaxing environment, attentive friendly staff, Happy to return, Would recommend to other families. - We were meet by the owner Michel and his staff. All the staff were very accommodating and pleasant they made us all feel at home. The staff did their very best to ensure we enjoyed our stay, they were very attentive. The property was perfect for me and my whanau (family) we live near the ocean in NZ. We enjoy being near the ocean and forest. A great opportunity for all to rejuvenate mind and body. We were all able to relax and enjoy the private beach. We were very grateful and blessed for their assistance with the option of a late check-out and help with transport to Uturoa Airport. The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and spacious. The Kitchen/pantry storage and dining area's were clean perfect for our needs. We will be back. Tau Ke!!
- Anna (10/5): - L'emplacement est vraiment génial. Au bord d'une plage privée dans le lagon. Des kayaks sont disponibles, sans frais, pour se balader sur le lagon et découvrir un motu et son jardin de corail. La chambre était spacieuse avec vue sur la plage. Les espaces communs pratiques et chaleureux. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants et disponibles. Ils font aussi des préparations maison pour le petit déjeuner et les soirées pizzas régulières sont top. Super séjour.
- Vincent Siquier (9/5): Superbe lodge - Superbe lodge au bord de la mer, très jolie, très bien entretenu. Cuisine commune vaste et bien équipée permettant de se concocter ses repas. Canoë kayak à disposition, gratuit permettant d'aller jusqu'au motu voisin. Climatisation et moustiquaire, bonne literie. Confortable. Nous recommandons vraiment. Nos hôtes furent sympathiques et de très bons conseils. Les supermarchés sont à Utuora la ville principale de Raiatea et à 45 mn de distance de Oviri. Heureusement nous avions pensé à faire nos courses. Offre petit déjeuner un peu cher à notre goût. Mais encore une fois, la cuisine équipée permettant de se préparer son petit déjeuner soit même.
- Alix (8/5): - L’endroit est magnifique et la chambre très propre. Le prix du petit déjeuner est excessif pour ce qui est proposé. La propriétaire des lieux n’a pas été d’une très grande amabilité que ce soit pour le Check-in ou pour le petit déjeuner.
- Thomas (10/5): - Our room (cottage) was perched 180 ft above the beach. It was perfectly outfitted with porch, kitchen, bedroom w king size bed. The bathroom was amazing with separate shower and toilet rooms. Both were overlooking the ocean and beach and entire grounds. The entire building was done in local, highly polished, hardwood. The downside is if you don’t have a car rental the taxi fare is 70,000 xfp so stay a few days.
- Paul (10/5): - Le matelas peu confortable
- JOEL (8/5): Bel endroit - Bel endroit mais pour y arriver il y a une belle descente. Sinon le lieu est calme , la chambre est très bien et propre, l’accueil est professionnel et strict, tout est bien organisé, il y a une plage et on peut y faire du kayak.
- Reinhard (9/5): A very nice place with only minor shortcomings - Beautiful locally, very kind and attentive owners Towel rails in the bathroom and bedside tables would be nice, also a small table outside to put a cup or glass on would be helpful.
- Arturo (8/5): - La famiglia che gestisce il lodge é molto cordiale e diaponibile É a 50 minuti di macchina dall'aeroporto e non c'è nulla a meno di 15 mintui di macchina. Il posto é molto tranquillo quindi se é quello che cercate é perfetto, altrimenti conviene scegliere qualcosa di piu vicino al paese!
- Mélanie (8/5): - Jolie plage, localisation intéressante pour découvrir le sud de l’île. Accueil très froid et expéditif. Aucun contact/recommandation pendant le séjour malgré la présence des hôtes sur place.
- Pascal (8/5): -
- Philippe (7/5): -
- Katriana (10/5): - The family was so kind and friendly- and the lodge was absolutely beautiful- completely breathtaking. We can’t wait to stay here again!!! -Kat and Mark (the fireman)
- Joseph (10/5): You couldn’t ask for a nicer facility and staff for a one night layover! - The rooms were excellent! The woodwork was amazing throughout the entire facility. Nothing really, it was only 30-40 minutes from the airport
- lisa (10/5): - This place is beautiful. The sounds of the birds the beauty of the plants, the view from the bungalow, all excellent. I like being in nature and this was like being in nature while still having comforts of home. The bathroom itself was gorgeous with a skylight, lava rock and plants. The man squiring net around the bed really works well. The owners took us on a boating trip to snorkel and it was divine. All very restful.
- Hettie (10/5): Beautiful place, great staff and great price. You will need a car to get there. - This was an excellent find. We needed to make a last minute reservation and they were very accommodating for our group of 9. Although it is a little out of the way, and you really need a car to get there, it was a beautiful spot and the staff was exceptional.
- Patricia (9/5): Superb -
- Daniel (8/5): Bungalow agréable. - Location agréable, très bon accueil et disponibilité de nos hôtes. Bel environnement mais prévoir un moyen de transport pour les commerces et restaurants.
- Christine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Guillaume (10/5): Allez y les yeux fermés ! - Nous avons passé un super séjour dans notre bungalow. Il faut impérativement un véhicule pour accéder au lodge. Notre expérience était incroyable ! Le départ des excursions est possible depuis le lodge. Nous sommes même allé pêcher avec le mari de Katy et son fils, un moment que nous n’oublierons jamais !
- Susan (10/5): - This was a beautiful place - lots of personal touches and the hosts were very helpful.
- Arthur (8/5): Séjour agréable en famille - Séjour agréable en famille avec 2 enfants en bas âge dans le Logement Tipanier. L’environnement est très beau et la salle commune bien équipé. Manque peut être quelques jeux pour les enfants ! L’isolation phonique des bungalows est très limitée.
- Elodie (10/5): Un séjour parfait à Oviri Lodge - Si vous cherchez un lieu calme, propre, beau avec un accueil plus que parfait alors foncez au Oviri Lodge. Les propriétaires sont adorables et tout était parfait. Possibilité de se faire la cuisine soi-meme ou de commander de délicieuses pizzas maison! Un magnifique motu à proximité, kayak en libre accès - un petit coin de paradis! Il vous faudra un moyen de locomotion car le lodge est loin de tout, c'est aussi ce qui fait partie de son charme.
- Caryn (10/5): It was a lovely place to chill out. - The individual Japanese-inspired lodges were private and beautifully zen, complete with mosquito nets and a ceiling fan (no AC). The lodges with kitchenettes were not available during our stay but the shared kitchen was well equipped and each lodge had a designated refrigerator shelf and pantry shelf. There were no amenities provided so you have to bring everything with you. You can request breakfast and pizza at night for extra charge. We arrived via ferry to Ra’iatea on Sunday and learned that most of the shops and restaurants are closed all or most of the day. Alcohol is also not sold on Sunday afternoons. So, it would be better for shopping, eating and stocking up to arrive and leave on a day other than Sunday. There also is no shuttle or public transport to the Lodge so you need to rent a car. The drive from the airport or ferry landing takes at least 40 minutes on a narrow winding road repleat with scooters, dogs, chickens and pedestrians. Having said all that, the grounds and location are lovely as are the hosts Ketty and Moerii. The garden ends in a narrow strip of sandy beach that looks out to the nearby mouth of the bay. You can see and hear the surf rolling in. You can read and relax or paddle a kayak to the motu to snorkel (there is equipment to borrow). It was a lovely place to chill out. All was good.
- Constance (10/5): - The people who own and run the Lodge and their staff are gracious, accomodating and fun. The setting, from the beach to the trees and flowers, is lovely. Want to go back!
- John (10/5): Excellent ~ no complaints at all! - I stayed at Fare Oviri two times, during my vacation in French Polynesia. Both stays were quite excellent. The host and his family were friendly and very attentive to their customers’ comfort. The breakfasts were home~cooked and tasted wonderful! On multiple occasions the hosts took guests in their power boat, for an afternoon tour of a nearby Motu, where I was able to snorkel and film lots of tropical fishes and coral. (There was no additional charge for that guided tour). I would highly recommend this accommodation to others. 👍👍 Can’t think of anything ~ it was all quite excellent !
- Tobias (8/5): A great nights sleep in the jungle. - Great clean comfortable room. Private quiet location. Nice handmade pizza on premises, otherwise no dinner service. Friendly owners on site. Some construction going on for future improvements. The private beach needs some cleanup. Kayaks were available but no information given as to where to go. Apparently there was a nice bird sanctuary within paddle distance. Would have been nice to have been told. A full kitchen at our disposal which would have been nice to know before we arrived.
- Ricky (10/5): - This is a very quite part of the island. My villa had a spectacular view. The best part was sitting on the deck in the morning and looking at the view
- John (10/5): Highly recommended - The accommodation was excellent. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was phenomenal. Everything was above expectations.
- Delphine (10/5): The best stay we had in Polynesia ! - Everything from the comfort, location, people, … Nothing
- Julian (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast was very good. It was nice to have a range of homemade jams to choose from. The location is perfect for resting or being active - a variety of activities are available at the site. The hosts are excellent - very friendly and helpful. Nil
- Francisca (10/5): - The place has been set up very beautifully, many details considered. The hosts were friends;y and helpful. The breakfast was fantastique. Best so far in our trip. We would happily come back. Note it is isolated, which is part of the charm. Do rent a car in advance. Can do the whole island. Very close to the sacred Marae.
- Jl (8/5): Very nice bungalows remotely located - Well equiped bungalow in the see side with beach and free kayaks Well equiped kitchen Very helpful hosts full of good advise Very remote in the south of the island You need a car No food on site and sketchy restaurent Best to buy you own food
- Smith (10/5): Exceptional - Michael and his wife were absolutely wonderful hosts, they are putting in a lot of work to make the property even more beautiful. They were very attentive to our needs, and helped arrange excursions (best to arrange before you arrive, they fill up!) The bungalow was lovely, clean and roomy (fresh flowers in the room when we arrived). The shared space had everything we needed to prepare meals. We indulged, and had two breakfasts prepared for us, we were so full we skipped lunch both days! Kayaks are provided with nice snorkeling, and the huge archaeological site within paddling distance. We encountered dolphins on our day paddling. Rays are common, but we missed seeing them. We absolutely recommend a stay here, they are equipped to host couples and entire families. Having a rental car is highly recommended, it is 45mins to an hour from the main town where most diving and excursions are based. That said, a car is a GREAT way to see the entire island, we were very happy we had one for our entire stay.
- Karolina (9/5): Great Lodge - The owners are super friendly and we had an amazing stay. There is a nice private beach and they offer free kayaks where it’s possible to visit a small Motu for a snorkeling stop. They also offer great pizzas and breakfast. It’s a bit remote and a car might be needed. As there are new owners they are renovating a lot and also building a new main house, that lead to some noise.
- Petemoss (10/5): What a property! Two acres of beautiful lush greenry on the water with an amazing host family. - The host waited up for us to provide keys and escorted us to our Tree House with fresh fruits from their garden.
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Justine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gspff (8/5): Magnificient view, great activities at the lodge - We met with Corinne who gave us the keys to the room and gave us a tour of the property. You have access to the kitchen, which is very well organized with room allocated in the fridge and shelves. Corinne also prepares breakfast and pizzas for dinner. We borrowed very good kayaks that we used to visit a motu nearby, it has the best snorkeling of the island. Highly recommend ! The bonus: the view from the lodge facing the bay is just magnificent. the location is a bit remote but we were in the most beautiful bay of the island so it was largely worth it.
- Elena (7/5): Good -
- Werner (9/5): lovely and calm bungalows - very nice place. remote, with a private beach and perfect snorkling spots nearby. friendly owners and very good bungalows only 2 restaurants are within a 15 min drice
- Laura (9/5): Superb -
- Diane (8/5): Very good -
- Francois (7/5): Good -
- Mg (6/5): I might probably stay somewhere else next time. - Very quiet and peaceful, beautiful surroundings. There is also a private beach. Breakfast was good but it has to be paid separately. It was a bit challenging to understand what the hosts would consider to be their job or not: they were very helpful booking me a car, but they didn’t do the same with other guests so I ended up riding 2 of them with me back to the village. The fact that I was supposed to do the trip regardless, and that they turned out to be extremely good people, doesn’t change the fact I was the one on task. If you book a bungalow here, you MUST get a car also - and be prepared to do a fare share of km to get food too: there is only a restaurant nearby and it’s difficult to predict when pizza would be available at the property. Also, I found three pieces of open soaps (Home made? Second-hand? Just unwrapped for me?) and fresh flowers in the bathroom upon my arrivals - and a cemetery of insects on the sink. Wi-fi was poor, and the best network wasn’t accessible to us.
- Nicole (8/5): Very good -
- Ramsey (9/5): Would definitely go there again!! - Caroline and Pasqual were very gracious hosts. Attention is given to all of your needs. Very hospitable. Excellent homemade breakfast.
- Ian (9/5): Superb -
- André (10/5): Magique! Exceptionnel! - Séjour fantastique: un lieu magique d’une beauté exceptionnelle; des chambres d’une déco tres raffinée. Literie excellente; et Pascal à notre écoute pour toutes les questions Tres agréable mise à disposition des kayaks ….
- sylvaine (10/5): Sérénité à Raiatea - Séjour au calme entre campagne et mer accessible au bout du jardin. Logement très grand et propre. Les hôtes sont très accueillants, sympathiques et disponibles. Grande pièce à vivre et à partager avec possibilité de cuisiner donc très appréciable car loin des commodités
- Allison (10/5): - Great expierance. Thanks guys
- Fernando (10/5): budget family friendly cabanas w sunset view - Great family friendly floorplan each cabana had two bedrooms one with multiple twin beds for children and separate queen bed for adults the staff was great at scheduling excursions.free kayaks to take go out to adjacent MOTU Beautiful view of sunsets over the ocean highly recommend it for budget conscious families
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay with respectful and helpful hosts! A little piece of jungle paradise!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Séjour Oviri Lodge c - Séjour très agréable au Oviri Lodge. Accueil chaleureux, bungalow avec vue sur mer , plage accessible, par contre voiture de location indispensable. Les hôtes Cyril et Louise sont charmants et très serviables.
- Alysson (8/5): - Gostei muito, porém não estamos acostumados com a cozinha compartilhada
- Monika (2/5): Never again - I would like to start with something positive: the owner is nice, but it is hard to communicate in English, they have kayaks that you can use. Unfortunately, this is by far our worst experience of a stay in a “hotel”. The lodge we stayed at was the most expensive and “luxurious”. It was rather dirty when we arrived and it is in a forest meaning a lot of bugs, spiders and crabs in your apartment.... when coming at night you will feel like in a horror movie - this is more like camping experience in super deep woods with a serious attract of crabs. You won’t find anything romentic about this place more like we seriously paid to be here? It is also located really far from “civilization”. I would suggest staying closer to the city center. My advice to the owner make it really clean and offer daily fresh towels, pick up garbage (none of this was done while we stayed there) ... I forgot to add internet is in so called common area - so you have to walk around 10 min. Down a hill to connect with the outside world and it is really poor connection - you won’t be able to achieve a lot... Their pillows were old and super uncomfortable ... We stayed there 4 nights and were counting hours to leave, what a sad experience of French Polynesia for us.
- Paolo (10/5): Struttura molto curate - Splendida struttura piccola ma curata. Consigliamo di noleggiare una macchina perché è piuttosto isolata ma in un contesto veramente bello.
- David (10/5): Hawaiians on Property - The Hotel is nice, secluded, and peaceful. The property is very well maintained. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating. Cyrille and Louise are the best hosts you can have. We were able to get a car rental through them and their breakfast was excellent. I wish we could have stayed there longer to really enjoy the property. Hopefully one day we can come back. MARURU. ALOHA.
- Dean (10/5): Hidden gem - This is the sort of hidden gem you dream of discovering when you travel. I booked the Oviri Lodge because it was the most reasonable choice close to the Taputapuatae cultural site. As soon as we drove down the driveway to the cluster of charming bungalos at the edge of a crystal clear lagoon, I knew we were in for a treat. The suite was huge, the view sublime, and Lousie and Cyrille gracious and helpful. There were fresh flowers everywhere, and the breakfast spread was AMAZING - every tropical fruit you can imagine, many types of fresh pastry, hot good coffee, their homemade jams. Plus Lousie helped us meet a local guide to the sacred Taputapuatae site we would never have found on our own. Having lived and worked in Polynesia for a decade, and visited most of the major sites, this was the best hotel experience I've had.
