This property is high end. You’re above the hustle and bustle of Tahiti with endless views of the ocean. The full French breakfast in the open air space makes the experience. Take time to get to know Valerie and Lawrence. You’ll be a changed person from their peaceful style.

Inaccurate information - beware!

Hosts Valerie and Laurent were friendly and helpful but this does not override the fact that the information they supplied is inaccurate. There is no restaurant and no coffee shop. They used to offer evening meals but ceased to do this a year ago! There is a breakfast area, but no coffee bar or café, just a coffee machine. All really misleading. I was looking forward to resting in the mountains for a few days. I was between hectic tours and didn’t want to be energetic. Pool and restaurant sounded fine. Except there was nothing in the area to eat at all and nearest shops and restaurants two miles away, down the mountain road. A taxi just down the road to the coast cost 20 USD. Valerie pushed me into renting a car and to be fair, fixed it up for me, driving me to the rental place. So I ended up touring, which was not what I had planned or budgeted for The room was fair. The safe was locked and I couldn’t use it. There’s the teeniest bin you ever saw in your life. Just the one, in the bathroom. It’s a fight to open or close the curtains; the pole is too large for the holes. I have a kettle, tea bags and a bottle of water in a fridge. But no cutlery, mugs or glasses. Nice terrace and swimming pool. Obscured views to the sea and the mountain. Neither are stunning. The Wi-Fi here is shockingly slow to non-existent. I ask about it but am dismissed and told it’s my phone that’s the problem and no-one else has ever complained. Except the Wi-Fi works perfectly on my phone when

Fresh croissants and fruit from the island for breakfast were delicious. Wonderful, kind hosts with fabulous recommendations for our time on the island. Loved every minute of our stay. Only wish it were longer. Such a peaceful and beautiful property.

The space was immaculate and the sun rise and sun set views were breathtaking! If you're staying in Tahiti i would definitely reconsider staying here!

A Truly Warm and Welcoming Stay! From the moment we arrived (even at 2am, thanks to Valerie waiting up for us!), we felt right at home. Valerie, Laurent, and Tom made us feel like part of the family. We had good chats about local life in Polynesia. The accommodation is clean, cozy, and spacious - perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. you’ll need a car since it’s up in the hills, but the drive is easy. Every morning, Valerie spoiled us with a delicious breakfast - fresh fruit, pastries, and eggs to start the day off right. Plus, her local tips were spot-on! As first-timers in French Polynesia, we really appreciated her advice not just for Tahiti, but for the other islands too. She even helped us arrange an unforgettable snorkel tour in Moorea with Captain Taina, where we swam with stingrays, reef sharks, and turtles. A highlight of our trip so far! We can’t recommend this place enough!

Great guest house. Tucked in the hills, with a view of the ocean, flowers and roosters crowing. Owners are very nice and helpful. Let us use snorkel equipment and beach towels. They helped us with navigating the island and places to visit. Other guests were also respectful and friendly. They have a fridge and outdoor kitchen to make your own dinner. You need a rental car for here and to see the island.

I absolutely love this place! It's situated in the hills of Tahiti and had beautiful views of the ocean. The rooms were very large and well decorated. The family who owns and manages the property are some of the nicest people I've ever met. They were very accommodating to our requests and provided info about the places to visit on Tahiti and Moorea. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful and Warm Hospitality

Wonderful stay in the hills overlooking Papeete. Maison Taina is charming and very hospitable mostly due to the warm, welcoming nature of Valerie (the owner) and her son, Tom. Both did everything they could to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The welcomed addition of breakfast each day made for a delicious start to our Tahitian adventure

Incredible stay! The hosts were beyond accommodating and gave great local recommendations (plus cooked a delicious breakfast!) This beautiful property is situated nicely up a hill above the bustle below. I'd rather stay here than at any resort. Book a rental car, stay here, and explore the incredible island!

I got lucky to find this family run guest house in a quiet hill neighborhood in Arue. Laurence, Valerie and super chef son Tom were beyond hospitable and made a wonderful stay in Tahiti even more so. The personal touch was everywhere, breakfast was a treat, and the thoughtfully prepared dinner option was amazing. Five stars!!
