Becarefull !! All the bungalow don't have the privacy and view excepted ! We stay in the Kava, you are just up the reception/laundry with a view of reception roof (metal tile roof) you feel more on a favela than a hotel, the bungalow do not have any curtain, the terrasse it's 80% of the bungalow all open, so you are the show of the hotel. All people see you eating, coming in/out the bathroom, going to sleep... it's 0% privacy. We feel unconfortable and leave before our check out day with no refund for the left night

The grounds are beautiful and the bungalows are a fun experience but….. understand if you stay here, you will be sleeping with bugs and critters, they are open rooms. The screen around the bed helps. Also, there is no air conditioning. If you book this on Expedia, do not expect to be able to change the dates or rooms. It makes you cancel and rebook, and keep in mind, the room you originally booked will not show up. The Kava room was beautiful. The Ofai room not as much.
Beautiful sunsets.
Centipedes, spiders, armies of ants all over our bungalow. We kept all of our luggage closed and off the main tables (ants). A critter also ate through my backpack and a sealed granola package.
Beautiful, but if mobility is an issue, consider the walking, hills and stairs.

We loved our stay at Vanira Lodge. The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing. We were in Vai Ora and the views were stunning. We especially enjoyed the hot tub on our terrace and having AC in the bedroom. The only thing that might be an issue for some people are the lizards and small worms that share the space. The lizards were on the terrace, but the little worms were in the bedroom. The property lets you know in advance and it didn't bother us, but it's good to be aware before you book. Overall we had a fabulous time and hope to go back!

This is like a hillside garden paradise overlooking Teahupo’o and surrounding ocean. Staff is as accommodating as one can get. They are marvelous. The chef is a young man that cooks excellent meals. The bungalow was immaculately clean and one also feels living in nature. Like high quality glamping but perhaps better. The shampoo and shower gel is divine (Tiare).

This is a fabulous place at the end of the road on Tahiti Iti. Our accommodation had fans and mosquito netting and was open to the elements, but no air conditioning and very limited Wi-Fi access. It offered a wonderful back-to-nature experience, but it is very hot and humid in Tahiti so anyone staying here will want to be comfortable without A/C. I believe other units in the complex do have A/C, and the two pools are lovely and cool. The views are gorgeous and dinner at the restaurant was spectacular.

Want unique? This is the place!

Vanira is a perfect retreat for a rustic getaway - no room service, no hand and foot service. In short- perfect for us! Excellent staff and pristine grounds to enjoy.

Beautiful, unique resort in the jungle

Vanira Lodge was a great choice for our last night in French Polynesia after a great trip. It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive from PPT but well worth it. Great restaurant, amazing views from the hill and a gorgeous jungle setting. Each bungalow is one of a kind. If we came back with kids it would work great.

South Pacific Bliss

A really great place - a little rustic, but comfortable and beautiful. The restaurant is very good, and the staff is sweet. Be sure to book a cottage with air conditioning - it’s basically rainforest and there are lots mosquitoes. But sitting a private hot tub overlooking the Pacific is divine.
