Villa Te Fetia Nui Moorea - Pool and sea view Reviews

This place was amazing!! Beautiful jungle setting, not on the beach but frankly we didn’t miss it due to the fantastic pool, totally secluded and private but 3 min to the main road around Mo‘orea, 5 min to the ferry. One thing to note: you will need to rent a car with sufficient clearance to navigate a short but very rocky part of the road leading to the villa. The kitchen is fully stocked with all dishes, glassware, utensils, and everything you need for cooking. François and Mathilde have also stocked basics like oils, spices, pods for the Nespresso (although there is also a French press so buy some ground Tahitian coffee if you like more than a cup in the morning!). AND they provided one gorgeous Tahiti Queen pineapple for each day of our 9 day rental (these are the sweetest pineapples this side of the Antigua black) and some lovely “apple” bananas. There were flowers everywhere upon our arrival - a lovely welcoming touch. The bedrooms (3) are spacious with comfortable beds, and the upstairs bathroom has a wonderful rain shower. Also, there is a fan and a mosquito repellent device in each bedroom - the place is cooled quite efficiently by leaving the doors and windows open, the breeze is lovely, and keeping the fans on kept mosquito bites to a minimum. That being said, it is probably not a good choice for those who need ice cold air conditioning to be comfortable. Two cats live there - they are delightful and cuddly, and will hang out with you on the deck or the sofa, by the pool, and even sleep in the bed with you (so maybe not a good choice for those with allergies). To be clear, we are cat people and LOVED this feature!! Another thing to note: there are chickens everywhere around and the roosters vocalize all day starting about 30 min before sunrise and finally quieting around 30 min after sunset. We found this mostly charming, and we didn’t miss a single beautiful sunrise 🌄. With all the open doors, the chickens will enter the house if you go down to the pool so we learned to close the doors on the top level leaving a gap less than one chicken wide 🙂 All in all, we couldn’t have imagined a better place to stay for our time on Mo’orea. Totally private, comfortable, and luxurious in all the right ways. It truly became our home away from home.

My husband and I enjoyed 5 nights at this property above Vaiare. The views were absolutely fabulous. The outdoor patio extends from the kitchen to bring the outdoors inside. The pool is beautiful and private. We enjoyed having a washing machine since this was the second half of our Moorea vacation. The pool is reached from the house by descending two long, steep staircases. This could be a concern for someone with mobility issues. The road leading to the property contains a section of about 150 yards that is very difficult to drive over in a “regular” car. A vehicle with greater clearance and larger tires would make the access easier. We found it challenging to sleep well the first couple of nights without air conditioning. We must have acclimated because we slept better later in our stay. Please be aware that roosters will crow throughout the day and night and neighboring dogs can cause a ruckus. Overall, we were very pleased to spend 5 nights at this lovely home. We felt we were able to get a more authentic Moorea experience than we would have staying at a resort.

We stayed at this home and loved it. It was beautiful and the pool was great at the end of the day. We have stayed at other places in Moorea but this is our favorite, we will be staying here again. The hosts were thoughtful, helpful and paid attention to every detail.

Le chemin d'accès est une piste accidentée pas du tout adapté aux voitures de location. En arrivant surprise de trouver un chat à s'occuper qui n'était pas indiqué (annonce modifiée depuis). La vue mer est à deviner à travers les arbres. Le quartier est très bruyant et le ferry particulièrement dès 5h. Des cafards dans les chambres( le chat est là pour les chasser paraît-il), aucune climatisation juste des fenêtres persiennes, ce nest pas une clim... Les ventilateurs font un bruit du tonnerre et aucune moustiquaire alors qu'il y a énormément de moustiques (des prosuits sont fournis mais ca ne suffit pas). Les photos vendent du rêve mais les meubles sont délabrés, la maison souffre de l'humidité globalement et les oreillers et matelas sont moisis. La cuisine est équipée certe mais juste de quoi manger à 6 et pas plus, 2 pastilles de lave vaisselle fourni pour une semaine.
