Being in BoraBora was absolute paradise. The host and his wife were most gracious and our Nir and Tiare were helpful with any questions we had. I can not say enough about this dreamy bungalow. We feel so blessed to experience this journey and make friends along the way. You cannot go wrong with this most wonderful home in paradise! Perfect spot on the island and the sunsets are amazing!

The place is wonderful and very cozy/comfortable. A few things show some wear but not detracting from our stay at all. Ac is in both bedrooms and main living area. The place stays nice a cool. We saw stingrays swimming under the bungalow!Nir and his wife were very helpful. Be sure to rent a car from them. It’s needed to get around on the island.We would definitely rent again- and plan to in the next couple of years.

The A/C units worked great. The place was clean and in a good location. The kitchen was adequate, but could use a little better utensils. Had great porch, but the sun deck could have been a bit larger. Yes We would stay there again.

We absolutely loved staying at this bungalow. The property hosts were so kind and accommodating. They were easy to communicate with and gave us some excellent recommendations for places to eat and things to do around the island. The area was beautiful and we enjoyed spending time in the water and on the deck.

It was a lovely relaxing 2 week vacation for us. We loved the over the water bungalow. It had a full kitchen where we can cook our own meals. The place has a ceiling fan and 3 air conditioners to keep the place cool. The nearest town, Vaitape, is about a 16 minute drive, where there are restaurants and grocery stores. You do need a car to get around. The bungalow is located in the northern part of the island. It is kind of secluded. We have an unobstructed view of the lagoon. We swam and snorkel off our deck. And watched kayakers race in the lagoon. In the evenings, we watched the beautiful sunsets. There is a double kayak on the deck. We didn’t use it because it required two strong people to move it in and out of the water. A couple of times during our stay, tour buses would stop in front of our bungalow. We guess Marlon Brando’s ex-bungalow is still a tourist attraction. The property manager, Nir, got us a rental car at a reasonable rate. He was very helpful during our stay. The owner, Richard, was responsive to our queries as well. Think of the bungalow as a nice home stay. It does not have the amenities of a luxury 5-star resort.

Perfect bungalow in a great location

We really enjoyed our stay at the bungalow. We loved being able to hop in the water off the small dock and snorkel for hours. The location was perfect, very quiet, but still close enough to Vaitape to go shopping or go eat dinner. Nir and Tiare were perfect hosts. We would absolutely recommend this place (my friends are now going there in April from my recommendation) and would love to come back.

Fabulous Property

We had such a magical stay at the over water bungalow. Nir was a wonderful resource and helped us book lots of activities. It was so fun being picked up by an outrigger right from our deck.

We had a fantastic stay at the bungalows! Our group of seven rented both two-bedroom units and found them to be spacious and comfortable. The location offers a relaxed, local vibe while still being conveniently close to town. A rental car is definitely recommended—and can be arranged if needed.We spent a lot of time enjoying the patio and swim area, where we saw an abundance of sea life. The double kayaks were a great bonus and added to the experience.Nir and his wife were incredibly helpful and always quick to respond, and the owner, Richard, was also very easy to communicate with.For anyone interested in diving, we highly recommend booking a dive with Hiro, located just down the road. Overall, a wonderful stay and we'd gladly return!

What a great spot this place was! Lots of sea life and a short ride to the grocery store, etc. The property manager is very helpful and friendly. The snorkeling is fantastic, and along with multiple types of reef fish, we saw octopus, rays, reef sharks (on an excursion), eels, and jelly fish. We will definitely be back!

Little Slice of Heaven

Both the owner and onsight manager (Nir) were extremely helpful. The car provided by Nir is a must and made grocery shopping and exploration of the island so easy. Loved having a full kitchen at this extremely clean property. Sunsets so lovely and jumping into the water to cool off divine - lots of sea life. Tis a little slice of heaven.

Wondrous dream come true. I want to be there again!

Beautiful bungalow, Nir was great, Bora Bora a world of greens and blues and floating in the ether with dreams of friendly dogs on the roadsides, roosters to keep our timing and waves to paddle on. Mauruuru.............

The paradise you're after

Wonderful location and loved our nightly sunsets and continuous countless schools of colorful fish! During our stay we saw 11 sea turtles swim by, an octopus in the shallows, a purple/yellow nudibranch on a piling, a dozen eagle rays swam right by our porch, so much life all around! The property manager Nir was very helpful answering questions and arranging activities as needed. The bungalow was very comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. We absolutely loved our experience here!

Paradise in Bora Bora

A beautiful large and airy bungalow with a well equipped kitchen. The veranda was nicely furnished and easily hosted our evening cocktails hours watching the sunset. Nir, the manager was a pleasure to deal with. He was easily accessed. The bungalow was equipped with a cellphone which afforded direct access to Nir for any question, as well as local calls to book outings.
