As a matter of fact there has been a leak in the exterior water distribution system on the road just outside my house. It has been fixed and covered with soil but the soil mat still have been wet. I spoke to the housekeeper and she said the dryer worked for her after you left, but she will trouble shoot and let me know. I am sorry if you were inconvenienced.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Ta'ura. The host, Eleonora, communicated well beforehand. She explained how to check in, and she gave us suggestions of things to do and places to go on Mo'orea. Jenny came to check us in as soon as we arrived at the property.The cabin exceeded our expectations. The bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. And the VIEW . . . The view from the deck was nothing short of amazing!

I was so impressed with this place, and it was the perfect home base for my week in Moorea. Photos don't do the view justice. It was more impressive than I imagined. Everything about the placed is considered, and it is stocked with everything you will need and located near stores for any supplies you might want. It is also near a number of excellent restaurants, and the host provides a helpful guide for where to go and what to eat, do, and see. I expect to request to stay at this exact place when I return to Moorea in the future. I thank the host for making it an excellent experience.

We had a great stay at Villa Tu’ara! The villa exceeded our expectations—it’s even more beautiful in person. The view was amazing! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and we were pleasantly surprised to find tennis racquets and pool noodles available for use. We had such a great time and would absolutely return to this villa in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Ta’ura. Perched up in the hills a bit from the road we had lovely lagoon and jungle views. No noise from the road below, it’s very quiet and peaceful here.The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and more of you wish. Small issue with an appliance was resolved quickly. The location is perfect for most activities and only a few minutes away from the Coco Beach pickup. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Perfect location on Moorea, close to activities, dining, shopping. Far from ferry so a car is needed, plus the unit is high on the hillside and you wouldn’t want to have to walk the steep road.Amazing views! Everything you need: full modern kitchen, cards, books, laundry, great shower, pool, gym.We had lots of geckos visiting and a cat would come by each morning.The whole unit opens up for fresh air and views of the mountains and lagoon.

Thank you for your review. I am glad you enjoyed Moorea and my place. The cat is the neighbor’s, he must have liked you because he does not often come around. Geckos are attracted to fruit if it left out of the fridge but they also eat bugs which is a good thing. Have a safe trip home Eleonora
