He greeted us at the airport with fresh flowers and helped us with the rental car agent. Then we followed him in the dark to the bungalow. We arrived and met Lydia. The refrigerator was stocked with fresh fruit, juice, milk, wine and a heart-shaped chocolate brownie. WOW. We were so relieved. Both were go genuine and warm and we felt very welcome. They gave us great tips on sights to see on Tahiti, and suggested that we drive onto a ferry and see Moorea which was incredible. The bungalow was so comfortable that we spent some days just relaxing and taking in the view. We cannot recommend this wonderful retreat enough. It was an experience of a lifetime and we WILL be back. Lydia and Emmanuel were the perfect hosts, and the bungalow was perfect as well.

Jul 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing villa and views The Hosts are more than accommodating. We came in a day early and they were wonderful in helping us have a place to rest while the villa was cleaned. The villa is charming and has everything you need. There are Binoculars provided which is amazing as there is so much to see from the deck. The view is incredible. Make sure you see the stars! Make sure to rent a car! Side note- I am not a cold person but found it quite chilly outside on the deck in the morning and evenings. I would pack sweats if you get cold easily. We liked Beach Burger in Papara for an easy meal. We liked the Grocery Store LX Proxi Paea and the pharmacy next door. If you drive into Papeete park at the ferry terminal parking. Parking is kinda scary and we found this easiest. Get a ticket from the machine and park. Then before you leave, there are payment kiosks under the stairs on the outside of the Ferry Terminal to pay. The market is across the street. Take some travel Kleenex and hand sanitizer when you get out and about. Most bathrooms don’t have toilet paper and very few have soap. ![Sunset from the deck. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f3006329-8c0c-4d46-b003-e93f40458616-1751644088469.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Not sure if this will show up, the starts from the deck. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0e82ac6b-5c6e-4fe0-8580-44161e45de44-1751644127980.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer M.

It is so quiet you can hear the surf hit the breakers, even though you are way up the mountain. You can see for miles. It is a secluded, quiet place perfect for relaxing on the deck or swimming in the heated pool. Beautiful scenery going up and down the mountain also. Very secure area. Beds were comfy and there were plenty of towels, almost instant hot water, well stocked kitchen, and plenty of dishes. The best thing next to the view and the quiet was the hosts! They met us at the airport and guided us to the villa, even though we didn't arrive until almost 11pm. They went through the villa and explained the AC and the fancy shower controls. They were available to answer questions and offer advise about the villa as well as the island. They provided a welcome package as well as fruit from their yard several times. We have stayed many places around the world and Lydia & Emmanuel are by far the best hosts we have ever had! ##### Ja K.

In addition, Emmanuel helped with arranging a rental car, picked us up at our ship, took us to the rental agency and led to his residence. Downside, it is too far from our home to visit more often.

Lydia and Emmanuel fully stocked the fridge, offered to pick us up from the airport, prepared drinks/champagne/wine and fruits for us and showed us around their amazing villa. No one wanted to leave the house during our stay. We rather made our own food and fully enjoy the villa than eating out. You will not regret booking this place for your next vacation.

Place has charm, owners have charm, views have charm - everything does! I won't give away some of the surprises except to say the owners are generous with their time and hospitality and made everything suuuuuper easy. One note - the drive up and down is a bit hairy, especially if you're not 100% used to a manual! It's about 10 minutes up a steep winding road. It's manageable, just be prepared. ##### Ross N.

We had amazing experience staying at this magical bungalow. Emmanuel and Lydia are extremely kind, welcoming and helpful. We have received lei flower garlands the moment we stepped out from the immigration and were whisked from the airport by Emmanuel directly to the property. House is stocked with home made yogurt, jams, drinks, fresh coconut and Lydia even prepared a cake for us ❤️. Bungalow has incredible view of the lagoon around the island of Tahiti and is completely private and secluded. Sunsets are to die for. Hosts remained helpful throughout our stay with tips as where to eat, where to park and what to see. Emanuel even went to Hertz to help with my rental car reservation. We were in French Polynesia for 2 weeks but this was the best part of our trip. I hope to visit them again and remain friends with them. Thank you for everything!!! /Dominik ##### Dominik S.

A big part of the reason we enjoyed our vacation so much was due to Lydia and Emmanuel. Honestly, I feel like we have made new friends for life! They are indeed SUPERHOSTS!! The house is exactly as described (it is absolutely fantastic). Everything worked perfectly. The A/C in the bedrooms was wonderful, the internet was fast, the TVs had Netflix, and the pool was refreshing. We are already planning a return trip! If you see this property available, you should jump on it as fast as you can before it disappears. You will not regret booking it! Thank you, Lydia and Emmanuel!!! We miss you already and say hello to Si Si!! :-) ##### Angela S. Stayed 15 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Toni S.

The hosts were simply amazing, kind, and loved sharing information, food and information about the local area. It is really hard for us to 'see' exactly what a place will be like online. This was a place even BETTER than we could have hoped for. Thank you so very much for everything .... we hope to be back! ##### Toni S. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy C.

If you look at the photos of this mountain top villa, you will see the extraordinary setting. The pictures do not lie. It is every bit as stunning as the ad implies. Lydia and Emmanuel are outstanding hosts and do everything and more to ensure your stay is enjoyable. They stock the kitchen both smartly and deliciously with homemade baked goods and grocery items and then, after that they stop by with produce taken right from their garden. We had fresh, pumpkin, coconut, and bananas. The kitchen is fully functional with stove, oven, refrigerator and dishwasher. Dining is on the patio outside. Bedrooms are decorated with Tahitian fabrics and the air-conditioning works great. As an example of the hospitality, I wanted a ukulele lesson while in Papeete. Emmanuel not only identified an excellent teacher, but brought me to the lesson when the teacher could not make it to the house. He picked us up at the airport, and Lydia drove us to the cruise port terminal. we could not have expected anything more from them and as VRBO hosts go they are six out of five stars! ##### Kathy C.

Great location, wonderful views, and excellent hosts who care very much about making the stay in Tahiti a fabulous experience. I can't wait to come back! ##### Jake Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim J.

We had stayed on the island of Moorea the week before our stay with Emmanuel and Lydia. Emmanuel picked us up at the ferry terminal and greeted us with fresh flower leis to welcome us to Tahiti. He also was kind enough to take us to the airport when the fairytale vacation had to end. When we arrived at the property, they had stocked the refrigerator with drinks, fresh fruit, breakfast items and superb pastries. We were able to settle in and relax without rushing to the market on the first day. We had been a week without laundry services, so I attempted to purchase laundry soap on the way to the house. Emmanuel was insistent that we did not need it, as the house was fully stocked with everything we would need. And he was right, the house was fully stocked with everything we would need. The view from this property of the coastline and the island of Moorea is stunning. The sunsets are breathtaking, and the waves breaking on the reef is relaxing. The home is secluded and peaceful, the pool was refreshing and clean. Emmanuel and Lydia were attentive to our needs and never intrusive. Lydia brought us a home backed apple pie and chocolate cake one night for dessert after our dinner. It was heavenly! This was the best experience that we have ever had at a VRBO property. Or any other property for that matter. Emmanuel and Lydia are two if the most genuinely kind people that we have ever met. Their thoughtfulness and their efforts on our behalf made our stay unforgettable. Scott and Kim ##### Kim J.
