An absolutely incredible stay in Tahiti! We could not have asked for a more stunning view and hospitable hosts. Truly a fantastic experience from start to finish. Lydia and Emmanuel went above and beyond to make us feel at home and provided so many lovely local touches. The cottage is perfect and they provide everything we could possibly need for water activities. The drive up the mountain is 100% worth it as the views from the top (and along the way) are unmatched. The only negative is that we weren't able to stay to enjoy it longer. 10 out of 10 experience! Absolutely recommend staying with Lydia and Emmanuel.

Absolutely one of the best places we’ve stayed in in all our years of travel (and that’s a lot of years—we’re OLD ). Communication was excellent from the moment we booked ‘til AFTER we left and Emmanuel and Lydia ensured we got from the airport to return our rental to the ferry for our next venture. The greeting from the airport, including welcome gifts, their stocked refrigerator, their checking in on us, and their farewell all made us feel as if we had been friends for years. the house is immaculate, private, and exceptionally comfortable. Being up in the mountain meant it was cooler (never needed ac) and the view was incomparable. if we ever make it back to French Polynesia, this is where we’ll stay!!

This was our second time staying here, and it was just as amazing as the first! The hospitality is truly outstanding. Emanuel greeted us at the airport and helped us get our car, which made everything so easy right from the start. Lydia welcomed us when we arrived at the home and made us feel right at home.The house had everything we needed and more—the fridge was thoughtfully stocked with eggs, bacon, fruit, and other essentials, which we really appreciated. The pool was perfect for cooling down, and we spent a lot of time enjoying it. The views are absolutely beautiful and made our stay even more relaxing.Great place, great people—we will definitely be back again!

This was one of the best vacation weeks of our lives! 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!

Tahitian Paradise Retreat

This location is simply fantastic. The hosts were gracious and provided so many perks (from a stocked fridge to fresh baked goods). The accommodation had all the amenities you will need. It is at the top of a steep and long hill so the pool is a nice respite on hotter days. The views are amazing; the property has bananas and coconuts and an outdoor shower. Very quiet. It is a wonderful place to get away from it all. Highly recommend.

They also had the refrigerator stocked with necessary essentials for breakfast the following morning. ( we arrived at 9 pm). There was fresh fruit , a home baked cake, bacon , eggs, juice, milk etc. The property is very private, with a fabulous view. If we return to Tahiti we will absolutely stay here again.

Owners are awesome / property pics/description correct

Couldn't be happier with our stay. 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.

The BEST!

It was absolutely Fabulous. The accommodation was wonderful with a fully stocked kitchen. Including a homemade cake, fresh fruit, beer/wine, yogurt etc. We do a lot of travelling and have NEVER experienced anything close. 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. Thanks Emmanuel and Lydia.

We stayed at this amazing villa for our recent Dec 2024 family trip. Everything was beyond expectation…definitely one of the top 3 best lodgings we ever stayed in the past 20 years. The property was private, the view was stunning and the host hospitality was welcoming and personable! 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. Thank you Lydia and Emmanuel for an unforgettable vacation stay!

Million dollar view

This villa was the most wonderful views of the ocean. 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!

Amazing!

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

Can’t wait to return

From the moment we booked the villa with Emmanuel and Lydia, it was clear that this was going to be a fantastic experience. They were warm, welcoming, and responsive. First, we met with them over FaceTime for a virtual meet and greet, and a live tour of the rental. Upon arrival to the villa, we were showered with a sense of belonging. Our hosts provided us with essential grocery goods and goodies in the fridge, and invited us to enjoy breakfast with them. Throughout our stay, our hosts were open to any questions, and treated us with local fresh cut fruits, baked goods, and cultural enlightenment. The villa of Emmanuel and Lydia is indeed a wonderful place, and they are incredibly kind and generous people with an innate ability to ensure their guests feel at home. Our family is beyond thankful for the remarkable comfort, fun in the pool, travel guidance, and human connection that Emmanuel and Lydia offer. La Orana!

From the minute we arrived late evening to the hour we departed 5 days later, our hosts, Lydia an Emmanuel, were amazing. 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. Karen and Larry January 20-25, 2024
