My family and I enjoyed our stay at Tiare Taparo, it is in a good location, it is very weĺl stocked with linen, towels etc. The only thing I was a tad annoyed about is that there was no Pool table as stated in the list of amenities, but all in all a great place to stay.

Family friendly, exactly as pictures, if not, better! Would recommend Eddies place and stay again. The only con is that it’s not in the best location, but if you hire a car it’s not a problem.

Perfect location

Awesome spot for a family stay. Close enough to head to town most mornings and then head down to the lagoon on the other side in the afternoons. Private gardens, nice and quiet location. Perfect place for kids.

Eddie has been a great host. The house was in great condition, we even had masks and reef shoes available. The house is located half way between town and Muri so very central. I would go back.

We loved our stay at Tiare Taporo. It was nice and clean. Fabulous wee cafe 2 doors down. Super Brown within a km walk. Beautiful garden. The only downside was proximity to the beach but as we had a rental car this didn't worry us. Eddie was a friendly host who quickly responded to all questions.
