Island Home

"Fabrice was an awesome host and staying at the house felt very authentic. As for all of Raiatea, it is important to know that you should rent a car as otherwise you would not be able to really enjoy the island. Since the house does not have walls or air conditioning, of course, there are mosquitoes and it can get very hot during the day. But this is clearly laid out in the description of the accommodation and I would consider this being part of the experience. There are multiple fans in the house. Make sure to bring and put insect repellent."

"The army of roosters in the neighborhood holding their nightly crowing competition from 1 am to 5 am :-) Earplugs or noise canceling headphones are highly recommended."

"Island home is a fantastic quirky and well thought out home. It's the perfect place to settle for a few days and get equainted with Polynesian life! There is a Canoe to take out to a motu. Fabrice let us through the place he is staying to go snorkelling, just across the road from Island Home. Fabrice was a responsive, helpful and friendly host who ensured we had a great time. The home has all the facilities to cook but also bikes to use to get to local restaurant/snacks. Fish & Blue is a lovely restaurant in walking distance. Island Home is the perfect place to disconnect, relax and enjoy."

"You need to be comfortable with a few friendly visitors like geckos and you will need some insect repellent to use. However, Fabrice did provide some of this too. It is fully open plan with no walls or doors so if you're not comfortable with that be aware. We loved it though!"

"The pictures of this house do not do it justice, the actual house is amazing - We loved the feel and the architecture. The gardens were beautiful. The bathroom and kitchen area is authentic, comfortable and really adorable;- according to my wife. Fabrice- the owner went above and beyond to look after us."

"Could have done without mosquitoes, just make sure you bring insect repellent but theres no helping this."

"Fabrice was an amazing host. He was there quickly if we had a question, and very friendly. The home is unique and well equipped Felt like home! Beautifully decorated and supplied. Kayak was great.access to water pretty close by."

"If only it were on the sea side! But it is very close to access and easy to get to Miri Miri motu."

"Logement très atypique, un petit havre de paix, jardin tout en vert très bien entretenu. La salle de bain a l’extérieur est un + surtout avec les fortes chaleurs. Fabrice est un hôte très sympathique et donne beaucoup de conseil pour un très bon séjour sur Raiatea."

"Pour nous petit inconfort sur les chambres toutes ouvertes, nous avons quand même voulu essayer. C’est quand même une expérience à faire Prévoir boule quies et masque de nuit"

"Fabrice est très accueillant et sa maison offre une vraie expérience. Petit plus pour la possibilité d'emprunter un kayak et d'aller sur le motu en face. C'était top."

"Prenez des boules quies car la route est assez proche"

"Maison superbe, les canoës nous ont permis d’aller et venir a tous moments vers le motu d’en face. Fabrice est très sympa et sera répondre a toutes vos questions pour d'éventuelles sorties où conseils."

"Aucun."

"Une maison ouverte sur le jardin...un joli petit coin de paradis. La maison et la déco sont juste au top. Très bon accueil de notre gîte qui nous a bien guide pour la découverte de l île"

"Rien"

"Le confort et la déco de la maison Le jardin La possibilité d avoir des vélos et d aller au motu, se baigner, en kayak Les moustiquaires sur les lits La communication avec notre hôte"

"Beaucoup de moustiques dans la maison L éloignement de la ville et des commerces qui impose la location d une voiture ou d un scooter. Peut être faudrait il un four ou un micro onde dans la cuisine"

"Excellent séjour Maison ouverte conceptuelle Je recommande +++ Je ne décris pas trop pour laisser la surprise Petit bonus, Fabrice peut vous prêter 1 voir 2 kayak pour des sorties en mer snorkelling"

"À noter que les coqs et les voitures sont très présents sur le plan sonore ce qui peut perturber le sommeil"
