Guest Houses in Avatoru

The beach and island is fantastic. Very pecefully and very wild nature. Very friendly stuff.

A trip to French Polynesia, specifically to Rangiroa, was the trip of a lifetime for me. I had studied and researched it dozens of times before departure. I found this property on Google Maps, though information was scarce. I chose it primarily for its location - close to the ocean and not far from Tiputa Pass. I found paradise. And I wasn't expecting it. Paradise is, first and foremost, the family that hosted me: Christian and his wife. Two exceptional people - kind, welcoming, but never intrusive. They opened recently and are pouring all their energy and savings into growing this property. Currently 5 rooms right on the lagoon, with a private beach adjacent to the famous Kia Ora hotel. See my attached photos. Please note: the room is simple, Polynesian-style. If you want five-star luxury, this is NOT the place for you. But it has everything you need and more - air conditioning (extremely rare in lodges), microwave, fresh drinking water, refrigerator, etc. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom simple but functional with hot water available 24/7. With only 5 rooms, it's likely difficult to find availability. In my opinion, write directly to Christian - I think he'll help you book. On Sundays in Rangiroa, everything is closed - supermarkets, restaurants. I didn't know this. I asked the owners for advice. Shortly after, they appeared with a tray containing a wonderful two-course lunch. I had to insist on contributing to the cost. Rangiroa is wonderful. But it's thanks to Hinamoe Lodge that it became a dream.

The host was exceptional in every way. He went an extra mile to make our stay memorable. He met us at the airport, gave us a tour of surrounding area, organized daily trips to some of the most remarkable areas on the atoll, and even gave us his personal snorkeling equipment to use. The house itself is located right on the ocean shoreline - the thunder of massive waves crushing on the reef is a constant presence. This creates a remarkable unforgettable atmosphere any other accommodation would struggle to replicate.

A wonderful facility with a fantastic manager.... I recommend it 100%.

We were staying at a new apartment and we loved the style and handmade decorations. What is really special about that place is the owner- she makes the best ambience, take care of the guests herself and goes far beyond the expectations. Also best breakfast we had during our stay in French Polinesia.

I loved the beach front location 🥰 not far from the airport, quick walking distance to a supermarket and a restaurant.

I had a wonderful week here at Vaimoe lodge! Ivan and Vaitia were always making sure that I had everything to enjoy my stay to the maximum. The rooms are beautiful, clean and spacy and you have a constant refreshing breeze coming from the ocean. You even have a direct ocean view from some of the bungalows. The local food they prepare is awesome and this side of the Tiputa pass is very natural and more calm with more locals living here and less tourists. You don't get a better package for your money in Tiputa than at Vaimoe lodge :) It's also just a short 30 min walk away from Tiputa pass where you have a cheap taxi boat every 30 min to bring you to the other side and the locals will even often ask you if you want a ride for free… You can also book all your activities directly with them like dolphin tours or diving etc… Can only recommend this place, run by a wonderful family 🤙🏽

We spent some time at tiputa lodge, which is a perfect place to relax and be away from the crowds. The quite new house is divided into the part where Henry lives and the flat, which he rents out, so one is the only guest. The apartment is beautifully furnished and is designed to perfection. We found ourselves mostly sitting outside on the terrace overlooking the lagoon. It is a nice place to snorkel and swim and I also went out on the Kajak provided. There are also deckchairs at the water. You have two bikes to explore the islands.The internet is superfast and reliant. Henry makes a great breakfast, we loved all the coconut breads, cakes and the best sweet coconut water. Also he makes very nice joghurt. At night he would pick up something from the snack for us or drive us to a small restaurant and come to pick us up to bring us back. (He did not advice to bike at night because of the dogs). We had a lovely time at Henry, we shared his passion for diving and we can recommend Tiputa lodge 100%

A beautiful location with bungalows on the lagoon well separated from each other. The family went out of their way to accomodate our stay. Every night we had home cook meals from an excellent chef. And yes there is internet 4G with a Vini number, just get yourself a Vini sim-card on arrival in Tahiti or Rangiora.
