Ahitea Lodge

Frommer's Review

Tucked away on an alley between Prince Hinoi and Chef Vairaatoa avenues, about 5 blocks inland from the Moorea ferry docks, this modern, two-story house provides an oasis in the midst of a closely packed Tahitian neighborhood with the usual collection of roosters and dogs. A high fence surrounds the lush yard with an outdoor pool and a pond stocked with tropical fish. The least expensive units are in an attached building, but these all share toilets and showers, and they have small fresh-air vents instead of windows. Preferable are bedrooms in the main house, especially those upstairs that open to a balcony overlooking the pool and pond. Best of these is a corner unit with TV, fridge, private bathroom, and air-conditioning (it is the only air-conditioned unit here); it is so popular that you should reserve it several months in advance. The hosts provide a tropical breakfast in the communal kitchen each morning. Staying here will expose you to modern urban life as lived by middle- and working-class Tahitians.

Facilities:
Outdoor pool; communal kitchen
