Fare Arana Mooréa Guesthouse

I highly recommend this guesthouse. The food is truly excellent, and the owners' kindness was truly appreciated. The owner is truly attentive to every detail. Our room boasted a beautiful terrace overlooking the sea. Renting a car is a must, as it's a bit out of the way without it.

A very pleasant guesthouse. Ideally located with a breathtaking sea view. The guesthouse is nestled in a lush garden. A swimming pool completes the picture. We had a wonderful stay. The owners are extremely kind and always have time to chat with their guests.

A 20-minute drive from the Moorea ferry terminal, the "Fare Arana" guesthouse is located at PK19.5 on the mountain side of Atiha Bay, where we spent three nights as a family. The guesthouse was taken over a year and a half ago by Nelly and François, and extensive renovations have been carried out, with everything being completely refurbished (common areas, bungalows, furnishings, and the pool). The cleanliness of the common areas and bungalows is simply excellent. Nelly and François are passionate about Polynesia and offer a warm welcome, providing all the information you need. With their helpful advice and attentive service, Nelly and François will pamper you. The guesthouse offers three comfortable, air-conditioned bungalows for 5-7 people, each 50m², with a TV lounge (for residents, remember to bring your satellite card if you have a premium subscription), a bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen (rice cooker, oven, stove, microwave, kettle, filter coffee maker, dishes, refrigerator), and a mezzanine bedroom. Linens are provided. Each bungalow boasts a large, inviting terrace overlooking Atiha Bay. Importantly, you'll sleep soundly: the bedding is new, and the air conditioning keeps you cool. In terms of amenities and services, the guesthouse offers everything you could want and more: internet access (WiFi in common areas), a saltwater pool, snacks, poolside or takeaway meals, kayaks, foosball, bicycles, pétanque, and darts. Our family tested the brand new 4x4 that the guesthouse recently acquired for a tour of the heart of Moorea with François at the wheel. An authentic and personalized tour, far from mass tourism; it's a must-do! We were thrilled with our stay and we'll be back!

We had a lovely stay and a great time. The place is clean, and François and his wife are super friendly. They're not pushy or intrusive. François will happily share his favorite spots on Moorea with you. The location is pretty good, but it's best to have a car or scooter (20 minutes from the dock, 30 minutes if you're on a scooter). The location is really nice, and the view is breathtaking. And I recommend trying Nelly's homemade ice cream! 😋

We had a wonderful stay at Fare Arana. Francois and Nelly gave us a warm welcome. The bungalows are immaculate with large terraces and are beautifully decorated. It was a fantastic family holiday; the children were able to enjoy the pool even in the evenings. Thank you, Francois and Nelly, and we hope to see you again very soon!

A warm welcome from Nelly and François. Delicious meals prepared by Nelly (her homemade jams and ice cream are to die for!). A special mention to François and his absolutely fantastic 4x4 safari. He provides lots of details without being overwhelming...and the views are breathtaking. THANK YOU for your kindness :-) We highly recommend this place. Carole and Celia
