Fare D'Hote Tehuarupe Hotel

Moorea

These cabins are just beautiful! The view to the sea is amazing, you will want to be at home every day just to watch the sunset from there. All the place is super clean, the cabins are well equipped with everything you need and the decoration is amazing.
The couple running these beautiful cabins is great, super kind, they make you feel at home. 
The location is very good, close to Haapiti surf spot. Right in front of the cabins there’s an area where you can swim with rays and sharks. Is possible to rent canoes and paddle boards there. You can also go on a tour with them on their own boat, to the most famous spot in the island to see rays, sharks and turtles. The way there is also beautiful, we recommend to take the tour with them. 

Amazing cabins 

I had an excellent time staying with the lovely people in haapiti at Tehuarupe hotel in August. 
The vibe is wonderful, the spaces clean and elegant and a great value. I needed some help at one point and it was as though I was staying with family. I highly recommend this space. free bikes and kayaks, view is unbeatable!

real tahitian spirit

I spent 7 days, last week of July, at the Fare Teruahupe at Haapiti on Moorea and it was truly great. It is on the really quiet side of Moorea only 20 minutes drive from the ferry terminal. Elda and her husband were really nice and I felt welcome immediately. Elda brought me a bottle of water and there was a bottle of wine for me in the fridge also. She enquired if I needed anything and gave me tips about local snacks or places to go. 
There are two pairs of pretty bungalows; one is literally by the pool but mine was just 10 meters away so they are all identical. The infinite pool looking over the lagoon is really sweet especially to contemplate the sunsets or just read a book quietly in the late afternoon.
	There are two local grocery shops at a 4 minutes walk in each direction so you can buy really basic things. There are bikes to borrow if you want to use them but my favorite was just taking the canoes and going snorkeling by the reef in the lagoon just facing the Fare across the road. There is a true big supermarket near the Ferry terminal if you need to buy more things.
	Room is large and confortable with a bar/kitchenette with all the necessary appliances to cook (there is even a microwave) although you have food trucks near by at night and a couple of tahitian snacks that serve simple good local fish. One large bed and one couch that can be used as a second bed so I would guess you could squeeze in 4 people. Clean bathroom. Nice balcony with a view of the lagoon and a table to chill there too. Mosquitoes are not a big concern at this time of the year and the weather was good with one day of rain (the last day). No need for alarm clocks the local poultry will take care of that for you.
	If you want to relax far from the chaos of “civilized life” this is the place where to go. Moorea is really small so from there it is easy to go around the island for hiking or snorkeling at other beaches like Temae or Les Tipaniers. I recommend renting a car of course. It was perfect and really relaxing and quiet. Exactly what I needed.
I will come back.
 Thanks Elda.

Bon je l’écris aussi en français parce que après tout c’est la Polynésie Française. J’ai passé un séjour très relaxant au calme avec amplement assez de temps pour explorer Moorea. Plein de ballades à faire a partir de Belvédère d’Oponohu. Moorea n’est qu’à 30 minutes de bateau de Papeete alors on peut faire la navette assez facilement mais si c’est le calme que vous recherchez alors c’est le spot idéal. Je recommande de louer une voiture. Bungalow confortable avec cuisine et frigo et belle vue sur le lagon depuis la terrasse. Deux petites épiceries très couleur locale a moins de 400 mètres dans chaque direction donc on peut s’acheter des produits de base et il y a un supermarché près de Vaiare (Ferry) à 15 minutes en voiture. Il y a des velos et des kayaks a emprunter pour aller sur le lagon (ca c est super) et une belle piscine pour profiter du coucher de soleil sur le lagon. De cote de l’ile on ne voit pas Tahiti.
Voilà des vacances reposantes a gouter la douceur de vivre polynesienne.
Je reviendrai.
Maururu Elda et nana !

Excellent place to stay and relax on Moorea. Quiet and confortable!

Rather isolated for a solo person, but bikes available. Long way to nearest restaurants. Very basic food shops one kilometre away. Lovely view of coast from above on hill. Big room. CNN available on TV. No beach, but water access. Could hear everything in adjoining room.

Solo

We're posting this late, as time has gotten away from us! However, we have NOT  forgotten how incredible this trip was. This was our first time visiting Tahiti/Moorea and we didn't have a clue as to where to stay. My husband wanted a good surf break and I wanted a beautiful beach with clear water. We didn't want the touristy, expensive, resort experience. We were looking for something more remote. That being said, we booked a car rental, our first 2 nights at Fare D'Hote Tehuarupe Hotel, and the remainder of our trip at a place near the Sofitel beach (supposedly the best beach on the island?-not to us). As it turns out, we did not want to leave Fare D'Hote Tehuarupe. We hesitantly checked out and ventured to our next spot-immediately upon our arrival we knew it was not the place for us. The location, as well as the accommodations (and extremely rude owner) were not at all what had been portrayed online. We decided to lose the money on our booking there and return to Tehuarupe Hotel. To us, this was a 'once in a lifetime" trip and although, we couldn't afford to lose the money, the experience, what suited us, and our memories, were far more important! That being said- we returned to Tehuarupe Hotel and stayed the rest of our trip (thankfully they still had our bungalow available:). We were so happy to return and wished we could have stayed permanently! The owners, Elda and Charlie, were so sweet and accommodating...and we loved their weiner dogs. It felt very comfortable and homey to us...The bungalows were beautiful, clean and with kitchens-which came in handy and allowed us to shop at the market and make our own meals. The access to the ocean is a short walk across the road-which didn't bother us in the least. We used the kayaks every day to cruise around and snorkel, fish, and paddle out to the surf break. I can't say enough positive things about our experience there...Tahiti had been a long-time dream of ours and we won't forget it. Now we just need to figure out how we can go back!

Incredible!

Likes: big room, nice view, and the bikes were in better condition than other hotels.

Dislikes: Owner was rude, we could here the traffic passing all night, owners 6 dogs seemed to be roaming freely round the area, no wifi in room only near pool side, tv didn't work, and super HOT no a/c only one fan opening the windows and sleeping half naked didn't help how horribly hot it was in the room.

The reason why I said that the owner was rude is because she kept trying to get us to book events thru her when we repeatedly told her that we already had plans she seemed very annoyed with that. Also, she basically locked my husband out of the gate knowing he left to go to the store fortunately for him I heard him tooting the bike horn and had to ask her to open the gate (we didn't know there was a curfew at 8pm). Last thing that really got me upset, during our check out at 10am it started to rain hard I asked the owner if we could check out a little later since we had rented a scooter and she instantly said NO even though the place was completely empty. My husband had to drive back and forth to our next hotel (Linavera Resort much better place) with all of our luggage in the rain. Even 20 minutes would have helped. I hate to make racist remarks but I felt she had an issue with me being Hawaiian/Black and my husband being White/Caucasian but I'm no judge you decide.
