Fare Oaoa · the quiet end of the beach, sleeps 2

A 35 m² fare set a little further along the property, the last of the three on the beach and the furthest from the pool and the main house, where it is quieter. It sleeps two, and everything in it is for two. A queen bed on a memory-foam mattress, a bathroom with a walk-in shower and a washbasin unit, a fully equipped kitchen of its own, and a desk by the window for the morning you decide to work. Air conditioning, mosquito screens, wifi, a television. Outside: your own wooden terrace with a table, then the sand, then the lagoon. In the evening the beach and the gardens are lit low. The kayaks are the thing people remember. They are free, they live on the beach in front of you, and the lagoon here is flat and clear first thing in the morning, which is also when the dolphins tend to come through. We will show you how to handle one before you take it out, children go with a parent, and for your safety, we ask that you check in with the team before you set out: we will brief you on the weather conditions and the precautions to follow.

The grocery store is directly across the road and opens early. A smoothie stand and a pizza truck are two minutes away, and the pizza truck delivers. Every fare has its own kitchen, so cooking is easy if that is the evening you want. Kathy also cooks: international home cooking, ordered by 4pm, served at a table on the sand or brought to your fare. And there are very good restaurants a short drive away, fifteen minutes north at Hauru, which we will book for you and tell you how to find. Straight in front of the property, the Haapiti pass breaks all year and draws surfers from across the world. Dolphins are usually out in the lagoon in the morning. Tiahura beach is about fifteen minutes away by car, and humpback whales pass between August and October.

Shoes come off at the door. Smoking is outdoors only. If you are planning a wedding or a celebration, talk to us first and we will help you organise it; please do not book for an event without arranging it with us in advance. We live surrounded by nature, so you will meet some of it. One island dog lives here with us. Roosters and chickens are not ours and do not live on the property, though you will hear them now and then, as you will anywhere on Moorea. The lizard is a sacred symbol of the island, and is what its name means, so we watch them rather than chase them away. Being close to the forest, an insect finds its way in from time to time despite regular treatment. Please do not feed the animals. Please note that, due to the nature of our property and its electrical infrastructure, charging electric cars, motorcycles, or bicycles on the premises is not permitted.
