Fare Oaoa · own screened terrace, sleeps 4

Fare Hibiscus stands apart from the row, a separate structure with a wooden partition screening it from its neighbour, so the terrace in front of it is genuinely your own. Inside: a queen bed on a memory-foam mattress, a living space with a sofa bed for two more, a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. Air conditioning, mosquito screens, wifi, a television. Single level throughout, with no step between the fare and the sand. For families, the property keeps a cot, a high chair and a baby bath, and there is a paid washing machine (detergent doses provided) in the laundry room, shared with the other fare. The part that matters with children is that none of the logistics are yours. The restaurant table, the taxi, the 4x4 tour, the whale swim in season, dinner brought to your terrace: ask in the morning and it is arranged by the afternoon. Breakfast arrives for the children too, so the first hour of the day is already handled.

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.
