Fare Oaoa · kitchen and desk for long stays, sleeps 2

The simplest fare on the property, and the least expensive. Six rooms rather than nine, no separate living room; what it does have is everything you need to actually live here for a while. A queen bed on a memory-foam mattress, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, a desk, and a kitchen and dining table of its own so that meals happen indoors and not balanced on your knees. There is a fridge-freezer, which matters more than it sounds at three weeks in the tropics. Air conditioning, a ceiling fan, mosquito screens on the windows, wifi and a television with the lagoon behind it. Outside: a wooden deck with a lounge, a table and chairs, a hammock and a gas barbecue. Breakfast is included: every morning, for every guest, in every fare, for as long as you stay. That is the reason this is the fare to book for a long one. Nobody shops for breakfast, nobody costs it into the week, and after fourteen mornings it is a meaningful part of what you have not spent.

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.
