Don't think twice - book it now!
LOVED staying here! We were here for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved the spaciousness and comfort of the bungalow, snorkeling off the deck, watching the sunrise and sunsets, lounging on the deck. Communication was great. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Fabulous overwater stay
We loved everything about our stay, booking, communication and location. Our recommendation would be to add a blender. Wr would have brought one had the description not said there was one in the bungalow. Overall, hardly worth mentioning but if you plan on morning smoothies bring a blender. Wonderful placento celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary! Thanks Richard and Tiera you both were amazing to work with.

An amazing place!
What a spectacular bungalow. The hosts Nir and Tiare were so great and very accommodating, even picking us up from the port and allowing us to rent their vehicle (which is a must). The location was perfect and the bungalow exceeded our expectations. Getting used to the business hours in town and restaurants were a little tricky but overall everlasting memories were made and would not hesitate to return to Bora Bora and stay here again.

Amazing overwater bungalow
Truly amazing location and only one of five overwater bungalows on the main island of Bora Bora. The booking process was great with Richard and when we arrived, Nir and Tiare were available for any questions and help we needed. Stepping off the private deck into the water never got old and we had fun snorkeling around the area. The area was very quiet and peaceful, but there were a few roosters within earshot so be prepared with earplugs if that wakes you up. The kitchen had all the essentials you'd need to prepare meals which was perfect for us. We can't wait to return!

Unique location in Beautiful Bora Bora
Unique private overwater bungalow. A little more basic and isolated than expected but had a great time exploring the island.

Exactly what I was looking for
This was just what I was looking for, a place away from crowds but not isolated. It's clean and simple, not a lot of frills but has all the necessities. My stay was very enjoyable. Hope to come back someday and would definitely look to stay here again too.

What a beautiful place! We ended our honeymoon here and utterly loved the bungalow. The water and deck were perfect at every time of day. The Brando effect made it a bit more special. Highly recommend.
