A SENSE OF PLACE

Your stay here.

Experience a unique Polynesian immersion at Fare Nãhina, a traditional home located in the heart of Papeete. Here, you are welcomed into a local home, where conviviality and authenticity blend seamlessly with modern comfort. The fare features two air-conditioned private guest rooms, ideal for couples, families, or friends traveling together. Shared spaces — the living room, kitchen, and swimming pool — are accessible to all, encouraging moments of exchange and a genuine glimpse into everyday Polynesian life. The location is unbeatable: just a few minutes’ walk from Papeete’s lively market, bustling shopping streets, the ferry terminal for Moorea, and the Aranui dock to the Marquesas Islands. Everything is within walking distance: browse pearl shops, taste local specialties, or simply soak up the energy of the city center. After a day of exploration, relax by the pool and enjoy a peaceful moment in a warm, authentic setting that reflects the Polynesian way of life. Fare Nãhina is more than just accommodation — it’s a genuine encounter, where every guest is welcomed with simplicity, kindness, and a spirit of sharing.

Positive: On est chez l’habitant donc on vit avec nos hôtes charmants, qui nous conseillent et nous préparaient des petits déjeuners à la polynesienne (poisson cuits oignons, œufs, pain coco etc…) Negative: À l’arrivée les liens envoyés par la conciergerie nous envoyaient … à Moorea… on a eu bien peur et on perdu 2 heures

Positive: De ficar proximo ao terminal de cruzeiros, e do momento em que fizemos check-out Negative: A acomodação é compartilhada, e nao uma casa de hospede, eles receberam sofás novos e ficaram até as 23:00 conversando na sala, tudo nos ambientes eram de uso pessoais deles, as ruas em torno nao são convidativas e nao parecem nem um pouco seguras, algumas baratas no banheiro e por incrível que pareça tinha um rato em nosso quarto, acredito que eu entendi errado o sistema da hospedagem, mas se eu soubesse que seria assim jamais teria pago adiantado o valor que paguei para estar lá, investiria menos para pegar uma casa inteira um.pouco mais longe. Não sentimos ter privacidade pois a todo momento estavam ao nosso redor, e para finalizar é preciso ainda fazer um seguro nao informado previamente, e sobre o cafe da manhã, paguei pensando que seriam todos os dias, mas os senhorios só poderam realizar no quarto dia. Mas eles são muito amáveis

We had an enjoyable stay, although it rained quite a bit. Our hosts were very gracious in allowing us to stay in our humble abode. We wish we could have been able to see Mr. Richard dance at Heiva Festival. That would have been the icing on the cake for the ending of a two-week trip. Thanks again!!!

Positive: This is one of the best accommodations I have ever stayed in. It is a very nice place, conveniently located close to both the city centre. The hosts, Richard and his wife, are absolutely brilliant. They were extremely helpful in every aspect of our stay and even arranged taxis and rental cars for us at a reasonable price. I truly appreciate their support. If you ever visit Papeete, I highly recommend this as the place to stay. Negative: Nothing

Nous étions comme chez nous ici, merci pour l’accueil chaleureux et le partage des bonnes adresses. Habitation soigné et décoré avec goût. Maison très agréable situé près des commerces et du marché à pied, sans oublier la piscine que nos filles ont adoré. Merci pour ces moments de partage, Vaea et Richard.
