Perfect quality for the price you pay. Very friendly owners which are always available for questions and help but always on the backgrounds, respecting your privacy. They keep attention to the small details e.g. lighting the mosquito coil in the bathroom even before you'll be awake. The kitchen and eating area is shared with the other fare guests, and the...

We've been in contact with Kim prior to our visit, which was already very pleasant. And it only got better when we stayed at Au Motu Mahare! Kim, Daisy and Walter are very nice, friendly and helpful people, they make your stay excellent! You have to cook yourself and make your one coconutmilk (with the help of Walter) but we... More

If you don't like big resorts and prefer self-catering, Motu Mahare is a place for you. We spent there 5 nights and it was not too long. We took a car for one day to drive around the main island and one day we used for a boat trip. Rest of the time we spent for snorkelling and kayaking around... More

This is a special place! The setting of the whole pension is based on natural and basic elements ‎and still everything is well organized/thought and very clean! We arrived in the evening and ‎when we entered the bungalow we were impressed by the cozy room with warm light and ‎flowers decoration, very romantic! Note that the private bathroom is located...

My husband and I spent 2 nights at Au Motu Mahare. Mosquitoes were definitely out in full force although we had no problems at all in Bora Bora and Moorea. We sprayed often with Max Deet, which is really yucky, but completely necessary. I would highly recommend planning your meals ahead of time. When Kim dropped us off at the... More

My fiance and I stayed here in Feb/March 2012 and it was fabulous. Upon first arriving I almost cried at how beautiful it was there. Tips: -Bring a small portable battery operated fan for the bedroom. -Don't forget lots of sunscreen, bodywash (for getting all that sunscreen off) and bugspray. We used picaridin and a deet one and they worked... More

I can only underline the comments of the previous review. Simply put if you want an affordable slice of paradise in an exquisite setting with hosts who really make you feel like welcome guests, this is the place. If you want to be entertained and pampered this is not the place for you. Every paradise does have it's mosquito but... More

Although our Air Tahiti flight was significantly delayed, our amazing hosts, Kim, Walter and their cute little daughter Daisy met us on arrival and took us by boat over to the motu. The short boatride was illuminated by the Milky Way and a myriad of southern hemisphere stars accounting for an unforgettable arrival. The following morning we were formally welcomed... More

You are greeted with a chilled coconut and fresh flowers in you room. You will enjoy clear water with an abundance of sea life and... More
