The hosts are super friendly, they gave advise on the area and helped me book a scooter. The guesthouse is up a steep hill, so there is a great sunset view.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Located next to the central market of Papette and the ferry terminal of the city, the location of the hostel is perfect. Staff is friendly and welcoming and ready to help anytime needed. Cleaningless throughout the hostel is stunning. Affordable accomodation compared to the overrated prices you find in Tahiti. My room had lockers to keep my valuables safe, which I really apreciated. Fans located throughout the hostel helps fighting against the heat inside the hostel, as the wind hardly moves around.

    I’ve stayed here now on several occasions, it’s the best value place in town & better than some of the cheaper hotels. It’s everything you’d expect from a backpackers hostel. It’s in the best location in town opposite side of the road from the food trucks & close to the Moorea ferry terminal, bars and restaurants.

    I've stayed here now on several occasion over the years, Its the best value place in town and better than some cheap hotels. It's everything that you'd expect from a backpackers hostel. It's in the best location in town opposite the food trucks across the road, the ferry terminal to Moorea and the bars and restaurants.
