Holiday Rentals in Avatoru

Where to start.. Elaine was a wonderful host, helping us with great, practical ideas. Arranged our car rental and the boat trip to the blue lagoon/aquarium. Booked us a table for the Polynesian music/dans dinner. Suggested us to visit the Gauguin pearl farm, at 14.00 they have a presentation about how the pearls are made. Very interesting, and unique. Don’t miss it when on Rangiroa. Also suggested us to book a wine tasting at the Cave of Tahiti. Very nice experience, tasty wines. The only wines in the world growing on coral ground, therefore mineral notes in the wines. Elaine was always very quick with responses and super helpful. And the house. It is just perfect. New, clean, has everything you need for your stay. It’s one of those places, where it feels like that your best friend just gave you the key of her ocean front holiday home and she just left. All the basics were there, salt pepper, oil, coffee, tea. Shop next door. We loved it. The ocean is just in front of the house, there’s stones so wear sturdy water shoes but there’s an amazing coral garden underneath, full of fishes. Don’t forget to bring your snorkel gear! We had dinner at the Kia Ora hotel, it was tasty. Visited the Miki Miki bar, goods drinks, great view on the bay. Most of our dinners we had at the nearby Chez Auguste et Antoinette. The grilled fishes and the Chinese dishes were all very tasty, local and affordable. All and all a perfect stay! 100% recommended! Thank you, Elaine for making our stay on Rangiroa magical! 🥰

Sophie (owner of the lodge who also runs it) was very helpful and an amazing host, nothing was a hassle for her. She organised for us last minute an amazing tour, which everyone else seemed to say no to. It was the best tour we’ve been on in a long time! Dinner is on a long table which makes it a nice family style. There are bikes for guests to use and paddle/kayaks all complimentary which was very nice. The beach in front of the lodge is small and we had it all to ourselves (everyone was out on excursions) which made it feel like we were in our own private little area. Thank you for the experience you have created for us!

The beach and island is fantastic. Very pecefully and very wild nature. Very friendly stuff.

Great location, close to the airport. Host picked us up and dropped us at the airport. Flexible check out.

Hinano is a fantastic host. she is extremely friendly and has the best service. She showed us around and let’s us in on some traditional cooking (poison cru), opening coconuts, et cetera.

On the ocean side which brings ocean breeze! Relief from heat and mosquitoes! Beautiful view, relaxing. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped bungalows. Great coffee! Walking distance to shops and restaurants and takeaways. Bring a torch for walking back at night. 2 minutes walk to the lagoon. Bikes for hire close by but Pierre and Motire are happy to help out transport wise if you need a lift somewhere or want to go further afield. They were great hosts. Their place is close to the Tiputa diving pass, where you can also watch dolphins jumping. Sunrise on the ocean side and incredible sunsets on the lagoon side. And don’t forget to look up at the stars. Incredible. I can highly recommend this place.

This place is beautiful, very comfortable and extremely well located. I was in both of the high-end hotels on Rangiroa during my stay, and I felt that Rangiroa Cottage was just as nice. If you prefer the independence of staying in a home, then this is a far superior option. On top of that, it is much cheaper.

The location was great , really enjoyed the little lagoon in front. I loved my own verandah overlooking the grounds and ocean . The bed was comfortable and I had my own bathroom. The other guests where all very helpful and we enjoyed some drinks in the evening after diving. There is a pretty good market about 500 metres down the road and it’s about a 25-30’ walk to the airport.

This is really a small home with everything you might want including a nice kitchen, a washing machine, and compared to many places, quiet! You are within a 5 minute walk to 2 beaches (one inside the lagoon with some snorkeling and one on the ocean side, and both Top Dive and Yaka diving centers. You are within a 12 minute bike ride of the pier, restaurants, stores, and 6 Passenger dive center. Free airport pickup. Oh, and the best part is the hosts are absolutely wonderful and caring!
