I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Maison Taina. Everything was lovely and the hosts were extremely hospitable, friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. The space was immaculate and the sun rise and sun set views were breathtaking! If you're staying in Tahiti i would definitely reconsider staying here!

A Truly Warm and Welcoming Stay! From the moment we arrived (even at 2am, thanks to Valerie waiting up for us!), we felt right at home. Valerie, Laurent, and Tom made us feel like part of the family. We had good chats about local life in Polynesia. The accommodation is clean, cozy, and spacious - perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. you’ll need a car since it’s up in the hills, but the drive is easy. Every morning, Valerie spoiled us with a delicious breakfast - fresh fruit, pastries, and eggs to start the day off right. Plus, her local tips were spot-on! As first-timers in French Polynesia, we really appreciated her advice not just for Tahiti, but for the other islands too. She even helped us arrange an unforgettable snorkel tour in Moorea with Captain Taina, where we swam with stingrays, reef sharks, and turtles. A highlight of our trip so far! We can’t recommend this place enough!

Great guest house. Tucked in the hills, with a view of the ocean, flowers and roosters crowing. Owners are very nice and helpful. Let us use snorkel equipment and beach towels. They helped us with navigating the island and places to visit. Other guests were also respectful and friendly. They have a fridge and outdoor kitchen to make your own dinner. You need a rental car for here and to see the island.

Incredible stay! The hosts were beyond accommodating and gave great local recommendations (plus cooked a delicious breakfast!) This beautiful property is situated nicely up a hill above the bustle below. I'd rather stay here than at any resort. Book a rental car, stay here, and explore the incredible island!

I absolutely love this place! It's situated in the hills of Tahiti and had beautiful views of the ocean. The rooms were very large and well decorated. The family who owns and manages the property are some of the nicest people I've ever met. They were very accommodating to our requests and provided info about the places to visit on Tahiti and Moorea. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful and Warm Hospitality

Wonderful stay in the hills overlooking Papeete. Maison Taina is charming and very hospitable mostly due to the warm, welcoming nature of Valerie (the owner) and her son, Tom. Both did everything they could to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The welcomed addition of breakfast each day made for a delicious start to our Tahitian adventure

I got lucky to find this family run guest house in a quiet hill neighborhood in Arue. Laurence, Valerie and super chef son Tom were beyond hospitable and made a wonderful stay in Tahiti even more so. The personal touch was everywhere, breakfast was a treat, and the thoughtfully prepared dinner option was amazing. Five stars!!
