Coconut Grove
Island: Raiatea
From SV Cinnabar Coconut Grove - This is probably the easiest and most cost effective option if you don't want to rent a car. Very nice and comfy, easy walking distance to carenage. So-called because you walk through a coconut grove to get to the house. Owner Allyson is very helpful and speaks perfect English. (Her husband is from the US.) π www.airbnb.co.nz/rooms/7795365
Cozy Bungalows
Island: Raiatea
From SV Cinnabar Cozy Bungalow - This was our preferred rental but you need a car because it's closer to the town of Uturoa. Owners Casey and Jean-Marc own the sports store in town and are a wealth of info. π www.airbnb.co.nz/rooms/14475649

When hauled out at either of the Carenages in Raiatea, there is an amazing 3-room bungalow about a 10 minute walk away. I didnt find it until after I splashed, but it would have made haulout sooo much nicer. The cost is about $100 USD/day. It is a beautiful little property with a pool and a dock, and they even have a rental car available (lowest cost I've found on island) should you want to supply/explore/dine out. They also have a single rental came with a good price. They are lovely, so is their place!

5-2020 Also recommended by Kit Griffin SV Mary Ann - Stayed there 3 weeks while recovering from a broken wrist Laurence has a lovely Polynesia home on the lagoon just south of Marina Taina. She has a dingy dock easily accessible from the marina area or it's an easy 10 minute walk. The area is walled with an electric gate. The bedroom is air conditioned. You have full access to her kitchen and she provides the ingredients for a do-it-yourself breakfast. She is a very kind and generous hostess who speaks French and English. There is a pool, several friendly dogs, a cat and sitting in the garden you get a lovely view of Moorea. The Papeete bus stops near her place. She can also be booked via Air B&B.

Within walking distance of Papeete and convenient for the local boat yard if you are having a haul out. It has all the basic amenities you could wish for. Jim is a great, very helpful host. You can relax on the patio, chill in front of the big TV, enjoy an invigorating shower and sleep well in the comfortable double bed. I loved the place" π www.airbnb.com/rooms/36535592

Located 5 blocks from central Papeete and is the closest hotel to Techni Marine (4 blocks). Fare Uti. It runs about 8000-10,000 a night depending on season. They do NOT have a kitchenette in the rooms but can supply electric kettle. Rooms have a mini fridge. There is a microwave downstairs that is for guests We checked π booking.com and then went and spoke to the hotel mgr. He gave us a 20% discount as we were planning on staying a week or more
8-2022 SV Jamala We stayed for over 2 weeks and it is the same as everyone says on Tripadvisor, the staff are wonderful and friendly and some of the hotel rooms have been refurbished and some havenβt. The male housekeepers were better than the ladies. If you book on π Booking.com then you can get breakfast included. Served from 6-9am not a minute after 9! There is a microwave in the lounge area that you can use. Thereβs also a coffee machine and you can buy coffee pods at reception. They will happily store your bags for you. We had two different rooms whilst we were there and both had a fridge and coffee making facilities. Bottles of water were provided daily. So near to Technimarine if your boat is in the yard.

12-2021 SV Cream Puff During a recent unexpected haulout at Technimarine, we stayed at a studio apartment owned by Stephanie Betz. She is involved with the Tahiti Pearl Regatta. Stephanie is one of the nicest hosts we have met staying at AirBnBs. We reserved on short notice and she worked things out for our schedule. The communication was prompt and courteous. Stephanie speaks excellent English. The studio is off Prince Hanoi near Boulangerie Firmin. It is well priced for Tahiti. The studio is very clean, well equipped and comfortable. There is one large room that contains a queen size bed, table for eating and small kitchen area. A second room houses a large shower with great hot water and very good water pressure. There is also a washing machine. This is one of the few rentals that had extra supplies for our stay. Nearby is everything you need; Easy Market, a pharmacy, convenience store and bakery. Oceans 2000 is around the block, 5 minute walk. Technimarine is a 15 minute walk through a neighborhood.

10-2021. FP FB βEveβ Planes flying into/from Papeete from other islands rarely align time-wise with international arrivals/ departures. I found a small bungalow (run by an awesome Tahitian woman) about two minutes from the airport. She comes and picks up you and your luggage from the airport, takes you to her airconditioned bungalow where you can shower and re-organize (she has free Wifi too) and then she takes you and your luggage back to the airport the following day, or whenever your flight is. All this shuffling of people and luggage is included in the cost of the bungalow, which was around 100 USD for 1 night.
