Tiputa – Gistiheimili

Barbara Ástralía

Chez taia et véro is exceptional! Taia and véro are lovely hosts and will make sure you feel 100% comfortable. The breakfast is plenty and the place is spacious and clean. Awesome location, 1minute from the ocean, very quite. Taia made us one night dinner and it was soooo delicious. I recommend to stay there. If we find ourselves in tiputa again, we will stay with taia and véro again.

Moana Breeze was the perfect place to end our honeymoon. Marco and Enrica (and their friendly dog Iggy) were absolutely wonderful hosts. They are warm, accommodating, and incredibly interesting and accomplished people, with tons of information and stories to share. They are also incredible cooks, and made us the two best meals we had on our whole trip :) The property is also lovely, with lots of thoughtful environmental touches, a well stocked kitchen, access to bikes, and a fresh-baked baguette every morning. We would highly highly recommend staying here!! The only note is that since the Moana Breeze is on Tiputa, you will need to arrange water/land taxis in order to do activities on Rangiroa - but Marco and Enrica are always happy to help arrange those for you, and Tiputa is gorgeous and charming and very worth the extra effort :)

A little slice of old Polynesia staying on Tiputa island, part of Rangiroa atoll. Coupled with all the comforts at Tiputa Lodge and the attentions of the fabulous Henri makes it a very special stay. Hemti is a natural host, creating a tranquil, modern, and beautiful space - when at the lodge we lived on our private and spacious outdoor deck with gorgeous views of the gardens and ocean. Henri knows all the best places and provides exceptional recommendations for just about anything on both parts of the atoll and makes everything simple and easy. Yaks diving was superb and when I couldn’t get in the first day suggested a private dive with Serge of Arachamides diving where I had my first underwater encounter with dolphins.

I loved my stay here due to several reasons: the host, Hinano, is so wonderful. she is so kind and make me feel so at home. I appreciated her hospitality so much. The place is very clean, comfortable, and ideally situated near the marina, very convenient for diving. The other HUGE plus is having wifi in the bungalow and a bike and kayak at your disposal for no charge. I also enjoyed the privacy. Note that the picture shown first is not part of your space; it’s the lanai in her house, but she will welcome you to enjoy it with her and have a lovely chat. If I were to return to Rangiroa, I would definitely book here again.

We loved our room along the back of the pension, great views, breakfast each morning, super helpful staff. We could t have asked for anything more!

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!

I loved the beach front location 🥰 not far from the airport, quick walking distance to a supermarket and a restaurant.
