Traditional Tahitian holiday home with OpticFiber highspeed internet at the ideal location, 150m from the center of the main town Fare. Large tropical yard with a view on the highest mountain of Huahine. Accessible with our two cruiser-bikes are white sand beaches, the gorgeous lagoon, supermarket, outdoor market & restaurants. Clean linens, stocked kitchen, hot/cold water machine,hot indoor shower, high pressure water pump, 2 beach/town bicycles. Stay amongst the locals on this traditional Tahitian road. There is a large loft/bedroom upstairs with a queen-sized bed, a single bed and fan; with plenty of shelf space and to hang clothes. Stairs are a bit steep. The bedroom is airy and has a beautiful view of the yard, valley and mountains. Downstairs in the living area there is a couch/click-clack. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking; including new gas stove (gas included), fridge, coffee maker and toaster. The owners live next door on the same property. Pick off and drop off at the airport possible; 1000xpf one way.
Franky's fare is located on a private family road; surrounded by Tahitian culture. The road is not paved and is a bit rugged but it is lined with tropical foliage. It is also located in a beautiful valley with the tallest mountain on the island, Turi watching over. You will hear the sounds of dogs, chickens, cows, roosters and music as you travel only ten houses from the main town of fare and all the best white-sand beaches on Huahine. Because Fare is located on a large lagoon there are many activities like snorkelling, kayaking, swimming, SUP, sun bathing, boating, fishing, etc. just 150 meters away from Franky's. The rhythm of the island is very laid back; early to bed and early to rise. There is a market with local goods; fruits, vegetables, etc, that opens at first light on the main road in Fare.
