Fare Taina

Fare Oaoa · separate living room, beachfront, sleeps 4

Fare Taina, a 35 m² fare for four steps from the lagoon at Haapiti, Moorea. Twin of Fare Tiare, next door. Free breakfast, kayaks, check-in from midday. A bedroom plus a living room with a convertible sofa sleeping two, an equipped kitchen, a large bay window with lagoon views, and a terrace facing the sunset. Fare Oaoa Haapiti is a small beachfront pension of six fare at PK 23,9 in Haapiti, on the quiet west coast of Moorea, 20 minutes from the Vaiare ferry port and 30 from the airport. Breakfast and kayaks are included for every guest, and the shared pool and the beachfront jacuzzi are open to all six.

The middle of the three fare on the beach, and the twin of Fare Tiare beside it. The bedroom holds a queen bed on a memory-foam mattress; the living room next to it has a sofa bed that opens for two more, so a couple can have a room to sleep in and a room to sit in rather than one room doing both. A large bay window frames the lagoon. The kitchen is fully equipped: gas hob and extractor, microwave, coffee maker, rice cooker, blender. The bathroom has a walk-in shower. Air conditioning throughout, and mosquito screens on the windows. Outside, a wooden deck with a table, and then the sand. The evening is what this fare is for. The jacuzzi sits on the beach a short walk away, heated and open to guests, and the sun goes down over the water in front of it. Eight sun loungers are set out along the beach, and the light on the reef at that hour is the reason people come back. Fare Taina and Fare Tiare are identical and adjacent. Booked together they sleep eight across two separate fare.

The grocery store is directly across the road and opens early. A smoothie stand and a pizza truck are two minutes away, and the pizza truck delivers. Every fare has its own kitchen, so cooking is easy if that is the evening you want. Kathy also cooks: international home cooking, ordered by 4pm, served at a table on the sand or brought to your fare. And there are very good restaurants a short drive away, fifteen minutes north at Hauru, which we will book for you and tell you how to find. Straight in front of the property, the Haapiti pass breaks all year and draws surfers from across the world. Dolphins are usually out in the lagoon in the morning. Tiahura beach is about fifteen minutes away by car, and humpback whales pass between August and October.

Rent a car. It is the honest answer for Moorea: the beaches, the restaurants and the viewpoints are spread right around the island, and there is free parking for you inside the property. Rental desks are at the airport and beside the ferry terminal. A scooter costs less and works well if you are travelling light. If you would rather not drive, a tour operator can plan each day and collect you here. Tell us and we will put you in touch. We do not recommend relying on the local bus: it runs, but not to a timetable you can build a day around. We are 20 minutes from the Vaiare ferry port and 30 minutes from Moorea airport. If you land in Tahiti after the last ferry you will need a night in Papeete before crossing, and we are happy to recommend somewhere.

Per chi è?

Il Fare Taina è la scelta per i soggiorni che durano: la camera da una parte, un vero salotto dall'altra, così una coppia ha una stanza per dormire e una per vivere. La grande vetrata incornicia la laguna dal divano.

In famiglia, il divano letto ospita due persone in più. E per due coppie o tra amici, Taina e Tiare uno accanto all'altro fanno otto posti letto, ognuno a casa propria.
