Oa Oa Lodge

5 minutes' drive from the ferry terminal. Chalet was spacious with a decking outside. Kitchen minimalistic. Very friendly and helpful staff. Pool was very nice and you can literally snorkel from the decking. Free piclup and drop off at Vaitape ferry terminal

Schöner kleiner Ort mit einem perfekten Infinity-Pool mit Blick auf die Lagune. Die Bungalows sind geräumig, wenn auch ein wenig veraltet (zum Kochen nicht wirklich geeignet, da die Kochnische nur zwei elektrische Kochplatten hat), aber sie sind vollkommen komfortabel. Unser Zimmer hatte ein großes Kingsize-Bett und einen überdachten Sitz-/Tischbereich im Freien. Es gibt eine Leiter hinunter zur Lagune, die im Januar sogar wärmer war als der hauptsächlich mit Süßwasser gefüllte Pool. WLAN ist auf den Poolbereich beschränkt, wo es viele Sitzgelegenheiten, Tische und Liegestühle gibt. Das Restaurant vor Ort haben wir nicht genutzt: Zwei Minuten zu Fuß die Straße hinauf von der Stadt entfernt stand ein schöner, makellos sauberer Pizzeria-Wagen mit guten Preisen und anständigem Belag (dienstags geschlossen). In Richtung der Stadt gibt es zwei Supermärkte, die man in 15 Minuten zu Fuß erreichen kann, sowie eine Reihe von Restaurants und Burger-Wagen. Es war schwer herauszufinden, welche wann geöffnet hatten!

Ventilation was a huge issue in the bath room and toilets. The beds were solid wood, which is good but the every one bumped multiple times as they had a huge frame covered underneath the bed sheet. It is not far from downtown so thats a plus however no airconditioners in the rooms. Though its on the water l, the water is 8-10 feet deep which kept us out of it. The views were great and I guess fpr the people who served us and the views are the reason the lodge gets 2 stars.

Tom picked me up from the Air Tahiti ferry in town and I was amazed that my bungalow was actually ready upon arrival in the early morning. The property is quaint and beautiful with an on-site restaurant and infinity pool. I was in partial over-water bungalow #1 . The room and balcony are quite spacious, however basic, and could definitely use an update and some TLC. Also, there is no air conditioning in this bungalow . The ceiling fan worked fairly well and I also slept with the balcony doors open for the breeze. I definitely could have used an extra fan though. The fridge worked well for my drinks and there is a closet next to the sink in the bathroom. The staff is one of the things that makes this property special. Tom is wonderful and Lisa in the restaurant is also fabulous. The food was pretty good, too. It's about a 20 minute walk to town and a 5-10 minute walk to a couple of other restaurants. Thank you very much for the hospitality!

Was very surprised by this place, basic but very clean and spacious. The rooms are slightly dated and a little tired. We were collected from the dock and taken to Oa Oa Centre and walked through to our lodge. The swimming pool and surrounding area was quiet and quite often we were the only ones using it. Great views from the pool too. Our lodge was at the back of the complex near the road which could be noisy from traffic and dogs. The staff on site were very pleasant and always said hello with a smile. The restaurant only opens in the evening and the rooms had limited cooking facilities so we ventured out. Lots of food trucks which were very clean. Highly recommend Chez Pam for pizza which is out of the complex turn left and walk for five minutes.
