If you are looking to be pampered in an air-conditioned room with a nearby pool and cabana boys don't stay here! If however, you want to experience life in paradise, this is your place. Laurel and James (& kids & dogs) are great hosts and interested in helping you enjoy your time in Moorea. Laurel has great contacts and suggestions.... More

For our second trip to Moorea we didn't want to stay in a large resort where we wouldn't be able to experience the rich Polynesian culture. We definitely had our dream vacation at Te Nunoa with James, Laurel, Fiona, and Dushan. The bungalow was built in the typical Polynesian style with beautiful hardwoods surrounded by lush gardens. The bungalow offered... More

TeNunoa exceeded our expectations! It was wonderful in every way and perfect for a family trip. The bungalow is beautiful! It's well equipped with the perfect amount of amenties, it's beautifully decorated, and incredibly clean. It has a beautiful fenced in yard -- so lush with fruit and flowering trees. We spent alot of time in the hammock perfectly strung... More

We stayed at Te Nunoa for little under a week in the second week of June. We loved it! As a family of 4 with two small children, this palce turned out to be an ideal setting for us. We were looking for a idyllic, non-resort'ish accommodation that would give us a good feel for local lifestyle - Te Nunoa... More

I just returned from my 2nd visit to Te Nunoa and couldn’t be happier. The first time I visited was a couple years ago with my husband. This time I brought my 8-year old son. The first thing I noticed was how much the garden had filled in. It is just so lovely and peaceful. It was the perfect place... More

We stayed for 4 days (too long) at Te Nunoa at the beginning of June. First off, Moorea is beautiful and we WILL be back... Just not to Te Nunoa. The toilet overflowed 2 out of 4 nights. The walls do not go all the way to the thatched roof, allowing all sorts of critters inside the bungalow. I do... More

Hi Melissa, I am so sorry to hear you had such a bad time at Te Nunoa. It is disappointing to hear because we always do our best to welcome everyone to our island and home. Unfortunately you were here after a large rain and that is when the mosquitoes come out. I’m sorry you were so affected. I would... More

Laurel and James make you feel immediately welcome to the piece of paradise they've created - spacious, inviting, delicious furniture, incredibly comfortable bed (!!), own kitchen, huge bathroom - the whole place is beautifully appointed. Away from the resorts hubbub, Te Nunoa is across the road from an incredible beach and lagoon which at most seemed to have 10 people... More

We love Te Nunoa, we’ve stayed there 4 times; it’s SO Moorea! Each island in Tahiti has its own character and Moorea is one of the most relaxed places of all of them. Sure there are 5 star hotels and there are some no star hotels. Save your 5 star hotel stay for Bora Bora because trust me, you’ll want... More

If you looking to stay in a large new expansive bungalow at a reasonable rate away from the resorts, this is the place to stay in Moorea. There is a full kitchen and a supermarket within 5 minutes walking distance. We cooked many of our meals in our bungalow, which saved us quite a bit of money. A private beach is... More
