Offering a garden and garden view, Matira house is situated in Bora Bora, less than 1 km from Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora Beach and 14 km from Mount Otemanu.

I had a wonderful stay at this pension in Bora Bora. The location is fantastic, just a couple of minutes’ walk from the only public beach on the island, which is absolutely stunning. There are also a few nearby restaurants, bars, and supermarkets for snacks and essentials. The room was extremely clean, with a comfortable bed, a fridge, and a water boiler. Despite not having air conditioning, the efficient fan kept the room cool. The view from the first floor is beautiful—perfect for enjoying a morning coffee while looking out at the ocean. The owner, Heiura, was incredibly kind and helpful, even arranging for me to see her own doctor when I had an ear infection. She keeps the property spotless and provides free bicycles for guests to use. Scooters are also available for rent. The property is quiet, with a lovely external shower that has plenty of hot water. Her family is very friendly, and their cat and dog add a cozy touch. Overall, this is a fantastic place to stay, and I highly recommend it!

Situated in Bora Bora, 10 km from Mount Otemanu, Villa Yrondi offers air-conditioned accommodation and a garden. With mountain views, this accommodation features a patio and a swimming pool.

This is a wonderfully quirky, artistic place to stay. Don't expect perfection but expect a jewel in the crown for individuality, creative expression and original art of the owner. The location is serene with magnificent views (you will need a bicycle to get into town which are provided). The villa is also only a 15 minute cycle to Matira Beach which is definitely the best beach on the island. The Meastro's Suite is effectively a fully contained apartment in a mock Italianate villa; worth paying the difference for this space. We felt like we had drifted away to another era staying at Villa Yrondi. A stark contrast from our stay at one of the excessively priced international chains in Bora Bora. If you are going to Bora Bora to spend a fortune on an above-the-water villa; take some time to think about also staying on the main island in a place with individuality and charm and which is much more wallet freindly. It was actually blissful to have no TV but obviously there was wifi access. If you want screen time, do your downloads and take your own device. We certainly didn't need it in a space this peaceful with such wonderful surroundings. Exceptional. Thank you Valerie for your kindness.

    While the location may not be optimum (Matira would have been better), this small hostel in a private home is without a doubt the most affordable option in the whole of Bora Bora. The host family was friendly and hospitable, the sleeping accommodation comfortable with several fans available to make the hunidity more tolerable, and the bathroom clean and functional. I thoroughly enjoyed my 5-night stay with Karren and her family, not to mention their cute little dog Vanilla.

    Amazing place, the nature is absolutely stunning out there and Tapu is a great host. You need to have the right attitude because life on the motu is simple, don't expect luxury. But if you have, you will have a really great experience, and there is probably no better price/performance-ratio in Bora.

    This place is all about the hosts who are genuinely wonderful human beings. Since they are locals to Bora-Bora, they can give you plenty of tips on how to fill your day with jaw-dropping activities and experiences. Place itself was really clean, bed was fresh and clean too, internet worked great, breakfast and dinner were super yummy. Possibility to do laundry and to rent a bike.

    Great hostess, very helpful and welcoming. The room was clean and there were two cups of tea waiting for us in the room. Fantastic location. Close to the beach. Big bathroom. We rented a scooter from our hostess. The scooter is electric, brand new and quiet enough to have a normal conversation during a ride. I think you can also rent a car at Matira house.

    Our view was perfect. Room was comfortable and spacious. The personal sun lounges were great just outside our door. Lots of shaded areas. Water activities were very well organised. Tama and Raimana we're very informative about operating boats and advice on best spots to visit around the island lagoon. Coral reef just in front of our room was teaming with fish. Food at restaurant was delicious. Locals around the area were friendly and helpful. We absolutely loved it!
