We are so happy we stayed at this property. So much nicer than a resort. A very local place. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. For our continental breakfast, all fruit was grown on the property. Delicious. Arno was fabulous and helped us take the bus to Papeete and directed us to the food trucks. Lovely grounds and a wonderful pool. Stay here if you want to get a real taste of the island of Tahiti! Thank you!

Pension Pare Lodge was amazing. Very clean and friendly staff. The environment at Pare was serene and relaxing. We loved the pool, the chickens and their antics, and the cute dog. I would highly recommend Pension Pare Lodge.

Great lodge! Friendly staff and very helpful. Lovely garden and swimming-pool, nice breakfast. Will definitely stay here again, when back in Papeete. The place is very clean and they have lots of space, for car parking, in case you are coming with a car. They have transfer service to and from the airport and safari and all kinds of excursions can be booked through them too. Looking forward to be back there again.

Hello, the staff was very friendly, however, it was not advertised as having a shared bathroom, and that was a big shock to my family who had just traveled 10 hours to arrive at a room that was much more like a hostel than a hotel lodge. The shared bathrooms were uncomfortable for my children who didn't feel safe showering, and had we known there was a shared bathroom we would not have booked this room as a family.

The staff (especially Louis) were extremely friendly and helpful. They ensured we had a fantastic time exploring the island and facilitated many opportunities for us (i.e. ferry to Mo'orea, car rental, safari tour). The property was very clean and private. It felt like being invited into someone's home. Breakfast was delicious each day and Louis took note of the fruits we enjoyed the most and ensured we always had that on our plates. We highly recommend this lodge to anyone traveling with or without kids.

Mi sono trovata benissimo. sono tutti gentilissimi e fanno di tutto per aiutarti e consigliarti al meglio. Il posto è molto pulito e comodo e la colazione è ottima con la frutta dell’ orto. La posizione è ottimale, sia se si ha una macchina, sia per girare in autobus e per la cena a pochi minuti c’è un piazzale con i migliori food truck dell’isola!! Consiglio vivamente e ringrazio tutto lo staff della pension pare Lodge!
