I got lucky to find this family run guest house in a quiet hill neighborhood in Arue. Laurence, Valerie and super chef son Tom were beyond hospitable and made a wonderful stay in Tahiti even more so. The personal touch was everywhere, breakfast was a treat, and the thoughtfully prepared dinner option was amazing. Five stars!!

Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Tahiti, Maison Taina is a true guest house gem, that encapsulates the essence of a tranquil family experience. From the moment we arrived, which was around 2am, we were greeted by Laurent and Tom and felt the warmth of Tahitian hospitality. Valerie, Laurent and Tom went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our stay was special. The accommodations at Maison Taina are modern with understated elegance and comfort. One of the highlights of our stay was the culinary experience at Maison Taina. Tom made us a dinner showcasing the vibrant flavors of Tahitian cuisine using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. It was the best meal we had on Tahiti! Perfectly grilled Mahi-mahi with a garlic and vanilla sauce and the best crème brulee we have ever had! Laurent made us breakfast with croissants and café au lait and eggs and fresh fruit and Valerie and Laurent talked with us about the local culture and the “ma’ohi spirit of Tahiti. In addition to its beautiful accommodations and delectable dining options, Maison Taina helped arrange a car rental for us, recommended beaches and best places to buy Tahitian pearls. The beauty of Tahiti combined with the unparalleled hospitality of the French owners, Valerie and Laurent, created a memorable holiday that will linger in our memories.

The hosts could not have been nicer. They spoke both French and English. The food was outstanding for a fair price. I would not have eaten anywhere else for food as good. The rooms were clean and after 25 days of crewing on a catamaran the soaking tub was fabulous. The pool was the size of a family pool but just for us so it was perfect.

At our arrival, we were welcomed by our host, Laurent, at the airport. The maison is about 20 minutes drive. We got upgraded to a better room with a wonderful view and the location is pretty quiet. The only noise we hear was from the rooster which is typical in Tahiti. The breakfast was great, fresh tropical fruits, coffee, tea, juice, french croissants/ pain au chocolat accompanied with local fruits jam. Visitors will start a good day with this type of meal. Valérie was also very helpful and she gave us some good tips for the area. Tom, the chef, treated us with a gourmet dinner, very delicious.

Charming guest house, wonderful Hosts.
Charming small guest house away from the traffic, tourists & noise in Papeete. Hosts Valerie & Lohan are friendly and make you feel at home, doing your laundry, lending snorkel gear, beach towels & sharing the best places to go for your interest. Great healthy breakfasts & option for gourmet dinner cooked by Chef Tom, Valerie’s son. Rent a car & stay here, for the best experiences in Tahiti, plus info & recommendations for other Islands. Relaxing pool and hot tub, too. We would definitely stay here again!

I made an incredibly good choice when I selected to stay at this wonderful guesthouse. The room had all the amenities I could ask for and the owners were incredibly helpful. The dinner with the owners and other guests was an absolute treat. Their chef Tom has incredible talent. I highly recommend Maison Taina as a great way to experience Tahiti from a local’s viewpoint. The stay surpassed any of my expectations and I’ll be staying there again soon!

The uniqueness of this place comes from both owners, Valerie & Laurent. When you arrive from a long trip, you just feel at home. The view is marvelous, the breakfast is almost a brunch with fresh fruits and local bread, eggs & jams. The design of the bedrooms has been thought with taste and are spacious. Not too many guests so you really feel (and they make you feel!) part of their family! I highly recommend this hidden gem just a little bit further than Papeete but it worth it, really.

Valerie and Laurent have transformed this home to a gem. The decor is tasteful, the rooms are spacious and bright, the fixtures and wallpaper makes you feel like you should when on an island vacation. The water is hot, the A/C is cold, and the wifi works mostly great. The hosts are truly like family, they open up themselves to their guests without hesitation. Tom is a hidden gem himself - young, mature, and extremely talented in the kitchen. He created dishes that I had never even heard of, and the result is phenomenal. The entire family is amazing, and a part of the Tahiti attraction! A few things to note when making your booking: the house is up in the hills and away from town, and you will not make it without a car; the house is up in higher elevation with great views of the ocean in the distance if you are on the second floor; this is a quiet residential neighborhood - that said, you will hear the roosters and cats (if they're in heat), so don't go unprepared: bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. I am generally a light sleeper, but honestly those roosters failed to bother me the second night onwards. I enjoyed my stay immensely as a solo traveler, and would highly recommend this booking.
