Cottage Manua by Tahiti Homes

The Cottage Manua is a small charming vacation rental located on the motu Temae in the northeast of the island of Moorea.
Motu Temae is an ancient islet attached to the mainland. It is a unique place in Moorea, much appreciated by local and international travelers for its ambiance and rustic landscapes worthy of the Polynesian atolls. The green vegetation, composed of the famous miki miki shrub, twisted and resistant to salinity, borders the long white sand beach. The particularity of the motu Temae is the narrow lagoon that borders it, offering the possibility to observe whales, when it is the season (August to October), from the beach itself as the ocean is close. Several pools with white coral sand are accessible for swimming and snorkeling.

Accessible from the road along the 18-hole Jack Nicklaus golf course, Cottage Manua is located in a servitude in the heart of a small residential community of houses and bungalows.

Surrounded by an exotic and tropical garden, the Cottage Manua is composed of two air-conditioned bedrooms located on the first floor, a bathroom, and a mezzanine bedroom with fan.

Its wooden architecture and its bohemian chic decoration bring all the charm to this holiday home for a serene vacation.

The large air-conditioned living room with kitchen opens onto a large terrace overlooking the garden. Its high ceilings allow a constant freshness of the room which also accommodates a table soccer.

Facilities such as WIFI internet, snorkels and barbecue are also available to guests free of charge.

The Manua Cottage comfortably accommodates 6 adults or 4 adults and two children.

The beach is just a few minutes away by foot, following a narrow path that winds through the various houses of this small residential area.

A rental car is essential during your stay as public transportation is non-existent in this part of the island. Contact us to arrange your rental.
The property is fully fenced and closed by an electric gate.

What we like
- The beach at a few minutes walking distance.
- The cosy atmosphere and the "seaside house" style.
- The garden and its many plants.
- The proximity of the shops and the ferry terminal.

What we know
- 2-minute drive to the golf course.
- 9-minute drive to Maharepa shopping center.
- 8 minute from Manava Moorea Resort & Spa.
- 10-minute drive to the ferry terminal.
- 7-minute drive to the airport.

Temae beach vacation
Overall a great experience, some minor inconveniences -the road to the house is riddled with potholes, no outdoor chairs (loungers or lawn chairs) . Very close to ocean , activities, restaurants & shops.

Delightful neighborhood
Comfortable house, especially main bedroom bed. Had everything needed to cook a few meals. Loved the location - able to drive around the airport to Temae Beach (tons smoother drive than road from main highway!) and able to walk to beach.

Beautiful cottage
I enjoyed my time here. Everything I needed was supplied. Clean and lots of light. Air conditioning was perfect. Great communication with the property manager. Very sweet and cheerful. Loved the solitude of the beautiful beach not far from the cottage. Spent quite a bit of time there. Thank you for letting me stay in your beautiful cottage. ☺️

Comfortable and Relaxing Stay
We had a wonderful four-night stay with our family (kids ages 6 and 8). Communication with the property manager and the check in/out was quick and easy. The kitchen we well-equipped and we liked having a washer and dryer. The foosball table and back patio (cat included) were fun for the kids. We appreciated the filtered water and coffee. Our daughter loved the loft area! We liked being on this side of the island as it was only a five minute drive to Temae beach, which was incredible! We went there two days. The walkable beach from the house was also lovely, but water shoes are needed for the coral. We even had dinner at the golf course one night, which is very close. Would recommend and stay again!

Relaxing beach vacation
The cottage was spacious and had a private back porch area. The beach was only a short walk away and was never busy. Overall, we really enjoyed our time on Moorea and hope to come back soon!

Beautiful Cottage with Beach Vibes
This was a great home base for our family of 4. The air conditioned bedrooms are nicely decorated and cozy. There is lots of space to relax in the common area. The fooseball table was a fun diversion. The neighborhood feels safe and people are friendly. Its by an airport but dont let that deter you - we only heard 3 or 4 planes in 5 days. The beach is not too far away. You can hear the waves crashing. There is a protecrive reef there. The water is shallow at the beach There are a few spots to wade waist high and look at the fish and coral. The only downside is there is only one bathroom, which may be more difficult for larger parties

Temae stay
The house is excellent. Well set out, well maintained, exceptionally clean, well stocked with essentials, and in a good location, just up from Temae beach and adjacent to the golf course (if you’re into golf). The snorkelling on the reef closest to the house is great - just be ware of the current, particularly as the tides turn. Great hikes in the area also.

Long stay in tahitti
Nice house. House only has one restroom, so for larger groups you need to plan ahead for time in bathroom. Renting company is very particular with linens. They actually counted every piece of bedding and towel when we checked out. Never experienced that with a rental property before. We rent our home and do not count every thing like they do! One wash cloth was washed with something red so it was pinkish in color. Said they may have to charge me, but didn't. There information book for house as only in French. Translated what we needed. Trash recycle bins were a pain because the book didn't explain it very well and in French. Reached out to host for better instructions but did not recieve then until last day. Directions to house are not very good. They sent us pictures to reference but they are not correct. All property's there are hard to find because they don't use numbers like most places do. Overall nice house with a short walk to a remote beach..
