It’s one of those memorable places in life because it’s so unique. We loved that it was so different than the island stay, has almost a Bali vibe. It’s near hiking, the best beach on island and the town so you have options. The owners themselves are so wonderful and memorable.

We’ve been to over 25 countries and hundreds & hundreds of different accommodations. This is by far the most impressive villa and grounds we’ve ever seen, much less stayed in. Very much Ernest Hemingway meets Indiana Jones! Truly spectacular and one of a kind. Countless comfort and Polynesian artistic touches everywhere. Our host was also extremely responsive. Very knowledgeable. I would give it an 11 if I could. Great air conditioning too. Even the bathroom belongs in a museum.

To be fair, a couple of nitpicks: incredibly slow internet, even by French Polynesia standards. Also, we could hear someone playing loud music in the distance on several days (not every day). Not sure if it was a restaurant or residence, but at least it stopped by 9:30 pm.

Me and my wife have traveled a lot. Around the world, all types of accomodations including luxurious resorts and 5 star boutique hotels. But let me tell you, Rohotu Fare is something else. If I have to use tge word exceptional for only one accomodation, it would be Rohotu Fare. Lush garden better than many botanical gardens around the world. Absolutely stunning villas with old world charm. The owner Nir is almost like some book character of an adventurer, collector, visionary and a dreamer who makes dreams come true. Incredible hospitality by him and his wife Tiare. Loved every second of our stay and all the insights Nir and Tiare gave us. It has been a pleasure and honor to stay at Rohotu Fare. Thanks for making our honeymoon truly unforgetable.

Literally nothing negative about this place.

Fantastic views over the bay and Mount Otemanu, unbelievably well thought through garden and room design. Absolutely special and one of a kind accommodation.
