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.
