Property Details
Guest House - Bungalows Vacation Rentals 2-5 pers - Vanira Lodge - Tahiti Island - French Polynesia.
On Tahiti's peninsular, a headland juts out between the sea and the mountains, as though it were a huge ship sailing the ocean's waves. In times gone by, the Tahitians came here to scan the horizon in search of shoals of fish, or to guard against attacks from enemy tribes. It was also a place of worship. A place of enchantment; welcome to Vanira Lodge.
On the leeward coast of the peninsular and facing the sunset, Teahupoo is a small village "off the beaten track": the road becomes a walking track along the water's edge that takes you to the cliffs of Pari and the vast forest and coastal area of Fenua Aihere - where one can still find the odd hermit living a back-to-nature lifestyle...
The lifestyle hasn't changed here: fishing, vegetable gardening, handicrafts, the friendliness & kindness of the local people, this is the Polynesia of yesterday & today.
The tiny harbour with it's marina that welcomes fishing boats & round-the-world yachtspeople is the meeting place for the villagers: one comes here to dream, to chat with friends, to play the ukelele, to fish for ature...
At the end of the road is another favourite spot - the black sand beach at the river mouth where children can go boogie-boarding.
Teahupoo village, made famous by it's surf spots ("the best wave in the world!") has become important in the world of international surf competitions - in particular the Billabong Pro, held every May, which brings together the 44 top surfers in the world. They come from all corners of the earth to confront the legendary wave. The locals watch, amused, as surfers & tourists pose for photos in front of the "Teahupoo" signpost.
On a plateau, 50 metres above sea level, Vanira lodge has an amazing 180° view over the lagoon. Surfers will appreciate on awaking, being able to assess the waves in each of the 3 Teahupoo surf spots from their bungalow. Needless to say, the sunsets are magnificent.
There are many tropical fruit trees planted around the park, a small waterfall & pond which provides a home for goldfish & a playground for ducks, and still enough room to play whichever ball game you enjoy. The beauty of the view back over the mountains is equal to that over the water.
Vanira Lodge has 4 bungalows, each with beautiful & expansive views over the sea & the park.
The " fare pote'e " (reception area & guest lounge) provides a place to sit & read, chat, or simply daydream while contemplating the wonderful view.
