Fare Matairoa - Cozy Cottage w Pretty Beachfront

Fare Matairoa, meaning "the long wind", is the ideal local beach cottage for a small family getaway or a couple's retreat. It is very simple and straightforward to use. The beachfront is very private. More secluded from the touristy beach of Haapiti, not many people have access to the beach of Varari. You will enjoy some very private and exclusive beach access. Additionally, the house is practically facing the sunset. Each nightfall you'll get to enjoy nature's multicolored show.
At Fare Matairoa you'll find comfort, cleanliness (we use a professional cleaning team), privacy and a gorgeous beach to top it all off. Basically, you will get a quintessential Mo'orea island living experience.

SLEEPING
Fare Matairoa has 2 bedrooms, one spacious master bedroom and one guest bedroom (a bit smaller). Both bedrooms have A/C and closet space to make you feel right at home. Both beds are queen size and the mattresses are brand new. The bedrooms have recently been remodeled to create a local-chic vibe. The windows offer lots of sunlight and make the bedrooms very comfortable and cozy.

KITCHEN/DINING
The kitchen is fully-equipped for easy cooking. You'll be able to cook your own meals easily or eat out at near-by local restaurants. The dining table has been set on the terrace therefore you can enjoy each meal with a gorgeous lagoon view every time and sip on some afternoon cocktails during the sunset.

LIVING ROOM
The living room has a big sofa that can fit all 4 guests at the same time. The smart TV has Netflix whenever you'll like enjoying some down time after a day of exploring or when it's (rarely) raining.

AMENITIES
Fare Matairoa has 2 kayaks, 4 sun chairs, 1 barbecue and an outdoor shower. It has everything you need to make you want to stay there all day.

Note: Guests benefit from a 10% discount for stays of 7 days and more.

The highlights:
- The beachfront: gorgeous white sand beach and turquoise lagoon
- The sunset
- The location: near numerous shops and restaurants
- The A/C in the bedrooms
- The numerous leisure accessories (kayaks and sun chairs)
- The dining table on the terrace in front of the ocean
- Quality linens and mattresses

## Neighborhood

Ha'apiti is a popular neighbordhood because of the long white sand beaches and the access to the motus (islets) in the middle of the lagoon. There are lots of restaurants, local shops and activities near the house (less than a 5minute drive).

## Transit

Fare Matairoa is located in Varari which is about a 35minute drive from the ferry docks from one side of the island or the other.
We strongly recommend renting a motor vehicle to get around. We have partnerships with local vendors that you can benefit from so please ask us about it.

## Notes

Ask us about activities and tours and we will provide you with the best and curated recommendations.

Spectacular view!
We arrived to a place that we have heard about all of our lives with high expectations, and we were blown away by the fact that it exceeded those expectations. Close to a market with amazing bread and pastries. Amazing sunsets. The concierge, Caroline, facilitated all of our needs and had answers to our many questions. Ranitea and Jade were also very informative, helpful, friendly and prompt. We will stay here again! Most relaxing vacation ever!

Excellent Property, Location and Management
We stayed at Fare Matairoa for our first visit to Moorea in mid January. The property was exactly as described and an excellent place to stay. We had 2 couples and were very comfortable with the two AC bedrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and could be used for preparing all meals. There is a well stocked grocery within walking which we used for drinks, breakfast supplies and other sundry's. We watched the beautiful sunsets each evening on the porch overlooking the lagoon and swam and kayaked.in the spectacular and very private and secluded waters. Jade, our host, was very responsive and helpful. She recommended restaurants and other activities all of which were really good and easy to access. We attended the Tiki show right down the street and enjoyed this very much. We had lunch and dinner in close by restaurants (Coco D'Isle, Cafe Vincenzo's and Tihaura) all of which were excellent. We would highly recommend renting a car on Moorea which is very easy. We rented from Auto Rent which we highly recommend. This allows convenient access to many locations and activities or just exploring the beautiful island. Overall, we highly recommend this property, location and Jade! This was a fantastic start to a extended stay in French Polynesia!

Great Stay
My girlfriend and I stayed here for 4 days and had a wonderful time. I am nursing an achilles rupture so laying on the beach was wonderful. Great relaxation tool for recovery.
