I was amazed, this accomodation its an amazing place. Very comfortable with all you need. Louana, the house manager, was extremely helpful and hospitable. She helped us with the transfer from the airport to the accomodation. She gaves us tips for the island. I would, for sure, return here for my next vacation.

This is a modern house set back 100 meters or so from the main road. Very quiet. Not many lights in the area so wonderful stargazing from the yard. Beds were super comfortable. I took mine apart trying to discover the manufacturer. The owners kept in steady contact and the lady that met us was very friendly and helpful. We had a minor maintenance issue that she resolved very quickly. It is a few minutes' drive from the best beach on the island, so a perfect location.

Featuring a balcony with pool views, an open-air bath and a garden, Hidden Villas by Matira Beach can be found in Bora Bora, close to Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora Beach and 1.6 km from Matira Beach. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property offers allergy-free units and is located 14 km from Mount Otemanu.

Firstly Ingrid and Olivier were fantastic hosts, very friendly but not imposing, and were extremely helpful when we had trouble with late luggage deliveries and ordering taxis and other small things. The location is in the Matira Beach district of Bora Bora, a short walk to the beautiful public beach and several restaurants and beach front bar/cafes within 10 min walk. It is also very close to the MaiTai jetty where a lot of water activities can happen and Matira Point where there is a hire place and tours for jetskis. The property is just a few metres from Tiare market which is a small grocery store with most small grocery items available as well as a decent selection of wine (at Bora Bora prices of course!). The bread and french pastries from the market are magnificent but you need to arrive early to get some as they seem to be hottest items on the island! You will not go hungry or thirsty with the market so close. The villa is beautiful - very new, with modern appliances and well equipped kitchen, air conditioning in all bedrooms, a beautiful alfresco outdoor space next to the pool. The pool is fantastic, perfect way to start and end the day! The three bedrooms are very spacious with king size beds and the bathrooms are modern and tasteful. It is also very secure, we never felt at all like there was a problem - all the locals were very friendly, and say hello.

The nearest airport is Bora Bora Airport, 15 km from the holiday home.

Very clean and well-appointed. Everything seemed very new. The two bedrooms and the front, ocean-facing common room were a good size and had excellent air conditioning. The outdoor covered deck was a great place to have a meal or read a book. The rental company contact was very responsive and helpful. The location was excellent, a one minute walk from a very nice stretch of Matira Beach.

Anything you might need on your vacation. The host, his wife and their dogs were very friendly and welcoming. Fred also drove us back to the ferry to the airport. There is also a small gift that you get at the end, but I won't spoil the surprise. There is a roulette (food stand) nearby (2-3 min walk) although the host also offers dinners for an additional charge.

Looking for a holiday home?

Great for families or large parties, holiday homes are privately owned accommodation, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities for self-catering, although breakfast may be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different to apartments.
