We had an amazing time at Fare Varari. Caroline was responsive and easy to work with in taking care of our needs before arrival. She planned an ATV tour as well as a Polynesian day starting with making flower crowns with Tepari and then having a fire dance and a lovely meal made at the house by Fifi. Tepari was fun to work with and the fire dance was excellent. As we had two food allergies, we were a bit concerned about the dinner, but Fifi did a great job of creating a menu that was delicious and within our capability to eat. Overall, the space was very comfortable, with lots of spaces to hang out together (family of 5 adults). We spent evenings playing pool and days swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding. The water was clear with so many fish, beautiful coral as well as lots of black tipped reef sharks and sting rays that swam back and forth along the shallow waters, which was very entertaining. We had planned to go to the lagoon to swim with the rays and sharks, but didn't do this as we got to see so many while snorkeling as well as just hanging at the house. We also had some excellent star gazing while we were there. There were a few bugs, but they only really bothered one person in our party. There are roosters that crow in the morning, which I found ear plugs blocked out pretty well and the rest of our group just slept through. Overall, I'd highly recommend this home to anyone traveling to Moorea.

Incredible holiday

Amazing house for an extended family group of 12, aged 2-76. Fantastic spaces for everybody to relax in (we loved the games room) and the most beautiful near-private beach with tame stingrays and reef sharks. Great snorkelling right off the beach and all-tide swimming. We would love to go back one day.

Phenomenal Property, Exceptional Team

Caroline is the most efficient, responsive, gracious host and we were super impressed by her team. Everything was perfect because of the fantastic group of people that makes this home and its experiences so special. A huge thank you to Vahia, the night watchman, for doing such an amazing job. He is discreet, kind, and just a lovely human being. We sincerely enjoyed our dance lesson from the lovely Marie France! And if you can, ask for the local chef Fifi to create you a delicious meal with local Polynesian dishes. Her guava pumpkin dessert was so special. This lovely lady worked around our allergies and made it a night to remember for all our friends. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Caroline. Her attention to detail and beautiful heart shine through everything she does. She was quick with her communication, curated wonderful memorable experiences for us, and we had absolutely everything we needed under her care. A true professional, we respect her so much. If you are considering booking this villa, I highly recommend you do. Trust me, it is worth it. Fare Varari is the absolute best luxurious property. Quality linens, great hot water for the gorgeous bath tubs, plenty of outdoor space with comfortable seating, a kitchen with every gadget and utensil you could hope for, and a full closet of toys to explore the reef with. The view will mesmerize you, but we keep coming back because of the incredible team. Mauruuru Roa! Sara and Tim

The amenities were great such as snorkel gear and kayaks. The kitchen was very accommodating well stocked with utensils plates and cooking equipment, including a wonderful barbecue in the bar area. The people were fantastic. First, Caroline was super at checking as in and helping us throughout the week with tours and setting up dinners for us.

Incomparable property with fantastic service

This vacation rental has no equal. Without a shadow of a doubt, Fare Varari is the most exceptional property you can find, at any price. This breathtaking home is literally paradise on earth. And this paradise comes with its own “Saint” and her name is Caroline. Together, they will ensure this will be the vacation stay of a lifetime. Our family of 10 (aged 10-80) had an amazing visit at this wonderful home. The property is enormous and beautifully landscaped. Incredible snorkeling every day off our almost private beach. Rays, black tipped sharks and variety of coral fish were abundant. The lagoon is calm and safe for all. The home is beautiful inside and out. Air conditioned bedrooms, beautiful bathrooms and fantastic outside seating. Kayaks, outrigger canoe and snorkel gear for all ages add to water pleasure. Caroline, the property manager couldn't have been more helpful before and during our stay. Caroline answered all our pre trip questions and made our stay fantastic. She was able to pre stock the house with groceries for our arrival. She was always available and helped arrange travel and tours including dinner reservations in Papeete for our departure evening. The game room was fantastic fun for everyone The chef, security guard and daily cleaning were all exceptional. A short trip to the owners ( Tahia) gem store, just down the road, is well worth it!! All in all, our best family trip ever.

Phenomenal House with Amazing Customer Service

We traveled here last month with our friends and fell in love at first sight. Caroline was very quick and thorough in her communications with us, and just a lovely human being. All staff were amazing - Fifi did a wonderful job cleaning and we enjoyed our private security guard. Highly recommend doing the traditional Tahitian dance lesson and having Fifi cook you a local style dinner. It was such a treat and our friends said both of these activities were in their top three highlights of the trip. The kitchen had everything we needed for making meals for 8 people, the only thing missing was a drinking water dispenser for the giant 5 gallon jugs of drinking water (cannot drink from the tap anywhere in Tahiti), but we bought one so hopefully it is there for us next time to use. Limited screens on the windows and door so we kept the house closed most of the time to avoid mosquitos, but it was cool enough weather in late September to do so. The house itself is a gorgeous space, very comfortable, tastefully decorated. We have already booked for next year and would recommend this beautiful space to everyone. A huge mauruuru to Caroline and Fifi for making our stay so memorable. Na na till next time! Sara and Tim

Best location in Moorea

We stayed at Fare Varari villa with my kids and grandkids, 9 total. The villa is luxurious with new large bathrooms, 5 stars bedding and towels. The beach in the front of the house is amazing; the best spot is Moorea for swimming, kayaking and let the kids play on the sand and shallow water. We stayed last year at the Sofitel and this house could bit the Sofitel on every aspect. Everything is at the house for you to enjoy for a perfect vacation! Fifi prepared for us one night an outstanding BBQ diner with local delicious dishes. Caroline arranged for us Fire dances by local dancers and band. This was a remarkable night! Highly recommended. The house and location exceeded our expectations. Caroline, property manager, was in contact with me before and during our trip to make our trip remarkable and help us to book few activities.

Special Property and Incredible Experience

We had a magical stay at Fare Varari. The property is beautiful and the views of the lagoon, reef, sunset, etc. are truly captivating in person. Our family of 2 adults and 3 young-ish children particularly enjoyed the hot tub, the game room, the hammock and the open air pavilion next to the main house. Bedrooms/bathrooms were all very nice and the kitchen suited us well. It is obvious that a lot of thought has been put into making the property and its amenities first-rate. We spent much of our time snorkeling in the coral gardens that begin mere feet from the shoreline and kayaking further out into the lagoon. Caroline, the property manager was responsive, friendly and helpful. The overnight security guard and cleaning lady (Melody?) were was also lovely and helpful. Moorea has a special place in our hearts and we are anxious to return. When we do, I can’t imagine we’d stay anywhere else; it was simply perfect for us. Mauruuru!

Fabulous Villa on Morrea

Gorgeous villa on a beautiful beach with lovely calm water. Each room is well appointed with a beautiful bathroom. The outdoors has a variety of places to hang out and we used them all! The studio has a wonderful game party room that we enjoyed late night. The villa is equipped with a number of kayaks and new snorkel sets for 10! There are floats as well and a ping pong table that we loved. The grounds are beautiful. Caroline, the house manager, is exceptional! Extremely attentive, responsive, answered all questions and followed through on everything quickly. So friendly as we arrived and gave us a complete tour of the property and lovely fresh leis. Friendly stingrays swim by. We kayaked one morning and encountered 20 dolphin playing and jumping and spinning in the air, right by us! The snorkeling is lovely with reefs right out front. We loved our stay and hope to return sometime! It is a unique gorgeous spot and managed perfectly! Highly recommend!

Idyllic home on a quiet lagoon

On arrival we were greeted by Caroline, the house manager, with leis and a refreshing fruit platter. Caroline is lovely and this was so welcoming. The house is very nicely furnished and comfortable and there was plenty of room for all eight of us, with lots of fun activities at our fingertips. After enjoying the beach and the lagoon, we loved playing ping pong before dinner, and after dinner, going to the clubhouse for a game of pool, foosball, board games, etc. The house has three kayaks and some snorkeling gear, as well as floaties and life vests. Our one suggestion would be to provide a couple of SUP boards and a full supply of ice on arrival (gin & tonics were a must for us and we had to wait for the water in the ice trays to freeze). Fifi, the house cleaner, prepared a delicious dinner one evening, to help us celebrate my milestone birthday. We had all eight of us plus a couple of friends, that had been on the National Geographic cruise. It was a very memorable evening and enjoyed by all. I highly recommend this stunning home for any group wanting to spend time on this beautiful island in comfort and luxury.

Great location, Beautiful beach, toxic host

Lovely house. Great location next to the best restaurants on the island. House was a bit dated but in good condition, all things considered. There is no AC in the main living area which limits the time you can spend together. Hot tub didn’t work and they never fixed it because there wasn’t an electrician on the island. Host was horrible and the checkout process ruined our trip. I asked the host for checkout instructions 2 hours before checkout. She said don’t worry about it. She shows up and starts acting extremely rude because the dishes weren’t done and the trash wasn’t taken out. When I asked why she didn’t tell us to clean everything, she didn’t even reply and just shook her head in disgust. She then told me I would be charged for the dishes and clean up. Outside of that absurd request, I offered to call it even because the hot tub was broke all week. Here’s the cherry on top, she accused us of leaving the dishes to get “revenge” for the hot tub not working and even went so far to say we probably broke the hot tub. If you care about CX and relaxing, stay away from these people. I saved all the whats app communications so you can see first hand how you will be treated. Feel free to email me for more information if you’re really considering booking.

Paradise

This is our second time staying at Fare Varari. We stayed there right before Covid and loved it - and came back as soon as we could! The place was even more perfect than before. They had made significant improvements - added two full bathrooms, air conditioning in each bedroom, new furniture, new kitchen remodel, a full outside shower and bathroom, plus a great game room with pool, foosball and a hang-out space. It was like having an amazing beach resort to yourself. The location could not be better - a spectacular beach, with some of the best snorkeling on the island right in front. We spent so much time in the water and in the kayaks that they provide. Caroline is extremely responsive and an absolute gem to work with. We were there with our extended family of 9 - 2 teens (who stayed in the back bungalow and had a blast, also a nice addition), 2 kids, two couples and grandma. We had plenty of space. We did not even realize that the housekeeper would also do laundry - that was a nice perk. We cooked many of our own meals, because there really isn't a better view in any restaurant on the island :) but Caroline also helpfully arranged dinner reservations. We hope to be back!!
