Balinese style wooden house just steps from the beach

Fare Makana is a Balinese-style wooden house located in a gated neighborhood on the northern coast of Moorea Island, French Polynesia.

This holiday home in Moorea is only at few steps of a beautiful white sand beach with shallow clear waters lagoon.
The beach is accessible thanks to a path situated right in front of the property.

The property features 2 bedrooms and 1 mezzanine (all with double beds + air conditionning). There are two bathrooms.
There is also a living room with a fully equipped kitchen opening onto a terrace. The mezzanine is right above the living room.

The 4th bedroom (air conditionning) is an independent bungalow with a double bed and a private bathroom (sink, shower and wc) situated at the end of the wooden deck.

The holiday home, Fare Makana, sleeps comfortably 8 persons in 4 double beds.
We recommend it for one or two families.

The property has air conditioning in the bedrooms and fans are also available.

This vacation rental has no fence around but the garden is nicely planted along a small canal, and the neighborhood quiet and lovely.
It also features 2 kayaks.
You will be able to take the kayaks down easily thanks to a small descent at the back of the garden that leads to the canal.

The property is not children proof, please watch your young children at all times. The house is on stilts, so a little bit over the land and has no fence around the terrace to guard the children.
It is also located close to a small laguna with no security fence.

IMPORTANT NOTE :
For any stay longer than 7 nights, an electricity fee will be charged.

Fiber optic - Free WIFI and one kayak available for your stay.

Beautiful home with access to very private lagoon
We enjoyed our stay in the Balinese style house. With a couple of the bedrooms separate from the main house, it offered more privacy for some members of our party of seven. The kitchen is well-stocked. There are two kayaks for us to use. Restaurants are close by. We especially enjoyed the access to the small lagoon which is good for snorkeling and kayaking.

Nice place but too many keys
We enjoyed the house and location but the number of keys to lock up the house was really crazy! Also, lighting in the bedrooms need improvement. Too dark. Very clean and open with good beach access. Too bad about the keys!

Amazing Balinese Bungalows
This property was amazing. we cam with our family, adult daughters and partners. there are multiple bungalows on property, with covered walkways between them. the wood work of the property is epic. stunning woodwork inside and out. its a super open floor plan ; but yet somehow the AC units still work amazing well if you want AC. we went in January and the heat was no problem , with fans and the rain. the property sits right on a canal that has instant kayak access to the lagoon. the two kayaks are great. would 10/10 recommend, and for sure we would come again.

Beautiful stay
My husband and I stayed here for the first part of our honeymoon. We really enjoyed the extra space and stayed in one of the bungalows. The house is so thoughtfully built with gorgeous materials. The lagoon access was so nice and fun to explore via kayak. I can't recommend this place enough. We miss it already!

Excellent location & wonderful house
We spent 3 nights at the Fare Makana in June. The house corresponded exactly to the pictures on VRBO website and perfect for 4 couples. We would like to give a special thanks to the neighbor who welcomed us the first night, he was very helpful.

Pure Magic!
This place is incredible! The layout is perfect, the craftsmanship is stunning! It's a very short walk to the beach (30 seconds)...and the beach is absolute heaven. I can't wait to come back, and this is the place that I want to stay again.

Open Air Paradise
Gorgeous open-air home with Balinese architecture. 2 bedrooms ensuite are unattached bungalows with also a main floor master bedroom and upstairs loft with additional sleeping for 3. Great boat launch right from property to a small river which goes out into the lagoon and the private beach is a short walk away (and sunsets from the west). Good snorkeling but don't go out too far as there is a current. Also, if rain then sun, mosquitoes in the open-air home should be planned for. OVERALL, A GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Beautiful Balinese Bungalow
The Balinese style house and bungalows are unique...a very different form of construction, with many sliding doors. The wood used is beautiful. The soffits are open and not screened which allows bugs into the house and the cold air from the A/C to escape. There is no A/C in the main part of the houses so it was very warm. The location is good and it really is just steps from the beach.

My wife already wants to go back.
This was my wife’s favorite place. It is clean and spacious. We stayed here with our two teenage children and my wife’s parents and had plenty of space. Three of the four bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. The loft is perfect for kids. The loft has low ceilings. Our son is 6’4” and hit his head a few times. The other three rooms are terrific for couples or a family. The outdoor living space is fantastic. The beach is just across quiet gravel road and down a path. It is a beautiful quiet beach. Outdoor shower helps keep sand out of bedrooms when coming back from beach. We used the grill and enjoyed lots of local seafood. Can’t say enough about this place. It is peaceful, quiet and relaxing.

Family vacay
Amazing property for our family. The property is Just a 30 second walk to the beach/ocean with amazing snorkeling. The two bungalows allowed tween/teen boys to have their own space. Home was well-equipped with everything for cooking meals at home. Air con was great in the bedrooms and fans are provided. Bonus was Netflix/amazon access and exceptional wifi, better than what we currently have in Arizona. . The only downside was the amount of keys needed to access all the different rooms. Would be nice to have had one master key. Management was very responsive to a very small issue we had with a locked door.

The perfect stay for our family
What a great experience and lovely neighborhood. The checkin process was thorough and friendly. The house has so much space and privacy as there are two bungalow type bedroom/baths on the property that are semi-detached. There is a short path to the beach and the water is pristine and perfect for snorkeling and water time with kids. A car is needed as the nearest stores are a short drive away. Communication with property manager was great. We hope to return and would love to stay at this same property

Lovely comfortable house near beautiful beach
Lovely, clean house. 2 minutes walk to the beach. Great snorkeling and calm waters which was great for the kids. The only downside was the biting midges. Don’t know if that’s a seasonal thing or what. The house was well maintained and super clean. The only issue was losing power but that was resolve in a day. Overall it was a very nice experience. Laina, the property manager was super attentive.
