About this cottage rental
Cottage Nahe is a Polynesian-style home for up to 4 guests in Papeete, on the island of Tahiti. With its charming tropical garden and two air-conditioned bedrooms, it offers a comfortable, authentic setting just minutes from downtown.
Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, Cottage Nahe is only a few minutes from the city center, the waterfront, and all of Papeete’s amenities. It blends Polynesian authenticity, modern comfort, and a peaceful atmosphere. This warm, locally styled home is the perfect base for exploring Tahiti and its way of life.
The cottage is part of a small residential complex of three homes. The other two are occupied year-round by residents, which keeps the setting calm and secure.
Access is through the complex’s shared entrance, and one private parking space is provided free of charge.
Out of respect for the peace of the property and its residents, we kindly ask guests to keep noise to a minimum. Parties and noisy events are not permitted.
A warm, thoughtfully decorated interior
As soon as you step inside, you’ll be welcomed by décor inspired by Polynesian traditions. Natural seashells, exotic wood furniture, colorful tropical-print cushions, handcrafted pieces, and local artwork give the home real personality.
In Tahitian, nahe is the lush fern that carpets the green valleys and flourishes all over the island, a symbol of Tahiti’s generous nature.
The main room, which serves as both living and dining area, opens onto a lovely covered terrace, perfect for relaxing and spending time together. The fully equipped open kitchen has everything you need to cook your favorite meals.
Two air-conditioned bedrooms with king-size beds ensure a restful night’s sleep.
A bathroom with shower and a separate second toilet complete the interior.
Free high-speed fiber Wi-Fi is available.
Cottage Nahe is ideal for a small family or 4 adults. It is also well suited to longer stays, such as business assignments, temporary expats, remote workers, and long-term travelers who want to explore French Polynesia in depth.
We strongly recommend renting a car for the duration of your stay. Our concierge team will be happy to help you arrange it.

The leafy garden is ideal for breakfast outdoors, sunset drinks with friends, or simply relaxing in the shade.

6 / 10Average·May 2026
This could have been a 5/5 stay, but ultimately the lack of A/C in the living areas was a deal breaker for us. It became so uncomfortable that we left two nights into our eight-night stay. While the property was advertised as air conditioned, this only applied to the bedrooms, with the rest of the house sitting at 27°C+. Opening the doors for air let mosquitoes in, and there was a latticed opening from the bathroom to the outside that also allowed bugs to enter. While there was a fan in the common areas, its reach was limited.
The listing places the property at a 2-minute drive from the Papeete Markets, but it was more like 7–8 minutes (not a major issue, just worth noting). Neighboring dogs and roosters were heard several times, and while this didn't bother me, it did wake my husband several times. We also couldn’t locate the smoke alarm, so we’d recommend confirming the safety features.
That said, the home itself was gorgeous - thoughtfully furnished, immaculate, and very well equipped. It's clear a lot of care has gone into the setup and presentation of the property - the additional powder room was a great surprise and very useful. The management company was responsive and booked us a wonderful Moorea lagoon tour. The recommendation to rent a car was spot on.
With A/C added to the common areas and better measures in place to keep mosquitoes out, this place would have been perfect. We genuinely hope those changes are made, because the property was otherwise wonderful.
