About this property

Welcome to Over Water Bungalow « TAHATAI ITI » your vacation paradise in Bora Bora!
This very exclusive over water bungalow overlooks the crystal blue waters of the lagoon and offers incredible romantic sunsets as well as a lot of privacy making it the perfect spot for both honeymooners and families.
This unique over water bungalow (1200 square-foot -110 m2) is part of a famous luxury complex started by the famous American actors Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson. There are only 5 privately owned over water bungalows in Bora Bora. 2 out of the 5 were the property of Marlon Brando, another one was the property of his very good friend Jack Nicholson and our over water bungalow is next to the one that Jack Nicholson used to own.

Our over water bungalow accomodation includes 2 bedrooms with air conditioning and with their own separate bathroom, a modern full kitchen fit for a chef, a spacious living room and a large covered terrace-lanai overlooking the lagoon.

Enjoy the placid waters of the lagoon with its extraordinary colourful tropical fish allowing endless snorkeling in turquoise and pristine warm waters! If you wish to take a dip in the warm waters, nothing could be simpler. Just go down to your private dock and dive in.
Our over water bungalow is the perfect location for snorkeling and swimming and the bungalow comes with two kayaks.

Tahiti, the port of entry of French Polynesia is linked by non stop scheduled flights to Los Angeles, San Francisco, NZ, Japan, Hawaii, Australia and with one stop to Paris and most european cities. From Tahiti, a 45-minute-flight takes you to Bora Bora.
The internal airline company in French Polynesia is Air Tahiti. There are 9 flight connections per day between Tahiti and Bora Bora. You can directly book your flights online on the website of Air Tahiti.

The plane from Tahiti lands in Bora Bora on motu mute, an offshore islet.Then a free shuttle brings you across the lagoon to Vaitape, Bora Bora's main village. On the wharf in Vaitape, you will pick up your rental car and drive in 15 minutes to our house.

Car rental
Because there is no public transport service on Bora Bora, you need to rent a car to be independant on the island during your stay . It is essential to go shopping, to go to the restaurant or to visit Bora Bora. You can directly book your rental car online on AVIS car rental company website.

This piece of paradise is very much in demand. So book early in advance your South Pacific vacation and contact us today !
With the pleasure to have you as guests at our over water bungalow « TAHATAI ITI »!

Splendid OWB

Excellent spacious 2-bed 2-bathroom over-water bungalow (OWB) with huge shaded motu-view outside deck area. Very much bigger OWB than in any of the chain resorts. Remote location, so hire a car as Pierre recommends. Noisier than expected, with the ubiquitous Polynesian cockerels from 5am, plus significant road noise affecting the rear bedroom day and night. So bring earplugs. Well equipped kitchen including a freezer, dishwasher etc. Our first OWB with a splendid Miele washing machine plus condenser tumble dryer! We had strong winds and some heavy rain during our 5 night stay, so sadly did not use the 3 kayaks. The nice bathrooms both have very smooth slippery tiling, so the shower stalls really ought to have anti-slip mats for safety. Superb wifi, fast enough to run Netflix if you bring a ChromeCast, or similar gadget. Overall an excellent 2nd stay for us on Bora-Bora despite the dreadful weather and limited options for dining out. Definitely need to pre-book restaurant tables to avoid disappointment. Alternatively, the supermarkets in Viatape have upgraded since our 2019 visit, with Chin Lee much enlarged. Wider choice but pricey. Pierre was extremely helpful and informative. Thank you Pierre.

A great over-water option at a great price!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the over-water bungalow. It is fun jumping right in the water from the bungalow. The owner, Pierre, is super responsive. The rooms are very nice and clean. We highly recommend staying here!

Perfect Getaway

I could only wish that all VRBO owners were like Pierre. He had everything organized and detailed about arriving, departure and everything in-between. The bungalow was perfect for my wife, daughter and I. We snorkled and kayaked almost everyday. You really cant ask for a much better place in Bore Bora. Thank you Pierre for a wonderful experience!

Magnificent with a Fine Tahitian Touch

Stunning views from a well laid out overwater bungalow. Well equipped residence with beautiful photos and artwork of Tahitian individuals. One could snorkel right off the bungalow dock itself, if desired. Convenient location not far from Vaitape on one side of the island and Matira Beach on the other side. The bathrooms are a little tight, especially for tall people, but otherwise a great property.

Perfect OWB for a family

We stayed for 7 nights and found this bungalow perfect for our family of four. The washer and dryer and kitchen were so useful during our stay. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the deck over the water a dream to chill out on. The bungalow is beautifully decorated and furnished so much more than what you get at a resort. Pierre’s communication was very detailed and efficient in every way

Beautiful Bora Bora Bungalow

Looking for an authentic over water bungalow without spending thousands per night at a motu resort? Pierre’s Villa Tahatai Iti is the place. It has everything you will need for a spectacular Bora Bora vacation. We especially enjoyed eating meals on the deck watching the myriad of boats passing by. The sensation of living right on the lagoon is hypnotizing. Pierre provides the most precise information about the villa and the island I have ever seen during many years renting private vacation properties. His restaurant and activity recommendations are spot on. We especially enjoyed exploring the lagoon on a pontoon boat rented from Le Plage at unbelievably beautiful Matira Beach. We are so thankful to have experienced the real Bora Bora by staying at Pierre’s over water bungalow.

Tahitian Dream on Bora Bora

25th Anniversary spent with my wife and two adult children (17 & 20). Pierre's bungalow could not have been more perfect. The flexibility to do nothing, or everything (full kitchen) was so nice to have the choice. The spacious condo gave us room to enjoy every minute. We stepped off the private dock into the water to see Eagle Rays, a Green Moray Eel, an Octopus and several beautiful fish. A wonderful vacation; we have and will recommend this condo to anyone.

Bora Bora condo

The property was everything and more as per the description and our expectations. Pierre is an excellent host. The condo is very modern in terms of its amenities. The information supplied for our stay went above and beyond. We enjoyed the sunsets and observing the species of fish that came around in the evening and early morning. Could not have asked for a better experience in our stay.

Ten stars

This place was perfect for our one week stay in Bora Bora. The home is so beautiful and being over the water was magical. We kayaked, snorkeled, jet skied, and went scuba diving but our favorite thing was just relaxing on the porch watching the ocean water. Thank you to Pierre for his great communication and for sharing this precious place with others.

Lovely dreamy bungalow

We swam in the lagoon and enjoyed the beautiful views from the deck. The feeling of getting away from it all permeated the place. It’s an escape- a retreat into nature and peace. Kitchen and washer dryer work well. The wood floors are gorgeous and the beds are comfortable. We feel so lucky to have spent time together in this beautiful bungalow

4 Perfect Nights in Paradise

What a great place to stay in one of the most beautiful locations on earth. These overwater bungalows make for a great way to enjoy the Bora Bora atmosphere at a fraction of the cost of the big resorts. Kayaking and snorkeling right off the dock were a daily treat before setting off to explore the real Bora Bora which we loved vs. the manicured resort experience. Pierre was a great host with tons of communication before our arrival and great recommendations on what to do and see on the island. Our only regret is that we didn't have longer to enjoy this near perfect accommodation.

Lovely Place

Lovely bungalow right on the water. There are kayaks provided and you can use them right outside the bungalow which we enjoyed. We bought snorkel gear from one of the local shops and could snorkel right outside the bungalow as well. Very windy area. You will need to rent a car. It’s on the north end of the island about 15 mins from most restaurants. The kitchen was stocked with everything you’d need to cook. It’s a more affordable alternative to the resorts and you still get an overwater bungalow. Me, my mom and boyfriend really enjoyed Pierre’s place.

We absolutely loved everything about this bungalow and Bora Bora. Everything is very laid back and even though we had plans to do many more things, we enjoyed the over the water bungalow so much that we hung out there more than we thought we would.

Trip of a Lifetime

The overwater bungalow was perfect. Everything pictured and described on the web site was accurate. We loved our week at the bungalow. The location was good and we spent many hours out on the deck enjoying the beautiful water. Snorkeling right off the deck provided many beautiful fish and one day a huge moorea eel. A car was a must and Pierre was so nice as to guide us to car rental verses scooters. You will need a car to get to restaurants and store. We had several nice dinners out and even did some cooking, which the kitchen was set up for with everything we needed. Our favorite restaurant was St James which had amazing service and water views for dinner. They also have a bakery which we visited one morning for delicious croissants. Overall the four of us loved the bungalow and felt so fortunate to have the over water location for the week. Thanks Pierre

Bora Bora bungalow experience!

My daughter and I were blown away by how wonderful an over the water bungalow stay can be. It was the most beautiful setting and relaxed stay I have ever experienced. Altho we had a rental car and there were many excursions possible, we found that just staying in the bungalow itself was the main event. It was so lovely to be surrounded by the beautiful, clear turquoise waters! Tho we circled the island by car, what we loved the most was just spending time in the bungalow itself where we could swim, paddle, use our floaties, lounge on the front covered deck, spot colorul fish, and enjoy to the fullest the once in a lifetime ambiance of the bungalow itself!!
