The Lodge is location on a hillside offering the visitor a wonderful panoramic view across the bay of Tailhoae, with its many visiting Transpacific yachts that stop off for rest and re-provisioning. The property has just completed (Feb 18) a small refurbishment of rooms and public areas, just updating and maintenance work.
The lodge offers two grades of accommodation with 16 deluxe bungalows and 4 premium bungalows. They are all built of local materials and decorated with individual wall carvings sculptured by local artists.
The bungalows provide a mixture of Polynesian simple elegance and European comforts with private bathrooms, air conditioning, mini-bar, telephone, TV/video and a terrace.
The restaurant/bar offers spectacular views over the freshwater swimming pool to the bay and beyond. There is a paved outside terrace where you can sip your evening cocktail and dine under the stars. Tailhoae Bay's black sand beach is just a short walk down the hill.
Because Nuka Hiva airport is on the opposite side of the island from the Lodge, you have two choices with regard to transfers to and from the Lodge. Either by helicopter to Tailhoae then a taxi to the Lodge (this takes between 15-20 minutes) or travel in a 4-wheel drive vehicle over the mountains which takes approximately two hours. We would suggest that you try both; one on arrival the other on departure. The views of the island's coastline from the helicopter and the vistas afforded from the tops of the mountains are breathtaking, as are some of the sheer drops over the sides of the mountain ridge roads!

Although there are frequent
international flights into Tahiti, French Polynesia's international
gateway to the World, there are limited airports of embarkation to
choose from, with currently only Paris, Los Angeles, Auckland and
Tokyo offering single plane air service to Tahiti.
The international airline for French Polynesia. is Air Tahiti
Nui, who operate daily flights from Paris and Los
Angeles to Tahiti, and on some days there are additional fights
to/from Los Angeles. In addition, they operate two weekly flights
to/from Auckland and they serve Tokyo twice a week. Their services
to New York and Sydney have been suspended, at this
time.
Air France
currently offer a service from Paris, three times a week via Los
Angeles
Air New Zealand
operates daily flights via LA to Papeete, and 5 days a week from/to
Auckland with it's own aircraft. It also operates a codeshare
arrangements with Air Tahiti Nui providing seats on their fights
from Tahiti to Auckland and Los Angeles.
United Airlines operate 3 times a week from San Francisco to Papeete, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, with a new flight starting October 2018, which will connect to their daily flight from Heathrow.
Air Calin
operate a weekly flight between Noumea, in New Caledonia, and
Tahiti.
Hawaiian
Airlines provide a weekly service between Honolulu and
Tahiti, currently operating on a Saturday/Sunday schedule.
LANChile
operate a flight once a week from Santiago to Tahiti via
Easter Island, providing the availability to do a great side trip
from Tahiti to Easter island.
Air Tahiti is
French Polynesia's domestic airline, which operates an extensive
domestic flight network covering all the country's main islands,
with at least a daily service. With the main Society islands
receiving a number of flights a day, since Air Moorea stopped
operations between Tahiti and Moorea, the flight connections now to
Moorea have become limited, most connections between the two are
now done by ferry boat.
The less populated and outer islands have a restricted service, so
sometimes a night stop in Tahiti may be required when connecting to
these islands.
Air Tahiti
provide the only air service between Tahiti and the Cook islands,
which they currently do once a week on a Thursday, an extra high
season flight is operated between June and August
There are a number of aircraft and helicopters available for private charters, but they all tend to be based in Tahiti so arranging charters between the outer islands can be expensive as the aircraft will originate and terminate in Tahiti. Starting in spring 2013, there will be a new seaplane operation available. The aircraft will be based in Tahiti and will be available for sightseeing tours from Papeete, as well as private transfers to the outer islands. This could add an exciting experience to your trip!

If you would like to have a look at a seat plan for your aircraft, check the airlines' own website, or one of the best independent websites for this information is SeatGuru.com, which is part of the Tripadvisor group. to find information on your particular airline.
