We remodeled the bungalow to meet the needs of our sophisticated travelers and it is beautiful. Marlon Brando owned two bungalows, one for him and one for his friends. We have purchased both. Both Brando's Bora Bora Bungalow and Marlon's over water hideaway are the perfect location for snorkeling, walking hiking and swimming. Paradise surrounds you.

An unforgettable experience at Richard’s beautiful over water bungalow. Couldn’t ask for a more beautiful getting. The bungalow itself is comfortable, spacious and inviting. Thank you for your hospitality. We look forward to returning!
We loved Richard’s place! What a location - we spent all our time outside, enjoying the view and crystal clear waters (highly recommend snorkeling, especially in the morning - lots of surprise marine visitors passing by :-) in a quiet part of the island. Check in and car rental with Nir and Tiare was absolutely flawless, great communication. We will be back!!

Thank you Veronika, I am so happy you had a great time on Bora Bora and our over water bungalow. I hope to welcome you back sometime soon! All the best, Richard
What a gorgeous setting with a magical view. We loved our stay at the Bungalow. It was spacious and comfortably housed our family of 4. It had basic kitchen supplies and we were able to enjoy breakfast and dinners on the large under roof patio watching the sun set with sea life all around.
When I arrived there was a small issue with the power in the unit. Not had it resolved within 20 minutes. He was helpful and attentive! Beautiful location, amazing value!

Hi Zach, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay! And happy that Nir was able to fix the electrical. He is really the best!
We absolutely LOVED our stay here! Everything was exactly as described and we enjoyed every second of our stay! From snorkeling off the dock, playing cribbage on the deck at sunset, and getting the surprise of a lifetime when a flying fish paid us a visit, soaring out of the water twice in dramatic fashion! And a couple visits by rays as well!!!The rental car from Nir was so convenient, and he and his wife were available to us for all our needs! Phenomenal vacation! I hope we get to do it again someday!
We loved being over the water and able to get in and out of the water so easily. We had plenty of space for dive and snorkel gear. It was very peaceful to sit on the deck and watch the boats and fish. One night a manta ray swam by. The host was helpful and when we had a couple of issues he managed to get them resolved very quickly. Great trip.

We were pleased with the unit, just didn't realize it was so close to the main road but since Bora Bora only has one main road I guess it was inevitable! The bungalows were nice but a bit old. The deck was spacious and covered but if you wanted to lay in the sun at all it had to be on the small deck with the ladder leading to the water. It was only about 15 minutes from down town so that was nice. Over all our stay was restful and very nice. Our host arranged a snorkle / lunch tour and they picked us up right at our dock.
We had a fantastic stay at the bungalows! Our group of seven rented both two-bedroom units and found them to be spacious and comfortable. The location offers a relaxed, local vibe while still being conveniently close to town. A rental car is definitely recommended—and can be arranged if needed.We spent a lot of time enjoying the patio and swim area, where we saw an abundance of sea life. The double kayaks were a great bonus and added to the experience.Nir and his wife were incredibly helpful and always quick to respond, and the owner, Richard, was also very easy to communicate with.For anyone interested in diving, we highly recommend booking a dive with Hiro, located just down the road. Overall, a wonderful stay and we'd gladly return!
Our expectations for this bungalow were very high and were fulfilled in every way. The property managers were so helpful in providing a car rental and transfer from the ferry terminal. The view was sensational across the lagoon to the sunset and passing outriggers. We couldn't have made a better choice!

I am so happy you enjoyed your stay with us. I know you were very careful when choosing a place, so it makes me very happy to know you both were pleased with the outcome!
LOVED staying here! We were here for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved the spaciousness and comfort of the bungalow, snorkeling off the deck, watching the sunrise and sunsets, lounging on the deck. Communication was great. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful stay, easy to get around definitely rent a car! Nir was wonderful and helped with everything we needed.
The over water bungalow was clean and convenient. We could snorkel right outside and saw a lot of fish. Nir and Tiare were very helpful with suggestions and recommendations and even helped us book the activities. Renting the car from Nir was hassle free. Highly recommend this place and look forward to visiting again.
Property and property manager were magical—a beautiful stay from beginning to end. No big resort over-water bungalow pretensions, instead, we had freedom to see all of Bora Bora (by renting a car from Nir), help with logistics and activities planning (thanks Nir and Tiare!), and sublime times snorkeling, floating, cooking, and relaxing in the bungalow. Loved this stay!!!
We had a great two weeks at this bungalow in beautiful Bora Bora! It was spacious, well appointed, right over the water as advertised, private, and convenient by car to town, beach, shops, Heiva festival, and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again when we return to Bora Bora. Maururu!
This was just what I was looking for, a place away from crowds but not isolated. It's clean and simple, not a lot of frills but has all the necessities. My stay was very enjoyable. Hope to come back someday and would definitely look to stay here again too.
The property is well equipped, clean and beautiful location. The property manager, Nir and his wife, were very helpful, responsive and made the trip outstanding with great suggestions. The cell phone and car were extemely convenient and let us enjoy this beautiful place even more.. hope to be back soon
The property was everything we were hoping for, and had everything that we needed. We enjoyed the location at the north of the island, as we felt more of a local vibe. We definitely needed the car to get around, and Nir and Tiare made the client car easy and reasonably priced. Bora Bora is the most beautiful place I have ever been, and I plan to return someday in the future.
