Cocoperle Lodge (Ahe)

A small family eco-lodge of 6 beach bungalows with a bar-restaurant on Ahe; guests are met by boat at the airport.
Practical
Position from the Tahiti Tourisme listing (14.463774 S, 146.224187 W), matching the OpenStreetMap 'Pension Cocoterie lodge' buildings, on the motu about 1.2 km south of Pension Raita on Ahe's east side. Tahiti Tourisme lists 6 units for up to 22 guests, open all year, phone +689 40 96 44 08 (2026 listing). The lodge's own site lists a bar/restaurant, fishing and activities, free Wi-Fi and a 3-tiare eco rating. Cruiser experience is mixed: Jacaranda (2016) emailed and phoned three times for a dinner booking and never got a reply, while earlier friends had excellent visits. Contact well ahead; do not count on a table. Approach only via the marked pass-to-airport channel; locals warn against cutting along the south side of the lagoon.
