Practical
Phone +689 87 70 28 89 (compendium). Dinner needs 24 hours' advance reservation. Wifi: they did not ask for money, but cruisers recommend paying about 1,000 XPF; one crew paid 1,000 XPF for 4 days (2020). Bike rental 800 XPF/day (2020). Prices are 2020, so verify locally. Position approximate: placed in Otepa village just SE of the main quay, derived from the compendium's walking directions; confirm on arrival. The commune's 2019 profile counts 8 snacks and 1 pizzeria on Hao, so there are more options than cruiser reports name; ask in the village.
Best for
A home-cooked Paumotu dinner and decent wifi
