Practical

Coordinate from the map pin on the Tahiti Tourisme listing (-15.830075, -145.115577), at the south end of the village near Magasin Raka. Tahiti Tourisme lists 3 bungalows plus a central house for up to 6 people, maximum 12 guests, cash only, tel +689 87 20 69 14, with hammocks, deckchairs, kayaks and bicycles. It asks guests to use water sparingly because Tuamotu water is limited. The listing doesn't mention meals or prices. Ask in person whether they will cook a meal for visiting sailors or rent a bike for the ride out the east-rim road. Useful as a place to put up visiting crew who fly in to Kauehi.
