Pension Teramanu (Fakarava)

16° 30.8′ S · 145° 27.7′ W · approximate

Annabelle's guesthouse at the south pass, known to cruisers for its buffet lunches and a private mooring just across from its dock.

Practical

Soggy Paws reports: lunch 1,800 XPF and dinner 2,000 XPF per person, with dives 5,500 XPF (May 2011); a buffet lunch at 3,000 XPF, reservation advised (May 2017). Verify locally. In 2011 the pension's mooring lay in the pass across from its dock and was free, with an expectation that you dine or dive with them; it rode noticeably better than the other boats in N-NW winds. Jacaranda (2016) names the owners of the Tetamanu pension as Annabelle and Sane, so this is probably the same business as Tetamanu Village; confirm locally. Coordinate approx: placed at the Tetamanu waterfront.
