Chez Nono Bora Bora Lodge

Did the all day snorkelling tour round Bora bora and recommend. Especially if you are staying nearby, near Matira Beach. Good sites and home made lunch on the sandy reef. Saw 30 plus rays and swam with 3 scary looking sharks. Bonus is the really good musicianship from the crew. Kept bursting into song between dive sites. Quite gifted band and obviously practice a lot.

We booked the snorkeling tour last minute. This turned out to be the highlight of our trip. The captain and crew are amazing. They were so friendly and kind. They really wanted everyone to be safe and have fun. They drove around looking for the rays so that people can see them. I didn’t know how to swim so they were so attentive with me and the little kids. The boat ride was a pleasure. We made four snorkeling stops. We saw black tip sharks, stingrays, rays, and coral gardens. During the ride; the staff performed amazing songs for us: I can’t explain the happiness we felt hearing the songs, looking at the amazing water , and feeling the breeze in our faces. We stopped for lunch on a Motu. They made us a traditional lunch. We had leaf plates and ate with our hands. We swam in the warm ocean while they cooked. The best part of our trip was here and we will never forget it. Thank you!

Did not stay there, but I did the full day Lagoon Tour with them. It was fabulous! The nice crew was amazing. They were so friendly, polite, funny and helpful. They entertained us the whole day. Lunch was so delicious and we saw Sharks, Stingrays, even Manta Rays! Perfect day, highly recommended to book with them. Its cheaper than other companies and pick up and drop off is included.

We didn't stay at the lodge, but went on their lagoon tour (Teremoana day tour) and loved it! While the group was slightly too big for our taste, the crew was so engaging and keen to share their knowledge that we really didn't mind. The actvities encompass snorkeling with reef sharks, eagle rays and if you're lucky manta rays, as well as a boat tour of the lagoon with a well given explanation of the sites and views, as well as an amazing homemade lunch on a motu. The crew is exceptional, they're skippers, musicians, cooks, story tellers, dancers and weavers - they really do it all and it really feels like they're happy to share their knowledge with visitors. The highlight for me was that, after years spent battling coconuts, I finally found a teacher that showed me how to open and concur my old coconut nemesis!

Amazing day tour, everything was perfect. Stunning views, awesome wildlife (rays including manta and eagle, black tip reef sharks), delicious food, but above all the crew was so nice, explanations were captivating and the music made everything magical. We had the most perfect day with them, thank you so much !

We booked three days (we wanted six, but they were not available) and I miss the place already. I am an architect who worked on hotels for years, and for me, Chez Nono has the best amenities and value for money that I have ever seen--it has comforts and not luxuries--in the sense that it has everything our family needed, and with plenty of space, quiet, privacy, security, and direct access to the most beautiful beach and ocean/reef view I have ever seen.||The staff is friendly, and everything is proudly tended. I loved every minute of my stay there, and I want to go back...it's on the best beach in Bora Bora, and on the best side, with a view of the sunset...an absolute premium. Conveniently located, I don't know how we could have selected a better place.||Now the secret it out! Thank you, Chez Nono! (English Translation: Chez Yes yes)

Me and my husband spent four days at Chez Nono for our honeymoon and I must say it’s been fabulous! We stayed in the villa, a very comfortable accommodation with a stunning view on the lagoon and a private beach. Chez Nono is located in the heart of Matira beach, a few minute walking distance from restaurants, a roulotte and a mini market. Beds are really comfortable, we slept so good! The kitchen is fully equipped. You can see the stimgrays swim in front of you, it’s just a paradise! We also had a full day excursion in the lagoon and it was amazing. We swam with black tip sharks and stingrays and we also saw two big manta rays. We had lunch on a wonderful motu, the food was delicious (poisson cru, grilled tuna, coconut bread, banana pudding, watermelon and the best pineapple I’ve ever tasted!). Our tour guides are simply great! We loved them, they also made some music for su during the trip. Before heading back to the guesthouse we also had a stop at the coral garden, a paradise full of fish. I want to mention the sweet lady from Tahaa who works at Chez Nono who welcomed us at our arrival and gave us the goodbye at our departure, she has a cousin in Italy, in Treviso, not far from where we live, if she ever comes to Italy it would be a pleasure to meet her. We really hope to go back to Bora Bora in the future and to stay again at Chez Nono! Thank you for everything, our stay is unforgettable. Cristian and Massimo

We stayed in the bungalow nearest the water and enjoyed feeding the fish out of our windows each morning. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Since there are only a few places on the property, it is very private and relaxing. The water is as beautiful as you can imagine, and you can walk for every (it seems like). Snorkeling is also good in the area; you will see sting and eagle rays daily. There are great little restaurants and snack shacks within walking distance too. We stayed for almost three weeks, and wish we didn't have to leave.
