Nothing about the property per se, it is far away from everything. As a result, meal offerings are limited.

It is beautiful, calm, quiet.

It‘s dated and we were charged the wrong dinner at check out. The road to get to the hotel is in bad conditions.

Nice location near the beach and the restaurant was great.

Wifi. There was none, but that was beyond their control. There was no mention of lunch, but dinner and breakfast were catered. It needed more Eco to be an eco-lodge.

It was quiet and calm, in a beautiful spot. We were worried about the roads but from Noumea to Yate they were great, and not too bad from Yate to Kanua Tera, a few potholes and a couple of concrete fords which might be dodgy after heavy rain.

There are no wine glasses in the rooms Wi-Fi is only available in the central building, and apparently in the nearest bungalows.

Very nice and quiet place. The sea is a dozen meters from the bungalow. A sandy beach where it is convenient to swim. Friendly staff. Well-cooked food, although the choice is limited to a few options.

It was difficult to find the hotel, no signage from the road, or even the turning to the hotel. Lighting was very poor in the room and it would have been nice to have small things, like glasses, milk for tea and coffee. Things the hotel have no chance of fixing are the roads, the pot holes are so so bad, takes so long to get anywhere trying to avoid them.....

The hotel was beautiful, our room was right on the water, laying listening to the see lapping on the beach meters from our room was amazing, Staff really friendly, we didn't speak French but they all tried so hard to help. Peaceful, quiet and beautiful.

The maintenance of the facilities could be better.

Good breakfast with fresh fruits and good selection of pastries. Very well located next to the sea with a beautiful view. There is also a nice hike starting from the Lodge.

Well, we didn't actually dislike it, but we arrived without any internet connection and Wifi at the property was nonexistent so be prepared for total disconnectedness. There were nice fish to see out snorkelling but unfortunately the nickel mine not far away seems to have bleached the coral. Still, beautiful serene waters and we highly recommend it!

The quiet & scenic surrounds of this resort are fantastic. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were wonderful. You stay in a bure right on the water. Also, don't follow the google maps route from Noumea...take the inland road! And bring snacks with you as there is nothing at all around.

May be the mosquitoes, but it was all good

The breakfast was nice. The location was really good although it is quite far from Noumea city.

Some investment in renovating the chalets will be needed soon, particularly with the erosion of the beach - presumably from the storms earlier this year. But this wasn't something I didn't like about the hotel - it was something I didn't like about climate change.

This small friendly hotel consists of several individual chalets and is in a superb seafront (literally - the chalets are within 3 metres of the ocean) location at the very south of New Caledonia. The roads from Noumea, whether you travel via Prony or via Yate, are now easily navigated in a saloon car. The first time I visited ooh 20 years ago, when it was a campsite, it was a 4WD journey But it is still in the least populated coastal corner of New Caledonia and the ideal place if you want some quiet, and a comfortable base to explore New Caledonia's "Grand Sud". Or just wake up and gaze at the lagoon while you sip your morning coffee, before hopping onto a paddleboard. A turtle was hanging around when I went out yesterday, and three New Caledonian crows - reputedly the most intelligent bird in the world - briefly visited the tree next to where we were having breakfast the day before.

Hard to get food during breakfast and no vegetarian option for diner.

Bungalows close to the see

There is no shop nearby and the fridge is small. The menu is limited and the chefs and their dishes vary throughout the week. Ps. Must speak French.

The best paradise hideaway directly on the beach with amazing snorkelling. Great walking track to a small cascade and watering hole. Calm water. Plenty of turtles. Best sunsets. Amazing!

Kanua Tera is a hidden slice of paradise. If you’re looking for something quiet, cultural, stunningly picturesque and off the beaten track, it is the place to go. The staff are fantastic - helpful, polite, and go above and beyond for you. They don’t speak much English but did everything they could to communicate with us and we always managed with a little help from google translate! The site is stunning, right on the lagoon with a pontoon you can swim off, turtles swim right by! Walking track right off the bungalows. The bungalows are a little tired as per other reviews but they are beautifully clean and we actually loved that they weren’t luxe - we felt like we were in our own little oasis, the deck off the bungalow sits right in front of the lagoon and you can hear the waves lapping at night. We had a fridge, tea and coffee (BYO milk or I’m sure they’d give it to you if you asked… they gave us everything we asked for!). Meals were delicious (not a lot of variety but everything was so good). Fresh fruit and pastries at breakfast with coffee and drinks available all day. There are no supermarkets or anything nearby (it really is off the beaten track!) so we stopped at a supermarket in noumea and took snacks and some wine for between meals. Getting there is challenging - the rd through prony and on to port boise is narrow and full of pot holes (hard to navigate) so on the way back we drove through yate and it was much easier! If you read any of these reviews, read this - this place is the most beautiful place we have ever been and we cannot wait to visit again.

Location

Stayed in July 2023

The wifi only works in the main building. The fan in the room was incredibly slow and bad. There is nothing to do at the resort. The breakfast is fine, but tiny and way overpriced. The toilet was separate from the sink, forcing people to walk through the bedroom to wash their hands.
