# Budget Accom. in Papette, Tahiti Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Tahiti & French Polynesia
wokjoe 23:34 UTC 29 Jan 2007 | Hi. Just wondering how much backpacker accommodation costs in Papette or if they have such a thing on this tourist resort island. I am thinking of stopping over on the way back home to NZ and thinking about my options. Can anyone give any recommendations and price ranges? thanks in advance wok |

Check out Nelson Camping and Moorea Camping (reviews on Trip Advisor). www.camping-nelson.pf. Both are located on a nice white beach withint talking distance to shops, restaurants and a grocery store. | 1

silvanocat 11:39 UTC 23 Feb 2007 | It appears that the Tahiti Budget Lodge has gone out of business several years ago. I googled and only found reference to it on old unupdated Web sites. It's listed in the 2000 LP South Pacific Guidebook but not in any recent guides. #1's advice to head to Moorea and stay on the beach is excellent. Camping Nelson and Moorea Camping both have dorm rooms. | 3
