Nukualofa Will Have Hotel
p. 53 · Read in the full issue
PLANS have been approved by the Tongan Government for a small but modern tropical-style hotel which will shortly be built at Nukualofa on a site to the eastward of the wharf and not far from the Yacht Club. At present only limited boarding-house accommodation is available.
The plans were prepared by the New Zealand Ministry of Works, which is also working on plans for the new Royal Palace.
Work on the hotel is likely to commence before the end of this year.
Other plans are being prepared for a hostel for the use of young
Tongans in Auckland, to be built adjacent to Queen Salote’s Auck land residence acquired last year.
