Hotel

A new landmark fast rising in Fiji’s North West is the Fiji Mocambo, a new air con ditioned hotel being built on a hill at Namaka, overlooking Nadi.

THERE are extensive views over a big area of cane field country towards Nadi international airport and the bay. Part of the view is seen in the top picture, with the founda tions of the hotel in the left-hand corner.

Construction workers are on the job seven days a week to have the hotel in operation by August. In the first stage of building there will be 64 rooms and suites.

Among amenities, will be a large outside covered patio leading to the swimming pool.

At left is Mr. Barry Philp, proprietor of the new Hotel Mocambo, which replaces the old well known hotel of the same name at the Nadi airport.
