The modern system of provid ing short-stay visitors with indi vidual native style bungalows, luxuriously equipped, is in full flower in Papeete, Tahiti. A new addition to those already existing there has been opened by Mr.

John A. Hounslow who has established a lagoonside group of eight bungalows which he calls Village Vaiete. It’s on the out skirts of Papeete, within walking distance of shops, and although the bungalows vary in size each has a tiled bathroom and kitchen and modern cooking facilities.

Small one-bedroom bungalows are £Stg. 2/15/- or $8 per day; large one-bedroom bungalows £Stg. 3/5/- or $9 per day; and two-bedroom bungalows £StgA or $11.50 per day. Rates are slightly cheaper between Oct. 1 and March 30; and there is a discount by the month.
