Under Way
WORK on erection of Tonga’s first hotel, at Nukualofa, is well under way and it is expected to be completed before the end of 1965.
Above is an artists’ drawing of the hotel, which is being erected by the Tongan Government.
The hotel, in Vuna Road, running along the foreshores, will have 50 double bedrooms—all of them self contained.
The main block, of three floors, will face the sea providing a good panoramic view from all the rooms.
The plan includes a swimming pool, gymnasium, tennis courts and other recreational facilities.
The work which started in June, is being carried out by the Tongan Construction Company. The archi tects are Derrick and Derrick, of Suva.
Tonga is served by Fiji Airways, from Suva, Polynesian Airlines, from Apia, and by a regular Union Steam Ship service from NZ, and its only accommodation at present is in Beach House, Nukualofa.
