Hotel For Norfolk
Work is proceeding on alterations to the former Paradise Hotel in New Cascade Road, Norfolk Island, which the proprietors, K. A. Prentice & Co. hope to re-open next March as the South Pacific Hotel.
Twenty rooms will be added to the existing building. All rooms will have shower facilities and will open on to a patio surrounding a new swimming pool, which will be one of the main attractions.
Mr. K. A. Prentice said recently that his hotel would provide accom modation for the additional visitors expected at Norfolk as a result of the opening of his Auckland tourist office.
At the present, good-class accom modation on the island is limited.
Three years ago, Mr. Prentice's plan for an ultra-modern hotel incor porating the ruins of two convict-built structures in Quality Row, Kingston, was turned down by the then Minister for Territories, Mr. Paul Hasluck, because it would not have been in keeping with the surround ing colonial-style buildings.
