hotel in Fiji is the small but cosy Hotel Fiji at Nausori, a few miles out of Suva. The hotel is operated by Mr. Barry Gardiner, who for some time was licensee of the old Rewa Hotel, on the opposite side of the river. The new Hotel Fiji is right in Nausori, and not far from the airport which serves Suva. There are 14 beds in the accom modation block at the rear.
The Nausori-Rewa area, with its historic background, has many points of interest for the visitor. The first sugar mill in Fiji was established there (it is now being used for rice) and not far away is the famous island of Ba, and also the beach where the “Southern Cross” took off for Australia on the last leg of the first Pacific air crossing.
The boats in the picture above are water taxis, seen at the Wainibokasi landing at Rewa. They will take passengers anywhere on the many river systems which operate from this centre.
