1848 Princess Tui Inn

Description:

• Most of the units in this historic and charming colonial house are the original bedrooms. Although accommodations are basic by today's standards, fans hang from their high ceilings, and mosquito nets cover their beds, most queen-size. The choice units are on the front of the house; their windows face the sea across the road. One of these and a larger family unit have private bathrooms. Two rooms with six beds each serve as dormitories, one reserved for females. A modern concrete-block building next door holds four "cottage" rooms; these lack charm and share a bathroom, but they are air-conditioned. All guests share a communal kitchen. No smoking in the rooms here.
