New rates after relocation and the issue of distance?

Many visitors have expressed their concern over the past few months, that with our move to the beach, our rates would surely increase significantly.

This message is to assure all our former and future guests, that our rates have never been based on what can be charged for a product but what needs to be charged for a product in order to operate and maintain the facility! Indeed, there possibly may be an increase, but this will be marginal, depending on any increase in operating costs due to transportation (i.e. free international inbound airport pick up "with almost twice the distance") as well as trips to and from town!

By the way, we are planning in several convenient and low cost options for getting around on Tongatapu, so that the remote location of Ha'atafu Beach Reserve will never be an issue! More info on these will be available in early 2010!

Hope you enjoy the Blog!

Make sure you visit the blog again soon, as the progress is now gaining (Island style) momentum.

Access road is completed and the project is moving forward, finally!!!





Another month has past and in comparison to the last half year... a lot has happened!

The building of the access road is complete, the excavator from New Zealand (for the trenching work) has arrived and the construction of the border fence has started.

An update on the fence work will follow as soon as the pictures are ready.
