A variety of different rooms and many with kitchenette facilities should cater for most short or medium term visitors - located close to several supermarkets and restaurants. A good sized pool and nice poolside area provides an opportunity for relaxation or simple but nice meals and drinks.

I first visited Kaiviti in 1992 with my parents. When I stayed recently with my own family, I was delighted to find the pool area renovated. However, the two bedroom apartment we stayed in was well below the standard of accommodation we would normally choose. It was unchanged in 20 years, and there was a strong damp or mouldy smell...

Second visit to The Kaiviti in four years showed some improvements. The pool area is now very good with basic meals on offer for a reasonable price. Location is excellent as you are very close to town and a couple of supermarkets selling Australian stock and French goods. The meat area in the French supermarket is open for longer hours... More
