Oceanic archipelago. South Pacific paradise. Tonga’s islands are a picture of perfection, as multi-hued mountains slope down onto spotless, sandy shores.
Tongatapu, Tonga’s largest island, is surrounded by coral reefs and home to the capital of Nuku'alofa. Aside from the pristine beaches and superb snorkelling spots, you can also explore ancient tombs and witness coastal blowholes. Kayaking is one of the most popular water sports on Tonga, with full-day excursions and island hopping adventures from local operators. Located just over 17 km southeast of Tongatapu is ‘Eua – one of the oldest islands in the Pacific, home to a trek-friendly tropical rainforest and beautiful beaches on its western side. Most accommodation can be found easily in Nuku'alofa, with a range of beachfront hotels, resorts and B&Bs available.

Peta aand Mau were attentive and responsive to all of our needs on behalf of the owners. It was a relaxing place to stay with the ability to snorkel, swim and kayak from the wharf. We would stay again in a eartbeat.

Guest review
Breakfast was very good. Location was excellent for my needs as the job I was in Tonga to do was only 200 m from the hotel but for some guests it may be a bit far out of town.

The Harbourview - Vava'u has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Toula. This 3-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom.
Guest review
We loved our stay at Harbourview so much, we extended it by an extra 7 days! The welcome is warm and friendly, Nat makes you feel at home almost immediately. The little cottages have a terrace you can relax in and a very comfortable bed. If you are lucky one of the cats will walk you to your room every evening and then sleep on your step to make sure you are safe all night! The conversation and happiness around the bar was inviting - daily. The view from the table we quickly adopted as 'ours' overlooking the bay with the perfect breeze and view of all the flying foxes at night was endlessly enjoyable. Laurence - Nat's chef is an artist, every single item we ordered from the menu (and especially the daily specials) was brilliant, some of the best food I have had in all of the South Pacific. Even simple dishes are given Laurence love, I think I ordered the bruschetta 5 times and never tired of it. Vi, makes sure you are always watered (there is a genuinely great selection of wine and Nat's Espresso Martini's and Bloody Mary's are a great way to wile away an entire sunday!), looked after and her and her husband run a taxi service which allows you to feel super mobile even if you don't have a car. She also has incredible tales of sea voyages, just ask her. And Mele looks after you and makes your room feel brand new every morning. In short, Nat has gathered a truly wonderful team around her (there are at least two more people I would like to mention but I feel terrible I can't remember their names - I blame the espresso martini's!) and has a really wonderful little piece of paradise to welcome you into. It's not a resort, it's more homely than that. If you like sharing stories the bar welcomes you with an array of guests who come and go for lunch and dinner, and there are places you can find your own solitude. I will be back. I don't know when.

Situated on the picturesque waterfront, Emerald Hotel & Restaurant is centrally located in Nuku‘alofa. Guests can enjoy Chinese cuisine from the on-site restaurant, or relax with a drink at the bar.
Guest review
Perfect location for the town centre plus facing the beach. The staff are fantastic and it’s all very clean. The Chinese restaurant in the hotel is excellent and even more useful on a Sunday when the whole island is shut. It gets mad busy then. Rooms cleaned daily and fresh towels every day if you want them. A great stay we loved it
