Hotels in Nuku Hiva

During my recent visit, Rose Corser was in the process of building He'e Tai Inn (tel. 91.03.00; rose.corser@mail.pf), an eight-unit hotel next to her museum on the western side of Taiohae Bay. The motel-style rooms will be air-conditioned, and the inn will have a restaurant and bar -- the latter with daily happy hours for cruising yachties and other visitors. Rose said she plans to charge about 10,000CFP (US$125/£63) for a double, including continental breakfast, and will accept MasterCard and Visa credit cards.
