Tanoa International Dateline Hotel
About this stay
The International Dateline Hotel is one of Nukuʻalofa's established hotels, on the waterfront in the middle of the capital and facing the reef offshore. It is part of the Tanoa group and has standard rooms, ocean-view rooms and suites, with a restaurant, meeting rooms and event space. Town is a short walk away, and the Royal Palace and Vuna Wharf are about twenty minutes on foot. It suits business travelers, families and anyone who wants a central, full-service hotel in Tongatapu before or after flights to the outer islands.
About Tongatapu
Tongatapu is Tonga's main island and home to the capital, Nuku'alofa, the royal palace and most of the population. It is flat, fringed by reef and dotted with plantations, villages and churches. It suits travellers interested in history and the monarchy, and anyone passing through on the way to Ha'apai or Vava'u. Compared with the outer islands it is busier and more practical, with markets, banks and government offices.
Getting there
Fua'amotu International Airport (TBU) is about 20 kilometres from Nuku'alofa. Flights connect with Auckland, Sydney, Brisbane and Nadi. Domestic flights and the inter-island ferry link Tongatapu with Ha'apai, Vava'u and 'Eua.
