Atiu Nui Maruarua III
This is the new Atiu hostel under construction in Tupapa that was due for completion In 2012 but has hit some minor setbacks, but never the less, work is still going as usual to complete the hostel, thanks to her volunteers that have given up there free time. This project is headed by Tangata Kae Chief builder, to oversee the running of the build. A lot of the Atiu mamas in the community have given up not only their time and cooking skills but also their own money to see the hostel completed.
The four storey block and cement hostel will be a multipurpose building able to accommodate up to 100 people in the main meeting hall. The hostel also has a number of individual, double, family and superior suite rooms that will be available for rent when the building is complete.
The first Atiu hostel on Rarotonga was built in Maraerenga in 1978 and in 2008 it was demolished to make way for Atiu Nui Maruarua III currently under construction.
