Village Backpackers

Cheapest accommodation in Nuku’alofa, not exactly plenty of amenities but it has a bed and a bathroom (that’s pretty much it) which is all that’s needed to rest my head.
Room is not super clean, little ants get into everything you leave out, and the bathroom and showers definitely need some de-spider-webbing but it’s only 50 Pa’anga (abt CA$30) a night. So not awesome deal but doesn’t break the bank.

Have to get used to the dogs and roosters again though after being in NZ for a while.
First night, getting in at 3am and not turning off the light till past 4am, I actually didn’t get any sleep until after the sun came up around 7am. Pillow is a bit mildewy but comfortable. It’s boiling hot here but at least the fan works

Definitely annoying not to have a kitchen or fridge though :/

And no wifi, and the eSIM I bought for Oceania only does 3G, super slow so have to buy a physical SIM card tmrRead more
