The former Anaiki Motel, has closed and is undergoing renovations and will re-open in 2013!
The Anaiki Palms Motel has a super location just back a little from the cliff top which means there are wide ocean views from every unit. Just wander down the lawn to the cliff-top lookout and hold your breath, the view from the lookout is amazing. For those seeking quiet contemplation this is the place to start, and for those looking to seek out some of Niue’s wonderful, natural attractions, you can’t go wrong starting from here. The coast around Anaiki Palms is littered with sea tracks and one, virtually on the property will take you directly down to Avaiki Cave. Just imagine being able to access calm, quiet Avaiki and its clear-as-glass water for a cooling swim any time you wish. Palaha Cave, a dry cave with beautiful limestone formations, is close by for more exploring or you can just wander along the road and take the sea track down to Hio Beach for more swimming and snorkelling. A couple of kilometres up the coast road and you will be near Matapa Chasm and the Talava Arches. It is a bit of a hike into Alofi Town from here but it’s an easy bike ride – better still, it’s only 8 minutes to Alofi by scooter-style motorbike or rental car.
"The perfect food after the beach. The burritos and tacos are awesome, with many veggie options. They also have beef, chicken, tongue (yes that's correct), pork belly, carne asada, carnitas, tuna, grouper, blackened tofu, and more! Highly recommended! We ate there twice in our 2 days on the island."
