I REALLY liked this hotel. The staff here are lovely and friendly, the breakfasts are fabulous and the rooms are very comfortable. The courtyard is a wonderful oasis. It is right in town, so wonderfully positioned to walk to restaurants and shops. Thoroughly recommend.

Typical moai - toppled sometime before the arrival of westerners, most likely during civil wars on this resource-starved island. There is a large town site here, though all that remains are stone foundations and cave huts. This site was part of a south coast tour led by an Australian named Bill, the husband of the lady that ran our B&B. Bill came to the island in 1992 as construction manager for Kevin Costner's film Rapa Nui, and became so enchanted that he decided to stay. He was an entertaining tour guide - witty, helpful, energetic and opinionated. He shared his take on island history

Rano Raraku
Here we are in the "Navel of the World", and no sign of lint :) This was a sacred place for the Rapa Nui, who believed that their founding figure, Hotu Matura, first arrived at a nearby beach with this stone in tow. It has strange magnetic properties, and it's smooth surface and large size help it stand out among the porous volcanic rocks. Scientific testing, however, has proven that the rock is of local origin.
