RE: My wonderful original home Island of Penrhyn.
It has only now got 24 hour electricity and running water and personal toilets. That's how long that it has taken for it to join the modern world.

Hey @skytronia, I just hope some greedy developers don't to come to this paradise and try make it commercial with hotels and condos for tourists :(
There is virtually no treat of that. It is far to remote. It did however have an air force base during world war two located there and several years ago a Major military exercise was conducted there. It still has a research station there manned by New Zealanders, Australians and Americans. Also the law prevents the sale of land.
I thought I'll include a photo of what a typical village use to look like. I built one of these houses with my family.
so where do tourists stay?
There are a few home stays but generally because the Island is a communal society,people will tend to lend you a house for your stay. There are no hotels per say.However you will have a place to stay. We are renown for our hospitality!
