The historic Tailevu Hotel is an independent hotel consisting of air-conditioned double rooms, self-contained accommodation, restaurant, lounge bar, nightclub, conference and events space and laundry facilities. It was established by William "Bill" Gatward in 1948 and was popular with the local dairy farmers. After WW2, Tailevu North was earmarked as another place to establish the Fiji dairy indus
try. Because of their expertise, farmers from New Zealand were invited to settle and operate dairy farms. To this day some decedents still operate dairy farms in the area. It is said, the main building was the former mess hall of the RNZAF that was based at the Laucala Bay. Tailevu Hotel consists of air-conditioned double rooms, each with it's own amenities.
