"Liked being away from the city and close to the Mangroves walk.
Loved the little shop so a night in with snacks and meals was easy.
Very helpful staff even if little English was spoken, we managed :-)"

"Really nice hotel with spa and pool. Parking on hotel site is no necessary as you can park on the street behind the hotel. Very nice and friendly personnel."

"Very enjoyable experience staying at the Gondwana Hotel in Noumea. The staff were excellent; friendly, welcoming and helpful. The morning breakfast was enjoyable and the location provided an excellent base from which to explore this lovely part of New Caledonia."

"The location was great, right near bus stops, in between the bays, easy walk to restaurants and cafes and beaches. The apartments were very poorly maintained though, for example the door lock was practically falling off, a kitchen drawer did fall off, etc."

Front counter staff friendly and helpful. Rooms clean, good wifi, comfortable space in the room, windows open, great location. Underground parking for a price but very convenient and safe. I would definitely stay here again.

Incredible stay! It was an absolute dream. I stayed two nights in the overwater bungalows and it was spacious, confortable and an amazing experience. I got to rent a snorkeling kit for free and go see the corrals, fish and sea turtles that were nearby. The staff was lovely and the environment felt safe. I only had the breakfast buffet as far as meals go but there was a lot of choices and everything I had was good, especially the fresh pastries. From the check in, the boat ride to the îlot, the...

The only negative for us was the fact that the street in front of the hotel was completely torn up and under construction making it too noisy to enjoy the balcony and difficult to access in our rental car. The neibourhood is very nice with an excellent choice of restaurants a short walk away, and a lovely beach promenade - unfortunately the beach walkway and the adjacent road were also construction zones with many parts blocks off!

The Buffet breakfast makes this the best deal in Noumea. We met other families that were staying in different hotels. When we compared notes with the others, we realized we had the best deal. The price of food, everything in New Caledonia in fact, is so expensive, so having the large buffet saved us so much money. We always took a few extra croissants, yogurt, etc. back to our room to snack on later in the day. It worked out great. The room was very clean and the kitchen was great - although a...

Very nice room overlooking the sea. The rooms were renovated and very comfortable. The building itself starts showing its age but gardens are ver nice. Gorgeous breakfast on week ends (half of Nouméa comes for the brunch!) (delicious Paris Brest…). The staff is very nice and helpful. We had a good week!

The only thing I dislike is the shower drain did not block sewer odour, I needed to put a towel on the drain.
Every thing else was great, clean and convenient.
Staff was lovely and a stunning view on my balcony.

We found the Nouvata to be conveniently located along the shore, with good access to restaurants and a short walk to the aquarium. The bus stopped right outside, so it was also easy to travel to and from the downtown area. Hotel employees were all friendly and helpful. There was construction on floors below, but all was quiet in the evening. We had to request toilet paper and towels as housekeeping sometimes failed to re-supply. We liked that this hotel appears to be locally owned and...

The best area to stay in Naïa is Anse Vata, known for its extensive beachfront and comprehensive amenities.
Anse Vata is the main tourist district, stretching along a beautiful bay.

The area is easily navigable on foot, and public transport connects it well to other parts of the city. Notable landmarks include the Aquarium des Lagons Nouvelle-Calédonie and the departure points for glass-bottom boat tours.
For couples, Anse Vata offers a romantic setting with its stunning sunsets and a wide selection of upscale dining options right on the water. You'll find plenty of opportunities for water activities like paddleboarding and windsurfing, or simply relaxing on the white sand beaches. Many hotels here offer rooms with sea views, great for a special getaway.
Families will also find Anse Vata highly convenient. The calm, shallow waters of the lagoon are ideal for children to swim and play. There are numerous family-friendly restaurants, and the proximity to the aquarium provides an engaging educational activity.
