Norfolk Island Holidays from AU$1,834

Its location is well above Kingston, which is a bit of a ghost settlement (as its World Heritage suggests); Kingston proper is the historic former penal colony. Panorama has spectacular views seaward, especially of Philip and Nepean islands. A short downhill walk brings one to the extensive late 18th & 19th-century stone buildings -- and well worth visiting. The Kingston pier is functional and a source of fresh fish to be bought from local fishermen; the sharks await the offal thrown to them. Don't swim either side of the pier! Parking is available outside Panorama. Panorama possesses the usual facilities which one might expect. The owner, Brett, appears to be both affable and helpful; we could not fault him. Washing/drying facilities on the ground floor were most useful. Despite the many potholes on almost every road, your visit will be enhanced by hiring a car. The village of Burnt Pine, source of food, restaurants, services etc.) is otherwise quite a walk away (mostly uphill!). You will enjoy the stillness of the Norfolk Island generally and the clean/clear air which make viewing the stars at night a special treat.

Room was not as clean as it could have been, loose tiles in the bathroom had bugs crawling in and out, cobwebs everywhere under counters and benches, needs a bit of Reno and care.

People were really nice and friendly
