CHRISTMAS ISLAND
The Lodge
The Mini-Hotel Kiritimati has been operating as a fishing lodge for over 10 years now and has a proven record of hospitality and reliability. Eri and Agnes Reiti are the owners of the hotel and they will ensure your stay will be comfortable. The hospitality shown by this great couple will permeate your trip and your memories for life. The Lodge can comfortably accommodate 8 anglers per week in an intimate bed and breakfast style setting.
There are 5 rooms and guests normally sleep 2 to a room with 3 shared bathrooms for the guests. Each room is comfortably furnished and includes ceiling fan, but only one room has air conditioning. The average temperature at night is 70 degrees and the days high in the mid 80's. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and well lit. We are located in the village of London, just steps away from the boat launch and a short ride away from the legendary flats of Christmas Island. ( The Captain Cook Lodge is 20 minutes away from the boat launch) No where on the island will you find a more comfortable place to stay. There is standard US electricity as well as 220 volt circuits at the lodge.
Guests tend to congregate in the covered and screened dining and living area on the side of the lodge. You can also store most of your rods and gear in this area. There are sofas and chairs to relax after a long day of fishing.
Breakfast and dinner are served family style and one would be hard pressed to find more unique meals anywhere on the island. Dinners consist primarily of seafood such as snapper, wahoo, tuna, mantis shrimp, lobster and clams. Food at the Mini Hotel is simple and safe. The entire lodge is revolves around this principle in order to provide a reasonably priced trip that caters to the fishing first and foremost. Breakfast is usually at 6:15 Am and you get out to the boat around 7 am, Lunches on board the boat usually consists of sandwich , fruit and a few snacks. Fish till the sun is so low you can't see fish anymore.
Water is provided through and purification process at the lodge that starts with safe drinking water and filters it even further. Bottled water is available on request. There is very little available on the island so if you have special needs let us know we may have to ask you to hand carry some food down.
Purified water is included in your package but beer and soft drinks are available for a nominal charge. There are Australian beers available as most supplies are shipped in from That direction. The Australian dollar is the official currency on the island.
The Mini Hotel's superior fishing program, the flexibility of our boats and guides, the hospitality of having an owner on site ( Not so at the Captain Cook) make it an easy choice for anyone who is looking for large quantities of bonefish at a reasonable price.
