Boulangerie Havaiki (Rotoava)

16° 3.6′ S · 145° 37.0′ W · approximate

Rotoava's bakery and mini-market: baguettes, pain au chocolat, NZ frozen meat and a decent vegetable shelf. Pre-order your bread the day before or it is gone by lunch.

Practical

Ph +689 40 98 42 56. Hours (Soggy Paws): Monday to Saturday, 5 am to noon and 3 to 5:30 pm. Call or pay the day before for baguettes, pain de mie, croissants or pain aux raisins; they hold the order. Bread can be gone by lunchtime, and eggs must be reserved. Bottle deposits come off your next beer, and recyclable bottles and cans can be dropped here. In 2019 it sold outboard petrol at 200 XPF/L (verify locally). Directions: from the dinghy dock turn right and walk about 1/2 mile; it is on your right, almost across from Magasin Rotoava. Coordinate approx: the OSM shop named 'Havaiki' matches that position.
