About us
The Fletcher Christian Apartments were established in 1965 by Bernie Christian-Bailey, who recognized the need for clean, modern, and comfortable accommodation to serve Norfolk’s growing tourist population. Bernie had a special passion for hospitality and took great care in ensuring every guest felt well looked after.
In July of 2025, our family company purchased The Fletcher Christian Apartments. With renovations and fresh ideas, we are blending it's rich history within the Norfolk community with modern and classic comforts, and take great pride in continuing Bernie's legacy of hospitality.

Guest Testimonials
Me and my infant son spent a week at the Manava suites, and it completely redefined what accommodation on NI could be. Unassuming but homey from the outside but nothing short of modern, well equipped, well designed and well presented. Well worth the money, central to the
Township and only 5-10 minutes from the ocean.
Couldn’t be more happy with our stay.

Just had a most wonderful holiday at Manava Suites, with delightful Kim as our host. The suites have just been very tastefully renovated & look & feel great.
Plenty of parking out the front, central position, the position is an easy walk into Burnt Pine. RSL next door.
Could not ask for a better & more caring host or terrific unit, many thanks Liam & Kim.

Our holiday was wonderful. Norfolk Island is a stunning and unique location and the trip was made all the more comfortable because we stayed at Manava Suites. We will definitely return and stay again at this beautiful place.
