Tapini Hotel
Maybe a member has knowledge on the following:
Have been wondering if the Tapini Hotel is still operating? I stayed there for two memorable nights in 1968 and remember lots of hospitality from the owner, Andy Anderson (I think) I was one of two guests! It was reported late in the life of Patair that they had purchased it from Anderson. Is this correct? If they did, what happened to it after Ansett acquired Patair? The Tapini valley and village was great to experience - a delightful area. Of course the flight in the Patair Navajo VH-PNL was an experience in itself. The airstrip was very active with movements by various Cessna singles, Army Caribou and Patair Piaggio aircraft apart from the Navajo movements.
Thanks if you can give some information on this.
