Devin New Zealand

Lucy and staff was really friendly and kind. We enjoyed our stay there. It is a good accommodation for travelers like us. You can meet there a lot of people from everywhere.

Simpaul New Zealand

This place was a pleasant surprise in Apia. It is definitely a backpacker's place but since they offer slightly nicer rooms in addition to the cheap dorms so there are some older folks around and you don't feel like you're crashing someone's 21st birthday party. They have a ton of information about things to do around Apia and beyond. It's a great deal if you just need a safe place to rest! Also the woman working there was incredibly kind.

Anonymous France

Great hosts and nice accommodation, perfect for a short stay! Breakfast was really good. Staff recommended us a great driver to our next accommodation for a little price. would recommend the place for sure

Anna Austria

Staff plus guests - all friendly and I felt like I was living in my own family. Everyone's friendly. My dad was so happy and we enjoyed our stay there.

Iakopo New Zealand

Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean, big room with bathroom and hot water. Sofas and tables to sit outside with people even if it's rain. The best place to meet other backpackers ;)

  • Your policy says check in time is between 11 a.m. to 12.00 in the morning.At the moment I cannot guarantee the arrival time since I am travelling to Samoa on Ferry and may need to check into town for a couple of errands.Also I would like to confirm if this rate FJ $70 is for both the two days and what will be the conversion if paying in Samoan currency?

    $70FJ is $85 wst . What type of room are you booking? We ahve different rates, that sounds like a dormitory bed @ 40WST per day.

Welcome and Talofa to Olivias Accommodation Samoa. Continuing the tradition of Samoan Hospitality for over 30 years Olivias Accommodation provides the perfect location and the right amenities for the budget traveller. After some years of hibernation Olivias is back as the premier backpacker's place to stop and rest and is officially open from the 1st of November 2011. Olivias is perfectly located on the Main East Coast Road next to the well known Apia Park sporting complex and is within easy distance of all the places of interest in Apia. From Apia's central clock tower to the complex is a 20 minutes walk along the Harbour or a very short bus or taxi ride. A nominal taxi fare to or from town would be about 5 Tala in local currency. Olivias was traditionally a Bed and Breakfast home stay and continuing with that we have 12 rooms which are serviced daily as Double or Triple Rooms with private bathroom equipped with ceiling fans or A/C for additional charge. We also offer 4 2-Bed Dormitories with shared bathroom facilities equipped with ceiling fan. The price includes a tropical continental breakfast with fresh fruit.

I am a business woman and a Tennis coach. Born and raised on the property, where I still live. The Apia Park sporting facilities are next door which has the athletic track, soccer and rugby fields, Bowling Club, and World Class Tennis Courts. It also hosted the Pacific Games in September 2019. I am very involved with Tennis Samoa and love sports. I'm dedicated to make my guests feel welcome in Samoa. Always happy to give advice where to go for Samoan food or what to see in Apia and around.

A shop that closes at 1 am daily is just next to the property. A bigger supermarket Frankies that closes at 9 pm daily (closed on Sunday) is about 5 min away up the road. 5 minutes walk to the waterfront at Vaiala and further down is Palolo Deep for snorkeling. Further along on to the wharf and waterfront are more bars and restaurants. Good swimming at the nice sandy beach is for free at Taumeasina Resort which is a 15 min walk away. They also have free floor shows in their Restaurant from Wednesday to Saturday that our guests love to go to.
