The rapidly increasing importance of Onehunga as a port of arrival and departure, the extension of tha railway, the connecting of the peninsula with Mangere. and the general favour Onehunga has obtained as a place of pleasurable resort, has induced the Proprietor to spare neither pains or expense to make it A FIRST-CLASS FAMILY, COMMERCIAL, AND travellers' -hotel. The establishment has been so re-arranged as to afford the best accommodation for visitors in transitu between tho portand other ports of the colony; as also for those who seek Onehunga as A MARINE TREAT, whether for pleasure or health. The accommodation comprises COMMERCIAL, TRAVELLERS', PUBLIC, AND PRIVATE ROOMS. The Bedrooms are spacious, well-ventilated, and comfortably furnished. Every attention, under very experienced management, is paid to the wants of j customers. • The charges are strictly moderate ;, a good table is keet, and the WINES, ALES, AND SPIRITS are the best procurable. In fact nothing has been left untried to make the MANUKAU HOTEL worth? of the highest patronage which may b_ I awarded to It.
