A student wrote in 2007: Despite the horror stories I heard about the National Psychiatric Unit in Honiara, this is actually a very well run facility where staff have very modern attitudes to the patients and their conditions, they were extremely welcoming and allowed me to join ward rounds and interview patients.

A student wrote in 2007: BH Transit accommodation (or Ethel's place) is where I stayed and I would strongly recommend it, the family who own it are wonderful kind people and went out of their way to make me feel welcome. It does have some issues with water supply but a tank was being built during my stay so this should not be a problem in the future.
