The Mission Base
The Base is located on the eastern outskirts of Honiara, about 12Km from the centre of town and about 4Km from Henderson International airfield. It is set on about 5 acres of land.
The Conference Centre can comfortably accommodate 34 people. A large central area holds the common room and dining area, with the kitchen along one wall. The bedrooms have 4 bunk beds to a room. There are indoor toilets as well as showers.
There are 7 houses on the base for the missionaries, a Bible Society staff member and his family, and local staff people. There many fruit trees, flowerbeds and vegetable gardens throughout the base.
Water is from rain catchment for drinking, and bore water for washing, toilets etc. The houses are served with 240V electricity, generated on site through solar panels and supplemented by generator.
Grassed areas allow for recreation, and the beach is 20 minutes walk. A ‘local rest house’ is ideal for outside meetings or barbecues, and 5 roofed picnic tables make ideal prayer nooks or small group discussion points.
The Conference Centre is used for accommodating short term mission teams, as well as hosting retreats, workshops and study programs. It is also available for other groups wishing to spend a short time in Honiara. Rates are very reasonable, and self catering is usually required. For accommodation bookings, rates etc, please contact us.
SWIM has a "No Smoking, No-Alcohol & No-Betel Nut” policy for the Base.
