Comfortable 3-Bed Bungalow Near Parliament, Bairiki, South Tarawa

Located a short walk from the Maneaba ni Maungatabu parliament building in the administrative hub of Bairiki, this solid three-bedroom bungalow sits on a raised concrete slab designed to improve airflow and resist periodic tidal flooding. Built in 2011 using cyclone-rated timber framing and corrugated iron roofing, the home features screened louvred windows throughout, an open living and dining area, and a functional kitchen with LPG cooktop. A 10,000-litre rainwater tank and rooftop solar panels with battery storage significantly reduce utility costs. The fenced yard accommodates a small vegetable garden. The generator connection point provides added resilience during outages. Bairiki hosts government offices, a medical clinic, and regular bus service along the islet causeway. Lease is on a 12-month basis; renewal preferred.
