'Atalanga, the Royal Residence of HM the Queen of Tonga

Regardless of who bought “Atalanga”, to claim that such an expansive and high class property with antique furniture was bought to be a student residence is most ludicrous. There is no logic to such a purchase and expense. On the other hand, as the Royal Residence of Her Majesty the Queen of Tonga in New Zealand, the purchase then makes sense. - Ministry of Information and Communication.
