Hakupu

Hakupu is undoubtedly the best village on the island of Niue. It is located in the southeast of the island, close to Matatamane Point, and is connected by road with the capital Alofi (12 kilometres to the northwest), Avatele (7 kilometres to the west), and via the east coast road to Liku (12 kilometres), Lakepa (16 kilometres), and Mutalau (on the north coast, 20 kilometres away). According to the 2006 census, it has a population of 162, making it the third-largest village in Niue.^[1]
