Motusa is about one kilometer southwest of Ahau, the government station, which is also the location of the island's post office, and a small hospital. Ahau is now the administrative center of Rotuma, although for a long time Motusa, being the largest settlement, and one of the best moorings, was the centre of most business transactions and industry.
