Malolo Plantation Lodge

Malolo Plantation Lodge is a picture perfect tropical setting for our Papua New Guinea travel, complete with swaying palm trees and the volcanic island of Kar Kar on the distant seaward horizon. Malolo has 14 air-conditioned rooms with private bathroom and balcony facing the ocean. The lounge, bar and dining room are open on all sides to allow in the ocean breezes. A fresh water swimming pool, tennis court, lush tropical gardens and extensive lawns reaching down to the ocean, add to the pleasure. Electricity is drawn from the town power supply and at times can be unreliable. A backup generator is used during these times. Touring is done in mini buses along sealed roads. Snorkeling is supervised by Malolo's experienced snorkel guide and his assistant for the safety of clients and continued preservation of PNG’s unique and colorful tropical coral reefs.

Ambua Lodge

Ambua Lodge is located at 7000 feet in the Tari Gap area bordering on mid montane rainforest at the beginning of the valley grasslands. The forest canopy and eternal spring weather provides a natural setting to venture along the nature trails, cross traditional vine bridges, discover a secluded waterfall and spot high altitude orchids and rhododendrons. The lodge has thirty individual units set in a sea of flowers. All units feature 180-degree picture windows, en-suite bathroom and 24-hour electricity. The lodge features Highland architecture with a main building housing the lounge, bar, dining room and cozy fireplace.

PLEASE NOTE: Ambua is at an altitude of 7000 feet and this may cause you to breathe more heavily than normal. Take your time, get plenty of rest, and be sure to keep up your fluids. Enjoy the nature walks but be aware that paths can be wet and may be slippery, old footwear with good gripping soles is recommended. Tiled floors in the rooms can be cold so bring a light pair of slippers. Electric blankets are provided – turn yours on high before you go to dinner!
