What is the standard of accommodation in Port Moresby?
Excellent accommodation in Port Moresby is available (although there is some pressure on the higher range apartments in 2007). Prices range from K2000 – K3000 per week plus VAT for apartments – as always ‘you get what you pay for’ and security and comfort improve the more you pay. Most advisers live in secure ‘compounds’ (not as daunting as they sound!) that have communal facilities such as a swimming pool, tennis court, barbecue area and a 24 hour controlled access gate. Most apartments are fully furnished, including washing machine, drier, stove, microwave and fridge. Television sets are often not provided but can be purchased new or second-hand. Smaller appliances (e.g. kettle, BBQ) can also be purchased readily – or you can bring them with you. Many advisers live in comfortable apartments (often with ‘million-dollar’ sea views) while others prefer the convenience of hotel apartments or self-catering rooms. Many of the apartments have excellent views of the ocean and surrounding isl
