Coastwatchers Hotel

Papua New Guinea


As the name implies, this hotel enjoys ocean views – but not from every room. It’s a modern, comfortable complex adjacent to the Coastwatchers’ Memorial Beacon and the golf course. The rooms are large (standard rooms sleep three) while others are split over two storeys – ideal for families or groups.

There’s excellent dining in Coasties Restaurant & Bar upstairs on the open-air veranda. On a muggy night it catches a pleasant breeze, and the lazy fans and cane furniture add to the tropical ambience.
