There is no AC in cottages and some evenings and nights were pretty brutal. We knew about the AC and mentally prepared for hot nights 😂 I can see how AC might not be needed since majority of guests were expats living in PNG or Australians, and almost everyone we talked to doesn’t even use AC at home, but for us, the Americans, this was hard. We would gladly pay extra for the privilege of having air conditioning.

This was our first visit to PNG and Walindi. The property was beautiful, and cottages spacious and well appointed. Food was good. All staff were beyond amazing and helpful. Diving was great with the reefs teeming with life and thousands of colorful fish. If you are thinking about staying here, don’t think twice. You will love it!

The diving around the resort is not as spectacular as I’d hoped at least for the half dozen dives I did. I did not go on the associated dive boats. That said, there a a few sites where coral and fish life seem healthy.

It’s a relaxing if slightly isolated spot for divers and adventurers. Staff is friendly and helpful. The volcano trek was spectacular. And the huge neon green butterflies, exotic birds , land crabs and insects and immaculate grounds make this a relaxing and interesting place. The thermal river was also one-of-a-kind.

If credit card is standard method to pay, Booking.com should mention 3% credit card costs by the accommodation.

Beautiful, peaceful & comfortable location, kind & helpful staff and good meals. Great place to just hang around and charge your battery. If you want, there are plenty of possibilities to make trips in the neighbourhood: nature, birding, snorkelling, diving, nearby village. The assistance is excellent. Just ask.

dietary options particularly for lunch were rather limited for my sister who is gluten intolerant and does not eat any kind of fish / shellfish. our bungalows were side by side (No 3& 4) but it would have been even more ideal if we could have had the bungalows that shared the foot path. ie No 2&3 The window curtains in the rooms were the only things that needed an upgrade. They are showing signs of age and do not cover the windows completely. An extra towel would be good for hair drying.

staff were all delightful it was terrific highlight to meet Cecily (the owner) who was extremely knowledgeable about everything on that part of the island and war history. gardens are magical and so well kept. meals were all quite tasty. comfortable beds authentic down to earth island stay

It is located in one of the most beautiful places, adjacent to one of the top diving locations in the world. The jungle, trees, plants and volcanoes add to the beauty.

It was perfect!! … because of all of the above we loved the community/ village atmosphere. I asked many of the staff if they loved / enjoyed working at Walindi and received positive and enthusiastic replies. We loved seeing the pride that the staff had in their work . A credit to the Walindi family and the team.

Every aspect was perfect.. the care and attention to detail of Walindi staff from all perspectives was exceptional and all done with a ‘generosity of spirit’
