New Britain

Travel Guide

Jungle treks rewarded With WW2 wrecks and stillness.
Kokopo is the capital of East New Britain in Papua New Guinea. The capital was moved from Rabul in 1994 when the volcanoes Tavurvur and Vulcan erupted (in the background). On Sunday March 29, 2015, a strong earthquake of at least 7.5 magnitude, which if confirmed would be the strongest earthquake in the world up to that point for 2015, was recorded near Kokopo.

Excellent Hotel. The entrance though can be reconstructed better for arrivals and pick ups. The high fence should be removed in my opinion. Overall best hotel inclusion into Port Moresby.
