kiwitoo 18:31 UTC 17 Aug 2007 | Hi. I stayed in the sports institute when I went to the goroka show in 2006. It was good. very handy as right next to the showground, but not so good if you want to be able to get into town at night. I had friends who enjoyed staying in the lutheran guest house which I think was better located for the town after dark. The sports institute had some pretty last minute rooms last year, so if you still wanted to try to go this year you could always try them. Whenever you go you'll love it. It's fantastic. | 1
sunnyhiker 18:16 UTC 20 Aug 2007 | I stayed at the Lutheran Guesthouse in May 2007 and would highly recommend it: clean, quiet, friendly staff, great meals, great location. The water pipes were loud in the evening but the noise stopped by 9:30pm. I agree with #1 - PNG is a wonderful place. | 2
