Hi,

I also attempted to book Magila on my first trip out to PNG three years ago, asked the same question as you.. was told..

it's a front for a nightclub and brothel!

so be careful out there. I stayed at the comfort inn in Boroko and although it wasn't the cheapest it certainly wasn't the most expensive and was nice and clean to the bargain.

cheers

Jon
