New Mount Hagen guest house

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea

HI guys, Tim from sydney here.
Just thought I'd let you all know of a great little guest house just opened in mount hagen Papua New Guinea.
It's the latest project of the legendary Betty, A terrific character who all ready has one guest house up on mt. Wilhem and her trout farm there.
I recently was lucky enough to see the Mt. Hagen Cultural show. A huge sing-sing get together with 45 tribes from all over the high lands, singing and dancing their stuff.
Mt. Hagen city is still pretty wild but the KAGAMUGA Butterfly Cafe is an oasis of calm with friendly service, good food and excellent coffee. T-bones and milkshakes too.
Its out by the Kagamuga airport, near the PMV stop, near a cop shop, and not far from the show ground.
K75 for BnB (thats bacon and eggs if you want)
-Betty's Mt. Hagen number: 5451481 FAX:5451567
I was the extremely fortunate first guest and was very well looked after, during my week there. And the Show was a BLAST!
happy travelling, Tim.

Thanks for the info Tim. I didn't know about this guesthouse. I am going to Hagen in October, so will stay there. I have stayed with Betty twice at her guesthouse at the foot of Mt Wilhelm.
