Warili Lodge - Tari

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

I posted earlier - before my rtrip - the prices for Warili Lodge.

Having returned from my trip I found this in my inbox

"Dear globaltourist,

There is a correction: K1,910 was for 5 days......typing error. I have been to Mt.Bosavi treking and have been badly sick and didn't get on email, just now am seeing my mistakes.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience caused

Steven,"

At an exchange rate of K4 = £1 the cost would now be £477.50
Very affordable - but I'd already changed my plans based on the original costing given to me.

Incidentally - the day I would have been going to Tari the flight had been delayed over 4 hours & I left them still waiting when I took my on time flight to Kavieng. I don't know if they even got away that day.

FYI - that email arrived on the 27th April - I'd already left for PNG on the 11th

I should also point out that I responded to the original costing of K1,910 per day immediately to telll them it was too expensive - so you have to make your own call as to whether this is on the level, or in fact they were just trying it on....

I told you that those prices were not fixed and you should have just gone! ;-)

No - that was just the Lodge trying it on & hopefully what they learned is
a) don't try it on &
b) making mistakes on prices - then having a long & then having a protracted think about making the mistake means some people will spend their money elsewhere

Besides - the way the internal flights were I'd still be sitting in Moresby waiting for a plane to go to Tari ;-)

Hi - please could you post the email address / send me a PM with it in? I am looking to stay here next August and don't really fancy waiting a few months for the post!!!

Thanks,
Kim
