PNG - Mount Hagen - accomodation

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

Hi,
I am planning to go to Mt Hagen Festival held on 16-17 August this year. It is impossible to book any hotel via internet, it is already fully booked. I have booked a room on for August 12-14 but the festival starts only on 16th...
Has anybody tried to find accomodation during Mt Hagen Festival? Is it realistic to find any vacancy during the festival? Is there a lot of hotels and hostels? I would be grateful for any advice.
