Lissenung Island

Just north of Australia lies Papua New Guinea, aptly named the land of the unexpected. Just a 1.5 hour flight from the capital Port Moresby, you reach the Lissenung area, a region placed between two crystal clear bodies of water: the South Pacific and the Bismarck Sea.

Just north of Australia lies Papua New Guinea, aptly named the land of the unexpected. Just a 1.5 hour flight from the capital Port Moresby, you reach the Lissenung area, a region placed between two crystal clear bodies of water: the South Pacific and the Bismarck Sea.

The Resort

The resort, which was constructed in 1996, consists of 4 bungalows, accommodating a maximum of 14 guests. The size of the island makes it easy to circumnavigate in about 15 minutes.

The set-up of the resort is simple and comfortable. The main house is where you will find cold drinks and delicious meals. Fresh seafood, fruits and ingredients are staples in the cuisine and most of the ingredients come from the local market.

All of the buildings are built in the traditional style, including thatched roofs and bamboo woven walls. These materials are time tested and appropriate to the environment, therefore they stand up well to even the strongest rainstorms.

Accommodation

The four bungalows are spread throughout the island allowing for plenty of privacy. Three of the four bungalows house two double or twin rooms, with the fourth being a single open room. All rooms are fitted with mosquito nets over the bed, a ceiling fan, a large desk and a wardrobe. In addition, they each have large verandahs with comfortable chairs for evening relaxation.

Six rooms have their own ensuite bathroom, each with toilet, basin and shower. For the other rooms, the share facilities are just a short stroll away. Although the water in your shower is not heated, the warm environment (28 Celsius/83F) usually ensures a pleasant water temperature. The rooms are serviced daily and all linens and towels are provided.
