Alotau

The Alotau International Hotel is located on scenic Milne Bay, and offers magnificent sea views. This is a small, intimate property with just 22 rooms, all with air conditioning, cable TV, IDD phones, internet access, and a balcony with panoramic views of Milne Bay. Despite its small size, the hotel has 3 dining outlets: By the Bay restaurant for all-day dining, By the Bay Bar for drinks and snacks, and Bayside Barbecue for al fresco dining with sea views.

The first ecotourism property in Alotau, Napatana Lodge is located in beautiful gardens set back from the beach and Milne Bay, and built in traditional polehouse style to blend in with its surroundings.

The lodge has 5 wooden bungalows, all with double and single beds, ensuite bathrooms, cable television, fans, fridges, toasters and tea/coffee-making facilities, as well as a loft if you have an extra guest. There are also "Flashpacker" rooms - twin/double rooms with a bathroom, television, fridge, fan, toaster and tea/coffee-making facilities, and a shared veranda overlooking the gardens. The restaurant offers a range of local international dishes, as well as various theme nights including quizzes, fish and chips and seafood nights. The lodge also has its own nature reserve to take care of the local wildlife, and guests are encouraged to visit and get involved.

This remote resort, only accessible by boat, is located on a volcanic bluff with expansive views of Milne Bay. The surrounding waters are crystal clear, and marine protection regulations keeps them that way. Guests can expect to see dolphin pods frolicking from time to time from their rooms overlooking the bay. This is an ideal diving locale, surrounded by pristine nature in and out of the ocean. The accommodation is made up of locally-styled lodges, built without the help of power tools by local workers. The resort’s dining room, decorated with 18-foot carved totems, features an al fresco dining area on the adjacent verandah. The hotel also has its own pool, and plenty of activities in the surrounding areas to keep guests happy and occupied.
