Walindi Plantation Resort

Top choice in New Britain


This beautifully designed resort run by Cheyne and Ema Benjamin is highly recommended for divers due to its full-service on-site dive centre and easy access to the famous reefs of Kimbe Bay. The 12 traditional-style bungalows and eight smaller but equally attractive ‘plantation house’ rooms are surrounded by jungle-like gardens thick with birdsong. Excellent service and food.

Aside from diving, Walindi offers excellent birdwatching tours as well as trips to a volcano, a local village, and WWII plane wrecks among other activities. Airport transfers available (per person return US$90). The resort is constructed with energy-efficient design from sustainable materials.
