Mapang Missionary Home

Top choice in Port Moresby


In central Boroko, this snug guesthouse is clean as a whistle, secure, and run by an affable, knowledgeable American missionary couple. The best budget option in Moresby comes with a communal lounge, kitchen and library, and complimentary broadband internet wired to each room. Caters mostly to missionaries; weekends are your best bet. Great ratio of guests per shared bathroom.
