Our group of 12 birdwatchers stayed there for three nights. Good food and good sleep, thanks to bed heaters, otherwise it is really overpriced place to stay. More

Ambua Lodge is operated by Trans Nuigini Tours (TNT) just outside Tari in the Southern Highlands Province. I have reviewed TNT operations separately on TripAdvisor, so will only comment on the lodge here. The rooms are nice, but basic. In PNG they are certainly luxury by any stretch of the imagination but by any other standards they are far from... More

We went to Ambua Lodge as part of a Trans Niugini Tours package, and we stayed there 3 nights. I will say at the outset that I really liked Ambua Lodge overall, BUT there were some problems. The Bad: On our second day here, we had a bit of a scare with raskols, which is not at all what we... More

This is just to expand upon and update some of the previous exceptional reviews by others. Our price for a 5-night stay was about $360 per night per person. The reason I rated Ambua as 4 stars was that some might expect luxuries generally associated with 5-star resorts which are not present there but considering the location, etc. it is... More

Ambua Lodge is as photogenic as the brochure photos. It is very picturesque, well maintained with the full comforts of home:plenty of hot water, good sized bathroom, good kitchen, very comfortable beds but minus telephone, t.v., radio, internet/mobile service or hairdryer. The Lodge is comprised of about 40 individual round huts, with 180 degrees picture window, French doors opening outward... More

Since Trans Niugini Tours – the operator of Ambua Lodge – offers „all inclusive“ Packages at the lodges I am going to do a review not only for the accommodation but for the whole package: Some notes before ---------------------- I try to write in an objective way so you know what you can expect at the lodge. However from a... More
