What a beautiful place to go for a holiday! Picture perfect location, wonderful hosts, delicious meals. We stayed in a loft bungalow (4 of us), with its own absolute waterfront verandah (with hammock). Beds were super comfortable and power all night to run fans and LED lights. Mozzie nets provided but we didn't need them. Beautiful surroundings with beach or... More

Its exactly 12 months since I experienced the delights of Papatura, however with incredible memories still clear and some recent reviews I felt it was time to share my own experiences. Papatura is a once in a lifetime, extraordinary experience we should all have. Pete and Marg, the owners are magnificent people, who were described by one in my party... More

Travelled to Paptura early December 2011 with a large group of diverse, well travelled surfers. In summary Pros: The island - it's raw, beautiful, isolated and peaceful. A jungle contrast for the suburban visitor. Accommodation - simple but clean, beautifully presented in lush tropical waterfront huts. They've done a great job in a short time and have considered the environment... More

Signed walks, more water activities, flourishing coral garden with resident lion fish, and the best food in the entire Solomon Islands. Fresh seafood and cordon bleu presentation. We know how hard it is to access a continuous supply of fresh fruit and vegetables in Papatura but Marg... More

Papatura Island was the choice for our family holiday despite reading several negative reveiws regarding quality and quantity of food. With these issues in mind we packed heaps of snacks etc for in between meals. Thank God we did as most of the meals provided were of poor quality and not enough to go around. On one occasion my Wife... More

Our holiday in Papatura failed to live up to expectations with ongoing conflict regarding what we paid for and what was additional being a major source of conflict. Be sure you know what you are paying for before you committ. The food was ordinary and instead of eating fresh seafood (caught by ourselves) we were served mushy curries and rice,... More
