Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We must remember that Lae Yacht Club is a members club, being for the members, by the members.
However, for visitors the management is very liberal, and access is readily available.
The Club, as you would imagine, is on the sea in a semi-industrial and shipping area of Lae. The view out to the Huon Gulf is unobstructed, apart from the numerous cruising yacht moored in the marina.
From time to time I manage a break from my office and take a leisurely lunch at the Yacht Club. Fare is typical of a members club, pretty much standard pub grub. The menu is quite limited, and reasonably expensive, compared with other eateries in Lae.
One of my favourite meals is the works burger, which is quite filling, however at a price of around PGK29 (US$8.50). Cooking time is hit and miss, and generally on the slow side, although waitress service is good and friendly. Soft drinks will set you back PGK5, beer twice that.
However, the view over the ocean makes it all worthwhile.

There was not a lot of choices of venues to eat in Lae but the food was pretty good quality and reasonably priced. Need to pick the times to go there - reasonably quite for lunch but very busy on the one night our group was there and it seemed to the family night! The choice of wines was good and also reasonably priced.

You can come here for lunch,and overlook the murky waters. In the evenings you must come with a member. They have a Commodore there, he's a nice guy very friendly. Many expates come here in the evenings.

With the somewhat limited choices available I would always go to the Lae Yacht Club. It has a variety of meals available and the quality of generally good. Today it was Prawn Cutlets and chips. It was great!

Waitresses and bartenders could use some proper training in Customer service. Would love to be greeted by some friendly hosts on arrival who treats every customer politely rather than just the white people dining in.
If you’re an islander, check out the other restaurants in Lae if you don’t want to be disappointed.
I pray for better changes in the future for the Yacht Club!
