Kalibobo Village is located in one of the prime locations in Madang town, with a large stretch of coastline overlooking the beautiful Madang Harbour. The grounds are spacious and well looked-after, with both a large pool and a lagoon. There is a nice restaurant that serves a wide range of quality food and drinks. It's the perfect place to stay if you want to explore Madang, offering harbour cruises, scuba diving and snorkelling tours, kayak, stand-up paddleboard and sailboat hire, as well as villages tours and other land-based activities. The town centre, including the main market, banks and stores, are only about 500 metres away. Overall, a great place to stay in Madang!
What a fantastic location! The property is located right on the waterfront with lush gardens, sparkling big pool and beautiful views across the harbour. It is also within easy walking distance to the town centre, markets and the Lighthouse. There are lots of artefacts available nearby. We highly recommend the waterfront rooms, we saw dolphins from our balcony. The resort has a good restaurant and very friendly and professional staff. The islands and surrounding reefs are easily accessible. A very relaxing stay!
We arrived at Madang, Papua New Guinea as part of our 43 day Maasdam cruise circling Japan to Sydney, Australia. After docking at the commercial port, we disembarked to visit Sir Donald Cleland Park, the Provincial Museum, Machine Gun Beach and the Coast watchers Light before ending up at this resort. Their 2 story lobby had a money exchange, hair salon, gift shop and reception to arrange for use of their large pool. We walked the garden that ran for 500 meters along the seafront seeing several Victoria crowned pigeons among their many flowering plants and trees. After stopping to see their large 2 story restaurant, we took their free shuttle back to the port knowing where we found the top place to stay on a visit to this town of 28,000.
We 9 friends have just had the best trip via Kalibobo Village & Resort on their luxury cruise boat "Kalibobo Spirit" - an expedition cruise on the Sepik river & to the volcano islands near its mouth. With the veteran owner-operator of the complex aboard as skipper & another PNG old hand in Dame Carol Kidu as guest lecturer plus the ruling Miss Pacific Islands & her team along, we were introduced to one of the world's unspoilt natural wonders - and the remarkable village peoples. Both Sir Peter & Dame Carol are evidently held in high regard and we could not have had better welcome everywhere. The river was running high after the wet season so our "river truck" had us landing in the heart of villages, planing along the wide river for miles, steering along what were normally jungle paths, or working through narrow "barat" canals to access remote villages - & always to a warm welcome where we could add a little cash to village economies. Each one had their own specialty in crafts & while we could not match the wonderful collection of artefacts at Kalibobo, we did bring home some remarkable pieces. Sir Peter brought back a young Cassowary for the resort gardens! The "Spirit" is a high quality cruise vessel with a large hospitable crew & provided a perfect home on the big river. This is an outstanding travel experience!…
The Sepik River Cruise aboard the Kalibobo Spirit from Madang Province across the Sepik River was an amazing experience! Prepare to be blown away by the humility of the locals and enriched by culture along the banks of the Mighty Sepik River. See Papua New Guinea as it is, pure and real! Whilst on the expedition the hospitality we received made us feel at home in a luxurious setting. From the amenities and facilities provided on board, the bar, being catered for by a 100% local crew, the three course meals each day upon the River surely added to the award-winning experience. When we returned to Madang Resort Hotel, we stayed at the White-House. This is one of the newest additions. The rooms are luxurious and feature a lush balcony view, with the sea-view not far off. I would definitely look at taking one of their expeditions again, also to other provinces on offer... Staying at the Resort was quite relaxing, secluded from the stressful activities of city life.…
The rooms in the Village are very spacious, clean, comfortable and well maintained. Staff are very accommodating, courteous and very helpful. The grounds offer a well maintained tropical atmosphere which goes with the integrated facilities which include a pool, tennis court, gym and a number of water based activities. Food is very enjoyable with a wide ranging menu in the restaurant. A great location for a break to rest and relax or to use as a base to indulge in the many activities available around Madang.
I was in Madang last week and my company booked me in Kalibobo Village. I got a nice villa with balcony. I had a lovely seaview room. The villa is old but still a lovely place to stay with. Two comments: 1. Make sure to replace the curtains when it's really really dirty. My curtain from the shower had a some sort of cocoon. 2. Check the source of ants and prepare a handy ant spray. Thank you for hosting us!
Room, massive & fantastic with waterfront waves outside the balcony. Food, ambience at the Haus Win Restaurant top quality. Check the oysters out!!!!! Tennis court, diving, BBQ over on private islands, what more could you want...
Had an amazing experience with the Kalibobo Village, the staff are always very nice and helpful with anything you need. The rooms were very nice and it is always beautiful waking up beside the water. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone as you will not regret your decision. All up a fantastic stay and it was also lovely to play some tennis with family and friends.
