Adequate and comfortable accommodation is available throughout Papua New Guinea. Generally, it is more expensive than in most Australasian states. There are hotels of international standard in Lae, Madang, Port Moresby and most major centres. Many motels also offer good value accommodation.

There is a developing tourist industry and tourist accommodation is increasing in many hitherto inaccessible areas. There are lodges in the Highlands and on the Sepik River, many of which can only be reached by air or river. Generally they consist of bungalows constructed of local materials.
