Another option where the grounds are prettier than the accommodation. Good for self-caterers because the units come with a kitchenette including a stove and fridge. The bigger rooms sleep four.
If you don't mind being this far from the town centre, this is a good budget option. Bathroom and kitchen facilities are shared and it's a lot like a university dorm with segregated buildings for men and women.
Right in the centre of town behind the post office. Clean and straight, the two-storey house has shared rooms and facilities.
Bird of Paradise Hotel 'The Bird' is getting a bit tatty around the edges but otherwise aging gracefully. The rooms are large, comfortable and the ones facing the garden are better than those facing the street.
Also recommended should everything be booked out during the Goroka show: YWCA Guesthouse women only. Shared facilities and a communal kitchen.
Run by the same crowd as the Mendikwae Lodge, this place is little more than a bed in a box. It's in West Goroka.
Opened in 2007, the Diwai has a pleasant outlook over the Zokozoi River but is a good 10 minutes' walk from the town centre. Rooms are comfortable if plain, have tea and coffee making facilities and breakfast is included in the rate.
These self-contained units have two rooms, a double bed in one, two singles in the other, a kitchen with utensils and TV. Good choice for a group or family.
Should everything be booked out during the Goroka show, book Goroka Lodge. This place hasn't been redecorated since independence. Meals available.
Recently built, this good value, dorm-style accommodation has two bunks per room, free laundry, a shared kitchen and a TV in the common room.
Run by the same people that run the Mendikwae Lodge. Rooms share the large communal lounge and kitchen.
