A family-run hotel with over a decade of hosting travellers on the East New Britain coast.
Kokopo Stay started as a six-room guesthouse run by the Namaliu family and has grown into an 18-room boutique hotel — without losing the personal touch that guests keep coming back for.
Today the team is still mostly local, many trained in-house, and still greets returning guests by name. We built this hotel around the coastline we grew up on, and we like sharing it.
Hospitality that feels personal, not scripted.
Sourcing from Kokopo's own market and community.
The same standard, whether it's your first visit or your fifth.
A selection of reviews from recent stays.
"The ocean view suite was worth every kina. Staff remembered our names by day two and had cold towels waiting after our dive trips."
"Walked to the market in the morning, snorkelled in the afternoon, and the restaurant's grilled fish alone is worth the trip. Perfect location."
"Family bungalow was spacious and the breakfast spread never got old. Wi-Fi dropped once but the front desk sorted it fast."
"Booked the Presidential Suite for our anniversary — the plunge pool at sunset was unforgettable. Already planning to come back."
"Airport shuttle was on time, room was spotless, and the staff gave us honest tips on where to eat around town."
"Garden view room was quiet and comfortable — great value if you're not fussed about an ocean view. Pool area is lovely too."
We'd love to host your next stay in Kokopo.
