RAPOPO PLANTATION RESORT
Rapopo Plantation Resort is conveniently located between Kokopo and Tokua Airport and is part of a working plantation. The resort has an idyllic setting, surrounded by a working cocoa and coconut plantation. It is about a 5-minute drive to Kokopo and a 10-minute drive to Tokua (Rabaul) Airport. The resort is right on the beach front, overlooking Pigeon Island and the bellowing Mt Tavurvur. The resort is quiet except the sound of the breaking waves. The magnificent views of Mt Tavurvur at daybreak and sunset are superb. There are landscaped gardens and tropically themed décor and cool comfort with air-conditioning in every room.
Eco-friendly Rapopo Plantation Resort offers deep sea game fishing, internationally-qualified scuba experts to guide you through the magical world of coral gardens, the teeming habitat of the bountiful, multi-coloured marine life, and some excellent World War Two wrecks.
In July, the National Mask Festival opening ceremony is held here, and the festival id just down the road.
