Driftwood gave us a good, clean and safe base from which to travel to see the true culture and beauty of this area of PNG . Management we're extremely helpful, staff were very pleasant and friendly. Travellers need to be slightly adventurous and searching to explore the area as there are few conventional tours setup.You need to hire local guides to get out of the Alatou area as the town itself has few redeeming features. ##### Raymond and Pam ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotels near Lamai Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lamai-Beach-Hotels.0-l6050552-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Glebe House, Holiday Cottage Nolton Haven, Sleeps 14, 7 bedrooms, bathrooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-Glebe-House.h104273004.Hotel-Information) > - [travelodgeuk Hotels in Wolverhampton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wolverhampton-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d5484--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Lamana Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Moresby-Hotels-Lamana-Hotel.h7981118.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Lyttelton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lyttelton-Christchurch-Hotels.0-n6024079-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Cheap Hotels in Canning Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canning-Town-London-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n553248634834708599-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels near Western General](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Western-General-Hotels.0-l6152274-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels near World of James Herriot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/World-Of-James-Herriot-Hotels.0-l6219066-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Laigueglia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Laigueglia-Hotels.d6122894.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Mountain Hotels in Islamabad](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Islamabad-Hotels-Mountain-Hotel.0-0-d6141508-tmountainhotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Huntington Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Huntington-Beach-Hotels.d8165.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Somerset](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Somerset-Hotels-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d603261-tGayFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Caravan Parks Withernsea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Withernsea-Caravan-Parks.d6341296-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Hotels near Escot Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Escot-Park-Hotels.0-l6204651-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Airways Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Moresby-Hotels-Airways-Hotel.h695940.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Port Moresby Hotel & Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Moresby-Hotels-Hilton-Port-Moresby.h24164898.Hotel-Information) > - [Large 6 bedroom luxury holiday home in the Cotswolds with a hot tub - Folly View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faringdon-Hotels-Contemporary-Barn-Conversion-In-Radcot-Sleeps-14-Guests-In-6-Bedrooms.h57278809.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Tremblay-en-France (CDG) to Sommacampagna (VRN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cdg/vrn/paris-to-verona) > - [Flights from Hervey Bay (HVB) to Flametree (WSY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hvb/wsy/hervey-bay-to-airlie-beach) > - [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Grottaglie (TAR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/tar/london-to-taranto) > - [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Les Abymes (PTP)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/ptp/london-to-pointe-a-pitre) ### Packages > - [Geneva Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Geneva.d180003.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > - [Visit Chickerell](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chickerell.dx3000011971) > - [Visit George](https://www.expedia.co.uk/George.dx1377) > - [Visit Yalikavak](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yalikavak.dx6054841) ---
