Love the pizza! If you are in Port Moresby, be sure to pass by. The pizza takes 10 minutes or less, it’s fresh and the staff are very friendly . A place that you have to visit! I ordered pizza from there a couple of times and they never disappoint

My first trip to Port Moresby, and just an overnight stay but I needn't have worried. Felt very secure at The Shady Rest (behind high gates, with security guards...) the room seemed fine, and all the staff were unfailingly polite and helpful. If you're worried about security and concerned about the high accommodation prices in Port Moresby, my advice would be to book in at Shady Rest for a nice, affordable stay. If I'm ever travelling this way again, I'd definitely go back to The Shady Rest (was sorry to miss the Indian restaurant ... next time)

Staying 4 nights at this hotel was an amazing experience. Newly renovated premier room.ended up with the double and had an amazing huge bathtub. Was not expecting the hotel to have rooms with Tubs in their bathrooms ... had amazing bubbles baths in it ....bathroom amenities were good and extras were provided when asked for in a few minutes. Beautiful wall arts around the room and a mini fridge and a personal Safe for our belongings . Room service was excellent very Prompt helpful and polite... I am sure to recommend this hotel for business trips or leisure as their service is excellent. I definately will come back soon .... Thank you to the management and entire staff .

It’s been a while since my last business trip back up to Papua New Guinea. Since my last visit and my experience I opted to stay at the Shady Rest Hotel again. I booked to stay in their executive one bed room suite. The room came with a kitchenette with essential cutleries and a living room. Since my last stay the notable was queen size bed, a large 32” Flat screen and most important - Free Wifi. Housekeeping was on point. And the staff are helpful and alway there to assist when you need it. The court yard had a tropical feel to it and they certainly have recently may have done some work to the garden. It was lush, green and full of tropical plants. They have done some upgrade since my last stay. Well done. There is a few things to improve but all in all, an great experience. …

The Cellar Restaraunt at the Shady Rest Hotel which features authentic and delicious Indian cuisine, I have to rate excellent! There you’ll find the best Butter chicken in the city hands down, I have had all over the city and has not been matched for flavour anywhere else. The specials are also very good, my favourite being the Lobster Mornay. I highly recommend this Restaraunt to travellers and anyone in the city looking for a good meal 👍 Claire.
