Property Information:
A half-hour boat ride from Tufi follow the coast South and visit Jebo. Jebo has a beautiful white coral sandy beach and a guesthouse. The shallow coral reef is perfect for snorkelling in crystal clear, tropical waters.
Lancelot Ginari, the owner of the guest-house, will greet you on arrival and show you the facilities. By boat you can visit the spectacular waterfalls.
Visit the three spectacular waterfalls, just ten minutes by boat down the adjacent Fjord. Jump into the water and swim right under the waterfall, the cool water splashing on your head and the warm water on your body make a therapeutic combination. Dont forget to bring your camera. Rugged cliffs surround the waterfalls. The pristine rainforest is the home to many exotic birds.
This is the true nature of Papua New Guinea. By the time you get back to Jebo, the local men have been busy catching fresh lobster and fish for lunch. Enjoy a magnificent meal of local vegetables and freshly caught seafood.
Village guest houses and village homestays provide very basic but adequate accommodation. You will sleep on a clean bed either on a raised bed frame or laid out on a beautifully woven mat on the floor, protected by an insect net. The room will have a table and chair and somewhere to hang your towel and clothes.
Jebo Beach Bungalow is the 'beach hut' option which suits those who like to spend a lot of time in the water swimming and snorkelling. The hut has a sandy floor and the toilet and freshwater bathing facilities are inland from the beach. Jebo Beach Bunaglow is best suited to those who don't mind the wind blowing sand into everything, and the occasional hermit crab nibbling on the toes at night !
While some villages have piped water, others rely on water carried from a nearby stream. Guests can bathe in the stream or scoop water over themselves in a private outdoor bathroom. Alternatively, paddle to the nearest fjord waterfall and stand under Nature's shower.
Guest toilets at village stays are private pit latrines discreetly located a short distance from the bungalow. Water is also available in containers outside the guest bungalow for washing hands and brushing teeth. Toilet paper, soap etc is provided, or BYO favourite brand.
Meals at village stays around Tufi are cooked in the traditional way. Seafood including reef fish is always on the menu and the local specialty is freshly caught crayfish (lobster) cooked in a variety of ways such as boiled in coconut milk, barbequed and curried.
Meals always feature local vegetables and seasonal fruits including sweet potatoes, yams (similar to a stringy potato), ripe bananas, juicy pineapples, and local oranges. Meals are prepared over an open fire, often using the traditional Oro claypots. Guests will be fed, fed and fed some more. Your favourite food items can be brought with you from Port Moresby if required, your hosts will not be offended... especially if you share!
