Hotel
This is the new hotel at Mt.
Hagen, Western Highlands, New Guinea, which will open for business this month.
Finishing touches were being made to it in November when I took this photo.
Mt. Hagen is one of the most pleasant spots in the New Guinea Highlands, but until now hits been out of range of most travellers be cause there has been no accommodation. Probably even now the hotel is going to be inadequate for the de mands that will be put upon it.
The building on the left of the picture is the lounge, bar and dining room; and the bedroom block of six double rooms is to the right. It is expected that the next de velopment will be the erection of detached bungalows — or dongas, as they are called in the Territory.
The hotel is owned by a local syndicate, one member of which is Mr. M. Zebrovius, who in November was actu ally building it and, when it opens, will, with his wife,
manage it.-
