Lissenung Island Resort

Lissenung (New Ireland Province)

This idyllic island resort is just a 20-minute boat ride from Kavieng in New Ireland Province and is the ideal base for a PNG diving adventure. Situated only two degrees south of the Equator in the South Pacific, the water averages a balmy 28-30 degrees Celsius. Located on a small private island with tall coconut palms and a beautiful white sandy beach. Think of your own Pacific hideaway with all the necessities provided for an enjoyable stay: Comfortable bungalows with airy verandahs, great meals and, of course, fantastic diving!

The main house has a comfortable area to relax, kick off your shoes when you arrive and put them back on when you leave! The restaurant serves delicious meals with fresh crabs, lobster and other seafood, the white sand beach is ideal for swimming and snorkelling, and the atmosphere is utterly relaxing. There are just 8 rooms in total with four bungalows housing two rooms each, spread out over the island, providing maximum privacy. The bungalows are built in traditional style from local materials, with big, open windows and high ceilings, set above the ground, allowing maximum airflow. The six standard rooms have private bathrooms, while the two Budget Rooms share a bathroom, which is located between the two rooms. Each room features a ceiling fan, screens, mosquito nets, a large desk with natural light (important for photographers) and cupboard space. After diving, the large verandah invites you to relax in comfortable chairs.

Located only a 10 minute's drive from the centre of Oudtshoorn, in the middle of a pristine Karoo landscape with direct views of the Swartberg Mountains, this camp has the perfect backdrop to relax in the tranquil surroundings of this serene, majestic farm. 

Farmer Piet Schoeman is always proud to say that the farm is not an ostrich show farm but an authentic working ostrich farm where guests can see and learn everything about this uniquely South African farming activity. A big portion of the farm has been made available to a wide variety of free-roaming indigenous game like zebra, springbok, blue wildebeest, kudu, impala, eland, waterbuck and nyala. 

Located just off the Garden Route, about an hour north of George, this makes the perfect mid-way stop between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Oudtshoorn has something for everyone in the family, explore the famous Cango Caves, take a drive through the scenic Swartberg Mountain pass.

Located in the heart of the Waterberg plateau in Limpopo, this camps is surrounded by wildlife and tranquil scenery. The unspoiled wilderness of the Waterberg is surrounded by a game reserve encompassing wetlands, open fields, bushy areas and a rocky ridge, the family-friendly camp offers various exciting game-viewing opportunities in a malaria-free environment. 

Highlights include horseback game viewing safaris, guided game drives, hiking, astronomy shows and birdwatching. You can encounter giraffe, zebra, eland, wildebeest, roan, sable, buffalo, kudu, impala, blesbok, waterbuck and ostrich. Cool off in the farm's swimming pool, try a game of volleyball, or visit the lookout decks, Tree Tops, or the Aardvark deck for endless views. 

For the kids, the adventure playground is a firm favourite. With Waterberg's hot summers and moderate winters, the camp is a year-round holiday or weekend destination. All 10 tents are situated along a ridge in the very heart of this plateau where the scenery is one of open vistas stretching to distant horizons bounded by the blue outlines of mountains and hills that form the ramparts of the Waterberg "castle". The Waterberg is a hidden paradise of private game reserves.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
