Hotel on New Britain (Kimbe Bay)
Walindi Plantation Resort
Walindi Plantation Resort, a renowned dive resort with the most accessible reef diving in the world, is located on the island of New Britain, north of the mainland. It is also a working palm oil plantation. The resort is ¾-hour drive from Hoskins airport, past the town of Kimbe. 

Facilities include a pool, tennis court and a photo shop with E-6 processing. Activities offered are numerous—try boating, sport fishing, hiking, hot springs visits and, of course, scuba diving. 

Walindi Plantation Resort in New Britain is a diver's dream come true. A maximum of 22 divers receive undivided attention as they explore the hundreds of reefs and dive sights of Kimbe Bay.

New Guinea's largest offshore island, New Britain, is famous for its magnificent marine life and is regarded as one of the South Pacific's best diving areas.

To fully appreciate the underwater botanical garden and exquisite tropical fish, guests may also opt to cruise the endless ink blue waters on the live-aboard dive boat, the M.V. FeBrina. This 72 foot, fully air-conditioned luxury vessel can transport visitors to spectacular diving attractions in comfort and style, with moorings installed on most dive sites. Life on board the FeBrina is carefree and casual. The only decisions to make are whether to dive, eat, snorkel, sunbathe or retire to the roomy, private cabins.

Back at Walindi, guests float around on a sea of tranquillity, enjoying the exotic ambience of the resort. As Walindi Plantation is the only operator at Kimbe Bay, guests enjoy complete privacy.

Ten waterfront thatched bungalows, each with private bathroom, refrigerator and tea and coffee making facilities provide accommodation which combines a taste of the tropics with the pleasures of modern amenities.

Extensive buffet style meals and the well-stocked bar keep guests well satiated, while activities like swimming, scuba diving, walking, tennis and golf fill in the spaces between dives and doing absolutely nothing at all.

History
The plantation area that surrounds the resort was originally established in 1935. The old plantation was purchased by its present owners, Max and Cecily Benjamin in 1969, and to this day the orderly rows of palm trees still produce palm oil nuts used to produce palm oil.

In 1983 Walindi Plantation Resort was born from the interest of visiting local and overseas scuba divers who recognized the incredible diving in this area. Since then it has been visited by some of the worlds most renowned divers and underwater photographers.
