Our Partner Organisation - Agnes Gateway Hotel
Agnes Gateway Hotel started as a government rest house in the early 1960's (Munda Government Rest House) before Solomon Islands gained its independence. In 1977, the rest house was put to tender and Agnes Kera took the opportunity to develop Agnes Lodge. The lodge was incorporated in 1984.
At a later stage, Agnes’ children took over the running the lodge, set up a board, and changed its name to Agnes Gateway Hotel.
Agnes Gateway Hotel is the largest tourism offering in Munda, Western Province. It is located in the heart of Munda is s walking distance from the airport and the small business district, and is on the shore of the Roviana Lagoon. It offers accommodation meals to those who stay in Munda and those passing through. Apart from offering memorable sunsets and seafood, the Hotel offers scuba diving and snorkelling at world-class sites that have under water wonders and World War II relics, fishing, travel to nearby land-based World War II sites, a rain forest, and visits to tropical island atolls.
