Tucked away between the Port Moresby CBD and Motukea Internation Wharf is the former Red Sea Lodge site, now called Green Hills Accommodation Village
While known for hosting corporate guests on short-term assignments, part of the property’s true distinction lies in its high-capacity catering operation, which prides itself on being one of the most professionally managed services in the city.
The kitchen is certified under ISO 22000 and audited annually by TQCSI International in Australia, placing it among the few catering facilities in Papua New Guinea with this level of accreditation.
“When we provide meals, we’re delivering food prepared to an international standard,” says the catering manager Alice Futter , who has more than 25 years of global hospitality experience and over a decade of service in PNG.
Operating since 2020, the kitchen currently produces an average of 600 meals per day for corporate clients, including industrial sites, educational institutions and other commercial operations. Previous and current clients include Puma, Black Swan International (BSI), ExxonMobil, Australian Federal Police and Motukea International Terminal.
To address industry-wide skills shortages, Green Hills has established a structured internal training programme covering food safety, bacteria control, temperature management, hygiene and international kitchen processes.
Delivered on-site over eight hours, the programme equips staff to perform to ISO-certified standards while contributing to the wider development of PNG’s hospitality workforce.
Green Hills is also leading Port Moresby’s shift toward sustainable catering. The company has introduced reusable metal food service containers , wooden cutlery and offers environmentally friendly packaging, supported by a full recovery-and-sanitisation cycle. This system required careful planning and investment but now forms one of its strongest value propositions for environmentally conscious clients.
Local sourcing remains central to operations. Fresh fruits and vegetables are purchased directly from the Highlands, with additional supplies from local markets. The company also employs workers from communities such as Baruni and Porebada, offering transport to ensure consistent access to employment.
Reliability underpins the Green Hills service philosophy. With a dedicated delivery fleet, the team ensures punctual, consistent meal service across Port Moresby and works closely with clients to maintain quality while meeting budget requirements.
The accommodation village also features a relaxed bar and bistro and a small à la carte kitchen offering pizzas and casual meals, making it a convenient venue for after-work gatherings and small functions.
Green Hills Hospitality Services stands out as a fully-fledged operation distinguished by rare international certification, a sustainable approach, strong local engagement and a well-managed catering service in a market where safe, on-time delivery is vital.
