What is the cost of renting a three bedroom (above average) apartment in PNG especially around the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG)

I am not aware of any (above average) apartments around UPNG.  The closest "apartments" would be at the Islander Village or possibly in the Gordon's area.  These can range from K1000 to K3000 per week.  (At the time of replying K1 = about 37 to 38 US cents).  "Above average" is very subjective depending on what you call average.  i.e. above average to someone from a remote pacific island could possible be below average or not even meet your minimum standards.

Of course my standards could be a lot higher than yours or maybe they are lower.  I would hazard a guess that _ALL_ expat accommodation is way above average for a typical PNG worker who has just arrived from a remote village for the first time but that is subjective to your own way of thinking. 

If you normally live in a mansion then very few places in PNG would meet your expectations.
