Located in the far northeast of Port Moresby, Gerehu is a large residential suburb on the city's outskirts, traditionally catering to lower-middle-class workers and families. It is one of the city's larger suburbs, subdivided into stages ranging from 1 to 7. Gerehu provides essential amenities, including small supermarkets, schools, and fresh food markets.

With improved access through roads like the Sivari-Baruni Road, the area has seen development, with businesses purchasing land for warehousing following the relocation of the main Port Moresby wharf to Motukea.

Key Information

Located in the far north of Port Moresby, Gerehu primarily serves lower-middle-class workers, with many blue-collar employees residing here and working in local warehouses, mainly along Taurama Ave and Nigibata Road. The Sivari-Baruni Road, upgraded in 2018, connects Gerehu to Waigani Drive and the main Port Moresby wharf, leading to an influx of businesses relocating their warehouses to the area and increased investment, including the opening of Mosin Plaza in 2019.

The housing market in Gerehu is generally more affordable, with most standalone homes available for rent at under K1,000 per week. The suburb holds significant potential for development, and many new homeowners are investing in renovations or building new properties as the city expands beyond Waigani.

Things To Do in Gerehu

Gerehu offers many small supermarkets and a market that provides residents with fresh garden produce daily.

Waigani Drive connects Gerehu to the rest of Port Moresby and is the main route for the daily commute to work for the majority. Newly developed roads have linked Gerehu to the Napa Napa Road which leads to either Downtown Port Moresby or Motukea Wharf on the East. The Keni-Vani Road links Gerehu directly to 9 Mile and Morata and currently provides an alternative route to the congested Waigani Drive.

Bus Routes No.7 and 9 run daily between Gerehu, Waigani and Gordons.
