This property was a great location for me - lagoon for exercise in the morning and then a short walk to work. Accommodation in Port Vila is expensive, and I don't think you will find better value than Seachange.

Nice and compact. Clean and comfortable.We used it to sleep and eat breakfast. Pool was right outside our room we did use it but due to the time of year it was a tad cool. The staff were helpful and the ower recommended restaurants to use.

Thanks Ian
Ian was an excellent host and made our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. The villa on the water was such a great location, sitting on the balcony relaxing with the lagoon right on the doorstep. The walk up the hill kept the legs working hard but also gave us a great excuse to eat more.

Hidden away at the bottom of the garden next to the lagoon was the lagoon lodge. It was basic but had everything we needed. Could do with a spruce up and a new couch but overall it was great. Ian was a fantastic host helping book a fishing charter and inviting us up for a bbq with other guests. Totally recommend kayaking up the river. Close proximity to town and supermarket. Beautiful gardens and a beautiful wharf to have your morning coffee and watch the sunrise. Thanks Ian and the staff at sea change lodge we had a great stay 🙂

Great stay near everything but still in a quiet ar
A wonderful little guest house with something for everyone. Ian and Oli, owner and manager, were fantastic with the special care they provide. Very convenient location and quiet area but not too far from town center. Pool area could use a little TLC.

Great location, private bungalow
What was excellent: Being upgraded upon arrival to a bungalow ("The Chalet"), thus being literally on the water; being able to walk or catch a 5mn bus ride into town; enjoying quiet times (most of the time); taking advantage of the well-equipped kitchen and having breakfast on the small terasse outside the room. Wifi worked well. Friendly and helpful host.
Not so perfect was the overall condition of the room, with details here and there (furniture) showing it's a bit tired.
Rowdy people on the property very late our last night.

The very comfortable bungalow was on the shore of the lagoon, with a patio area and new wooden jetty. We were in the perfect vantage spot to see beautiful sunsets and the starry nights.
It was a calm tranquil place to stay surrounded by gardens and close to a super market and restaurants. We chose it because it was out of the port area and cruise ship zone but accessible within a short taxi or bus ride!
Ian was a great source of information and very kind - he drove me up the driveway from the lagoon shore when I had a sprained ankle!
I have no reservations in recommending this to people who want to relax in a beautiful spot.

Great value and beautiful guesthouse
We were stuck inside quite a bit because of the horrible weather, and we were very glad it was at Seachange rather than somewhere else! The wifi is the best we have had in Vanuatu, and that allowed us to use those rainy days to do some relaxing in front of movies and some planning for our onwards journey. The place is beautifully decorated and very comfortable as well. When the sun did come out, we were able to pop up for a quick dip in the pool. The view over the lagoon was lovely and the kitchen was well equipped - with Au Bon Marche just a quick walk up the road, we were able to make a couple a lovely meals.

Peaceful lagoon location in Port Vila!
Seachange lodge is set in a beautifully quiet location by Erakor lagoon. Ian, the owner, couldn't have been more helpful in helping Us arrange onward accommodation on Tanna and storing our luggage for us free of charge. The studio has everything you could need and you can kayak to Erakor island which was incredible! Great value for Port Vila.

Great stay in self contained cabin
We stayed in one of the self contained cabins and we really enjoyed it. Less than a ten minute walk to the closest dive shop in Port Vila and there are kayaks to borrow. Good quality on the free wifi. Friendly owner. Will keep this place in mind if we go back to Port Vila.
