it was a great experience in Vanuatu，they are very welcoming people，we booked loogan view studio with decent price，it was convenient to catch bus to the town or u can still walk to town in 20mins，but i dont recommend walking，it was very hot and the road was pretty tough.

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.

I chose the Seachange Lodge because of the good reviews and they were right. It is a very nice, charming and clean place to stay, we had the Studio which included a big fridge and all the necessities you might need in a kitchen during your stay. Bed was great and the garden is a dream. Staff is friendly and everything (Supermarket, Restaurants, Centre) is in a nice walking distance (10-20min) but the best is the owner Ian himself. Not only is he a very nice and kind man, he also tries to help with everything you might need. He even gave us a lift to a restaurant one evening and when we had to go back to the airport at the end of our stay, he offered us a ride as he was going there himself. Just one little thing, we got a new bed sheet every day (!!) but we didn't get fresh towels regularly. You had to ask for them. But if we had told Ian, he would have arranged that too, I'm sure. Definitely recommend!

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.
