Seachange Lodge

We booked and payed for a 2 bedroom studio with air-conditioning. Our flight got cancelled and we had to take the next one which meant we arrived 2h later than we set our check in time (which was accepted by the property). Ian was helpful at first picked us up from the airport got us something to eat. Talked very nicely and then told us he thought we weren't coming (I tried contact him over Facebook messenger but no response) so he sold on the room we paid for and we had to stay in a very dirty non air-conditioning 1 bedroom room for the night. We decided to leave the next morning as it was a terrible experience. Please see pics attached. We hat fans fall of walls and ant streets on doors. The sheets and towels were dirty and the whole place was very untidy including the beach... good luck staying there. After complaining we got a minuscule refund as he decided to charge us full for the first night and a big cancellation fee on the 2nd day. I can not recommend.

The accommodation was clean and tidy, and was in a fantastic location. Ian and Oli went out of their way to ensure our stay was everything we had hoped for. The pool was fantastic and it was great to stay in a small complex that allowed you to get to know other guests. Would highly recommend!

Stayed here for 4 weeks while volunteering at the Port Vila Hospital. Ian, Rose, and Oli were so friendly and receptive to any requests. There was a great sense of community and they invited us to many events and gave wonderful recommendations on things to do around the island. The room was cleaned everyday and if there was anything else we needed, we just asked. The pool was very nice to have during the hot afternoons. They were cleaning up the property following a cyclone, but they cleared out fallen debris quickly and the property was very beautiful. We used the kayaks to paddle in the lagoon and loved the dock to sit on for sunrise. Hopefully we get to come back again one day and will stay here again!

Ian, Ollie, Rose & the entire Seachange team were extremely gracious, friendly & accomodating hosts. A friend and I stayed for 3 weeks while on placement at the local hospital & both felt very welcomed and well looked after during our time. Daily cleaning, nice facilities, great local knowledge, helpful organisation of tours/ trips & Ian’s passion for ensuring his guests have an amazing time in Vanuatu make this a great choice for accomodation, all at a reasonable price. It’s well located, not far from the town (or hospital for work/placement) & has stunning views of the lagoon with kayaks available for exploring! I’d recommend this place to anyone, especially for extended stays.
