Seachange Lodge might not be in the center of Port Vila's "action" , however its only a short walk away, and the Lagoon side is by far more relaxing.

There are a couple of larger cottages right by the water but the garden cottages higher up... More

The Seachange Lodge is one of the nicest places we have stayed at, especially the Waterside Chalet. Romance, tranquility and pure comfort! The spa bath is amazing, even the candles are there, ready for use. In the beginning we also stayed a couple of nights in the garden cottage and loved it as well. The rooms are very clean and...
