What They Say
Guest Reviews
Good value accommodation in a great location
Lovely old place, (took me back to yester year) good views and in a quiet location, comfy bed with all needed to cater for yourself. Good restaurants and shops near by. Great Hosts that looked after us😊.
A home away from home
Seachange felt like a home away from home and a great location to explore the beautiful Vanuatu. Oli was so friendly and welcoming and helped me orient myself in Vanuatu.
Perfect stay to discover Port Villa
Second time in Port Villa, and really enjoyed this time. Super quite place, surrounded by greenery, really walkable distance to the centre and in few minutes for the super market. Easy check in process and room with everything you need, included fully equipped kitchenette.
All good 😊
Amazing location, kind host and lovely hotel!
Ian was an incredible host, he took great interest in our plans and helped us with it all. It is a very social hotel, with Ian organising group activities such as trivia in the evening. The room was clean and well equipped, and the pool was great! I definitely recommend staying here.
Beautiful property facing the lagoon
The property location is spectacular facing a lagoon with beautiful vegetation around and birds singing. The breeze from the lagoon is so pleasant and refreshing you will hardly ever need the AC or a fan in the apartment. It is like a peaceful haven near the town centre, approx 15-20 min walk or just a few minutes by public buses. The apartment was well equipped and comfortable. The owner Ian is the most kind and helpful person, he showed me the best spots to eat and have a drink in town. The receptionist Oli is like a walking encyclopedia 😀 she will help you and explain how to move around the town, the island and best ways to travel to other islands. She knows everything. I will definitely stay at Seachange next time I come to beautiful Vanuatu.

Vanuatu was voted the Happiest Country on Earth in 2006. You will find the people friendly and only too happy to assist the visitor. There is no problem moving anywhere in Vanautu and there are no nasty creepy crawlies with poisonous bites, waiting for a victim, in the bush.
The only word of caution, as in any country in the world, it is not advisable for women to wander around on their own at night. There is always the rebel element in every society who want to make fun after a few drinks.
Is it safe to drink the tap water?
Absolutely. We never buy water ourselves, but drink from the tap.
