Seaview Lodge
About this stay
Seaview Lodge is a small hotel on the Nukuʻalofa waterfront, next door to the Royal Palace and about 30 minutes from the international airport. It has twelve guest rooms, from standard and garden-view rooms to sea-view rooms, plus a two-bedroom suite. Its restaurant and ocean-view deck are well known in town for their food, and the lodge sells a whale-swim and stay package in season. It suits couples and independent travelers who want a quiet, comfortable room in the capital with a good meal on site.
About Tongatapu
Tongatapu is Tonga's main island and home to the capital, Nuku'alofa, the royal palace and most of the population. It is flat, fringed by reef and dotted with plantations, villages and churches. It suits travellers interested in history and the monarchy, and anyone passing through on the way to Ha'apai or Vava'u. Compared with the outer islands it is busier and more practical, with markets, banks and government offices.
Getting there
Fua'amotu International Airport (TBU) is about 20 kilometres from Nuku'alofa. Flights connect with Auckland, Sydney, Brisbane and Nadi. Domestic flights and the inter-island ferry link Tongatapu with Ha'apai, Vava'u and 'Eua.
