Offering an beautiful waterfront location, Seaview Lodge and Restaurant offers free WiFi and free bicycle hire to explore the area. The on-site restaurant serves international gourmet cuisine.

Breakfast was very good. It’s advertised as free but that is the continental breakfast I believe. Ordered off the menu instead and it was delicious. Plus the setting and ambiance is really nice. Highly recommend! Also the bartender (I can’t recall his name unfortunately) is very helpful and makes sure you have everything you need. The owners/managers were very kind as well. Also, it is reasonably walkable to all the main spots like restaurants and bars on the Main Street.

The family-run Green Lodge is an eco-tourism business set in the heart of a characteristic Tongan village, just 5 minutes’ drive from Nuku'alofa.

What Guests Said About Nuku‘alofa:

    It was a real culture shock arriving on Tongatapu.

    It was a real culture shock arriving on Tongatapu. None of the information on the internet is current or correct, and none of the tour operators respond to your requests so it's difficult to lock in activities. We found it easier booking things in person once we arrived. Cash is king. It is also difficult to get around without a car, so would recommend hiring one, but be aware that insurance can be an issue. That said, we had a great time once we worked out some of these quirks! Highly recommend getting off the mainland to a nearby island or for whale watching. The tsunami destroyed most of the resorts on the island so beware that it's not your standard tropical destination.

    Visiting relatives was wonderful.

    Visiting relatives was wonderful. Meeting julie fonua exceptionally great. I ate at a restaurant and it was ok. Not easy to get around but I usally walk around but didnt know my way from there, I have a drivers license but prefer to walk and a map to get around from House of Tonga would have been helpful. Activities my family had arranged so was pretty booked up but was able to catch up with a friend Reverend Atunaisa & Mangu Ngalu.

    Beautiful friendly people, lovely location with interesting sites to see. Escape Cafe is great for eats. Plenty of sites to see...definitely go to Anahulu caves and the Blow Holes. Western tip of the island was not great, but there were some nice beaches on the way (southern coast).

    It’s absolutely a developing city.

    It’s absolutely a developing city. As the capital of the country, it lacks basic infrastructure. The local people does not have enough cultural life. Young people like to drive cars on the beach road with very loudly music, esp. in the evening to mid night. General speaking, the local people is kind and polite.

    Enjoyed the main market in town

    Enjoyed the main market in town Really loved the Seafood 12 Cafe with their seafood especially the ‘Ota or raw fish and sashimi Another place to visit is Friends Cafe for Breakfast lunch and early dinner. Unfortunately it’ quite noisy at night with the night club music. It is easy to get around Nuku’alofa by taxi, public transport or rental vehicles Swimming pools at Tanoa is always a highlight for kids
