Seaview Norfolk Island was an excellent place to stay. Very comfortable bed,I mean really comfortable. The shower was excellent (hot water, good amount/pressure), decent size and it's a standalone shower ie not in a bath). Quality toilet paper, and I liked the little green shampoo they provided (there's also conditioner, liquid handwash soap, bars of soap and other stuff including insect killer spray - you do get the occasional flying bug attracted by the light enter your room). Seaview is an easy walk down to Kingston or into Burnt Pine (town where you'll need to go to eat) and also within the radius that Pinetree, Baunti and other tours pick up from. Has a great view from the common kitchen/dining area (hence the name of the place), has a guest laundromat if Norfolk is part of a longer journey and you need to do washing. It's got a pool and a bottleshop is also on the property. There's a fridge in your room & TV by the way. If you rent a car (which you don't need to, you can walk everywhere on the island) there's a pretty big car park. There is the sound of roosters waking you up, but as someone who walked everywhere, feral chickens (since there are no snakes) are around every place you might stay at.Sure bathroom taps and tiles are old, but they work well. That's all you need.Talking to other people, this is the case everywhere you stay anyway, so if no cracked tiles, freshly painted walls and so forth are a necessity for you, maybe Norfolk Island isn't your destination.

Spacious airy studio apartment with huge covered deck / balcony which has fabulous view and shelters apartment from afternoon sun. Good location. Would have preferred the more modern cottage as the apartments are very tired and need renovating.

Our room was nowhere nearly as large as expected from viewing the website. While the staff did attend immediately to the bathroom door sticking and locking us in on several occasions, and to the water pump needing priming (we were left with no water for quite a while), the main disappointment was that the swimming pool was not serviceable and had not been for a year. The restaurant is now a bottle shop - only on-site food is breakfast for $18 per person for continental. Road into the property is not maintained.

The reception was rarely manned. Our room was quite nice & bathroom recently renovated. However the pool was green & not available for use. There was no outdoor area that was suitable to sit as our balcony was always in shade & was cold & very breezy. However the property was very convenient to shops & restaurants.

I was very happy with my stay at Seaview. It was quiet and beautiful. The hotel was going through renovations during my stay so restaurant was closed as well, but that did not bother me at all. I heard no noise from the workers and really had a good rest. There is a spectacular view of Phillip Island and surroundings. Burnt Pine is a short walk away with lots of food options and shops. Cyclorama is even closer and not to be missed. The hotel arranged my airport transfers and orientation tour via Baunti Tours which offer other amazing experiences as well. My room was good value for money. The best part were the friendly staff.

The manager is rude and intrusive! He offended a friend and property owner on the island from the initial meeting. He is slow to respond to emails and unhelpful with simple requests. He spoke rudely to his staff and was noisy and unclean in keeping his room and outside area tidy, which impacted on the stay of other guests. Had the tv blaring until all hours, empty cans strewn in the balcony, and yelled down from his balcony to his cleaning staff at 7am on a regular basis, disturbing paying customers. The bathroom door did not fully close throughout our stay, resulting in us having to listen to each other in the bathroom, and my 6 year old niece getting stuck in there. Would not recommend!

Fantastic views.

Fantastic views.

Our sea view apartment was just what we needed. We enjoyed watching the sun go down each evening. It was older but very clean and self catering. The beds and seating were comfortable. The manager was always willing to help with any issues that arose.

This property was great and we’re able to walk into town

The view each morning was fabulous!

Great cottages but a little dated. Staff are very willing to assist with whatever you need.

Glorious views and comfortable accommodation. Friendly host and a perfect location.

Friendly staff great view

Seaview provided a very comfortable and enjoyable stay on Norfolk Island. Comfortable beds, great view from the room and walking distance to town. A communal kitchen and eating area was great for preparing meals if you didn't want to eat in one of the excellent eating places. Management was very obliging and helpful.

Couldn't have been happier. My wife and I were there on our honeymoon for 2 weeks in a mountain view cottage. The place was clean, spacious and comfy and is an awesome location, close to both the beach and town. If we go back to Norfolk we will definitely stay her again. The only bad thing this place has is that their pictures on their website really don't do the cottages justice, much nicer than the photos!

Place was advertised as 3stars and that is what it was. Very helpful staff. No wifi available in rooms but we are talking about Norfolk Is ! Upmarket restaurant on premises. Walking distance to commercial centre.
