Everything was excellent! View, location, big rooms, cleanliness. Next to hotel is a good place for dinning. And of course thanks for Angela we felt us as home. Also booking was easy. The answers to the e-mail came fast and with suggestions.

Sunset Lodge is a great place to stay on CI. This is my 7th run to CI in 3 years and you can not fault the service, the rooms or the view. As I write this I can hear the ocean pounding the shores - Mother Nature has reminded us of her power with squalls and high seas all day,... More

My original stay on Christmas Island was meant to be for only 2 nights, but due to flight issues I was found stranded on the Island for another 3 days and on Chinese New Year Weekend. Thanks to Angela this was not an issue, one phone call from the airport had me pick up and a room ready for me... More

The room I had was large and clean. The manager/owner was great, she knew all the tricks and tips about how to get... More

When you compare the remoteness of Christmas Island against other northern WA towns, the cost of food at Christmas Island and the demand on accommodation here, the price for ocean views is surprisingly low. This is my fourth trip back in 8 years. The accommodation has always been neat, clean and with all the amenities you need, its a place... More

Located at the Settlement, this lodge is within walking distance of restaurants, post office, visitor center, Flying Fish Cove. Very convenient location. Great view in the evening of the Indian Ocean. Peaceful and quiet. Had a most wonderful stay, watching the red crab migration and forest trekking. Rooms are clean and spacious. Highly recommended.

The place is named the Sunset for a reason. The views are magnificent! Angela ia one of the friendliest hosts you could wish for. I was really impressed that before I asked, she had worked out that I was leaving for the airport in the afternnon, and so she offered me a late checkout without even being asked. The Sunset... More

Amazing view over the ocean and Flying Fish Cove. Owners Angela and Dennis couldn't do enough for you. Daily room service. Swimming pool to cool you down at the end of a hot day. Very clean. Air-conditioned for comfort. What more could you want. Cafe and Restaurant in walking distance for breakfast and dinner.
