  • 27.01.14 We really enjoyed our long weekend - the weather was good so made the most of the beautiful beaches; asana was our favourite. The back was perfect - amazingly comfy beds and really well equipped - would highly recommend The Sea Shanti and Claris as the best location to stay on the island- Claris Texas was visited more than once! Need more time to explore some more of the walking tracks. Going home very relaxed! Rob, Emma, Zoe and Hannah (& Granny)
  • 5 – 10 Jan 2015. We have had an absolutely superb week! Loved the bach – it had everything we needed including the best swims on the island - great neighbours too. Our favourite food was at the Angsana Thai Restaurant & an uber-delicious burger at The Hub on Port Fitzroy Wharf (may only be there in summer?) Met lots of interesting residents who were full of pioneering stories. We’re hoping the brakes on the rental car hang in there till we leave this afternoon. J & T x
  • 12 – 18 January 2015. We absolutely loved being here. Thank you for making The Sea Shanti available to us; and for provisioning it so thoughtfully and intelligently making it super relaxing for all who come to stay. We LOVE the Barrier. The McCreedy-Stone family.
  • 8 – 12 March 2015. A great time here! The Sea Shanti super comfortable, and well equipped. Had a lovely time catching up with my family (The Sanderson’s). Ngaire & Basil. Mosgiel, Dunedin.
