We spent a week at Barrier Beach House in late April/May this year and it's hard to overstate how much we loved it and what a wonderful time we had. Santo itself is just heavenly - it's not over-developed or over-touristy - just an untouched sliver of paradise. The villa we stayed in at Barrier Beach House was right on... More

We stayed here for 8 days in April and our only complaint is that we could not stay any longer! White sand beach, flat, clear turquoise water with excellent swimming, even at low tide. The bungalows are just a few meters from the water with a stunning view of the beach. The rooms are beautifully furnished and have lovely touches... More

We stayed here in early April and had a fantastic time. Beautiful setting and fantastic hosts made for a wonderful stay. We're not usually the type to socialise much with other guests but you can't help but do that here - it's a small group of people and you catch up with a hello over breakfast. We even ended up...

Our room was very private and comfortable the special touches of flowers on the bed very romantic! The main outdoor eating area just lovely,very smart yet casual,having wine and cheese on... More

Our private bungalow was beautifully prepared with two walls of wooden louvres keeping the... More

Shendel and Shane are fantastic hosts who offer a completely... More

I was fortunate enough to spend 10 wonderful days at Barrier Beach House. This boutique hotel is managed by a very friendly Australian couple who warmly welcomed me and made sure I was comfortable and relaxed. My room was very comfortable and clean, there is nothing quite like waking up to the sound of waves crashing on the shore! Santo... More

I won't wax verbose about the qualities of this beach, this bed and breakfast, and its hosts. Simply superb, all around. Great amenities, great location, and great service. Shane was extremely personable, and a surprisingly good cook for a landscape designer! I positively cannot wait to return! Thanks!

Yes we returned for another few nights stay as it is so nice staying here. Friendly, relaxed and all your needs met. Well done Shendel & Shane, you are great hosts.
