Possibly the best kept secret in Luganville. With only 3 rooms, it feels like a home away from home. The hosts, Shendell and Shane, are the best example of laid back warmth. Their attention to detail makes this little b & b style stand a mile ahead of their other, more sophisticated neighbours. The accommodation (for us 3 singles), was... More

LOVE THIS PLACE!! Very relaxing. Private beach. Good food. Great Staff. Cant ask for much more. Its like staying with friends. First, My wife and I are lazy vacationers and this was perfect for us. About the only thing that gets us off the beach is scuba diving (which the USS Coolidge provides, anyway...). BUT, there were a ton of... More

We felt so at home here. Ourselves and another Australian couple whom we did not know shared a transfer from the airport and 1 hour after arriving at barrier beach (after an awesome burger for lunch) the four of us were sharing a car and off to explore million dollar point by snorkel. Shane and shendell have a car you... More

We stayed here for three nights and wish we had stayed longer Shane was a great host - easy to talk to and ready with good advice and help for all the things there are to do on Santo. The Beach House is just plain luxury - this was our only luxury stay in our two week Vanuatu holiday and... More

I'll keep this short and simple. Ten out of ten, picture perfect, exceptional service, the BEST PLACE I HAVE EVER STAYED AT! That's a huge call as I have stayed at hundreds of places throughout Asia, the pacific, Europe, Africa and Australia. Straight out of a picture and by far the best hosts in Shane and Shen. I am so...

This place is fantastic, I was guided by tripadvisor reviews and hit the jackpot. The location, rooms, only 3 fares, activities, home-cooked food, ability to use a car in-house etc. are all great but what sets this place apart from similar places (e.g. resort next door) is the genuine warmth and friendliness of Shane and Shendel, nothing is ever too...

We have just returned from 5 nights at Barrier Beach House. It is an amazing place, located at an excellent beach. It is is a very remote location so is a great place for those looking for a quiet, relaxing get away. Shane was an excellent host who provided great ideas on the best places to visit and was willing... More

Firstly, a shout out to the gracious and relaxed host Shane for making our stay so special. The Fare's are private, super modern and clean and the location is fantastic. Some of the best snorkeling you will ever experience right out in front of the resort. We experienced sea snakes, lion fish, large turtles, sting rays and a plethora of... More

Firstly, our biggest apologies to Shane and Shendel for our very belated review. Lets just say our holiday was over the minute we got back to Sydney! My boyfriend and I stayed at Beach Barrier House for a week in October last year. We happened to have the worst weather that the island had seen for a while but that... More
