A place to feel safe and at peace with lovely view
The hosts from the moment we were greeted to showing us throughout the villa. Really felt at peace, a very private villa and home away from home. Would buy the property if I could!!!! Will definitely return

Villa with a stunning view
Firstly, it is not ön the beach"but on top of cliff as shown in photo. To access beach is precipitous cliff path, or short car drive. I am allergic to mosquitos and not all windows were screened and we had unwelcome "visitors"- also ants in the bed on three occasions and in my hair. Nothing was left that could have attracted them!!! Property is in glorious location, once you have mastered the very rough unmade tracks that are full of deep potholes. You know you have nearly arrived when you pass delapidated rundown sheds and farming equipment! Linen changed once a week . There is a washing machine in the unit's laundry. Gets dark by around 6.30 and there is no "street"lighting and so its quite an ädventure" to get in to town and avoid the deep potholes and animals/cows etc. who have right of way. We mostly self catered at night because of this. Our visit was for two weeks. One would have been enough.,. Norfolk Island has changed very little since I was last there 60 years ago! Be aware of high costs for petrol, food etc. A hire car is essential. Try to get car ïncluded". We didnt and it was a considerable additional expense. Also, regarding swimming pool? There is one but not for general use. It is attached to their premier accommodation. So, not on beach and no swimming pool, however, the view is fabulous and the location very peaceful.

Great villa No1 had best views
We selected Shearwater from the fabulous reviews and we were not disappointed we drove the whole island end to end and did not come across another establishment that we would swap it with. The holiday went smoothly from the time our guests met us at the airport supervised car hire and guided us back to the villa. The sea shores and headlands are amongst the best we have experienced. The only issues we had was with a number of the tour operator staff in the tour offices who could learn to be a little more friendly. But outside of that was a great holiday.

Tranquil setting with wonderful views
Were met at the airport by our hosts; it was a short drive to our secluded accommodation, with wonderful views over Kingston and Phillip Island. The villa had everything you could possibly need; the hosts provided us with lots of information to make our stay more enjoyable. Thank you Charisse, Melissa & William. Had a lovely relaxing week exploring the beautiful island and eating the tasty local food while being entertained by the locals.

You can't go wrong at Shearwater!
We had the most amazing stay at Shearwater. You can't get better hosts.. they went above and beyond. Every morning we woke to a stunning view of Kingston. Our villa had everything we needed and more with unexpected, homely touches to welcome us. The villas are spacious and all with a great view, gorgeous surrounds and we were so sad to leave after our 7 days. We can only highly recommend Shearwater. We were so happy with our choice and look forward to returning again.

Wonderful place to stay.
Loved the privacy but still a close drive to Kingston and Burnt Pine. Management extremely helpful. Magnificent view from our villa. Villas not on top of each other. Villa for 2 very spacious and lacked nothing.

Amazing sea views
Stayed on Norfolk Island for the first time at Shearwater where we had a lovely, private villa with amazing sea views. The staff were very helpful and the grounds around our villa were well maintained and full of flowers. The people we met were all very friendly, there were no concerns about any items being stolen - nobody locked up properties or vehicles often leaving expensive items on view ........ all of this meant it provided a wonderful place to stay and despite its location a very long way from our home in the UK - we will return!

Lovely unit with awesome views
A wonderful place to holiday, definately would stay again. The owner and managers were great, always happy offer advise on where to visit, places to eat or just say hello. The one and only thing I would sunset is maybe a fan in the room as sometimes it can get quite warm.

Wonderful views from cliff top across to Kingston
This was my 4th visit to beautiful Norfolk Island and my 2nd stay of a week each time at Shearwater Villas in the Tropic Bird studio. I love the tranquility and sense of peace; the sweeping views across the Pacific Ocean to nearby Phillip and Nepean Islands, as well as down to Kingston pier; the towering Norfolk Pine trees; the swimming pool with loungers and the rural aspect of the owner's 5 beautiful caramel coloured cows saying hello across the fence! The studio apartment is perfect for a solo traveller or a couple. It is compact, but contains everything you need. the hire car which is included in the rate, was modern and economical- an important consideration on Norfolk Island as petrol is expensive! I was fortunate to meet the charming and friendly owner of Shearwater, Charisse Clarke, this visit. She and her managers, Rachel and Linden, all made me feel very welcome. From the front lawn of Tropic Bird, I was able to watch the ship at anchor off Kingston, being unloaded by the men in their lighters. This is quite an experience. There are lovely sunrise and sunset views from Shearwater and nearby Point Ross. The stars are quite brilliant as there is no air pollution and bird watching from your cliff top position at Shearwater, is wonderful.
