Ask a questionAbout Sharee Evans
We are living the dream at Separation Creek, in our house at the rear of our gorgeous Sea Zen studio. We live a quiet life and love to greet our guests then leave them to enjoy their stay in total privacy. It is a long way from our former corporate lives for Sibylle and myself, and we get involved in the local community and wildlife conservation. I am the chair of the local tourism association and Sibylle started up our local street libraries as well as her international Snow leopard conservation work. Most days we will take our frisky Bordoodle 'Tanook' for a walk on the beach. Being dog lovers, we encourage our Sea Zen guests to bring their dog as part of the family.
Sharee Evans purchased this Studio in 2010
Why Sharee Evans chose Separation Creek
In 2011, we built Sea Zen from the bare earth, to be the ultimate place for romantic couples to stay for a luxury experience that could not be replicated anywhere else. The land we chose was close to the beach with a glorious view, but back from the Ocean Road enough to miss the road noise, and to nestle into the trees and local gardens. The design is heavily influenced by Japanese style with giant Shoji Screens, Japanese fabrics, Japanese Art and crockery. The experience has none of the Japanese sleeping on the floor, but a sumptuous bed and decadent couch to give western comfort. Sea Zen is totally unique. There is nothing is like it anywhere. Builders who come and stay are impressed with the craftsmanship. We just love its feel. Occasionally we will journey back to Kyoto for inspiration for little ideas to freshen up and add new Art. We hoped it would be popular, but didn't realise it would be the most heavily booked property in Wye River from the time it opened till the current day.
What makes this Studio unique
Apart from the unique Japanese influenced design, we have a steam shower to pamper yourself and a spa to immerse yourself in, while overlooking the ocean. After the pampering, you can sink into the feather cushion couch in front of the wood fire and watch some movies. Some guests prefer a Zen experience, just sitting on the day bed overlooking the sea and become at one with nature. Or to read a book to the background sound of the sea. Another delight is to wake up in the comfy bed and look out to the view of the sea. A place for couples to take time just for themselves.
