The property was not clean. Numerous cockroaches throughout our stay.4 coffee capsules for 3 people staying 3 nights was inadequate. Given we were a little way from shops I would have expected some milk on arrival.Mosquitos meant we couldn’t use the hot tub. No coils obvious

Absolutely amazing!!

This slice of heaven on earth is absolutely breath-taking! Jonathan and Susie pay great attention to care and detail and have created a beautiful private oasis. I stayed here for part of my honeymoon and it was absolutely magical. From check in to check out everything was very easy and convenient. The place is very clean and spotless and contains every amenity you could possibly need. It is only 25 minutes away from Byron Bay although we didn't really leave the accommodation as it had a pool and jacuzzi. I 100% recommend this stay and will definitely be coming back!

Peaceful getaway

The Sanctuary is such an amazing place for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We had the most relaxing time away. The tranquil surroundings, the peace and quiet, spa, pool, night lighting and that kitchen! Susie and Jonathan we’re wonderful hosts, the dogs such an added bonus. Would highly recommend!

Lovely ‘Babymoon’ Getaway

Me and my partner had a wonderful time relaxing and making good use of the facilities at this property. The plunge pool, spa and gardens were amazing. Short enough distance for a day trip to Byron too which was nice. Overall loved the property, thank you!
