We arrived after a long drive to be welcomed by Glennis who showed us to our luxurious rooms with fantastic views. Minutes later we were relaxing in the small but perfectly formed infinity pool with a complimentary drink from the oft-replenished room fridges. Glennis and her husband Dave were perfect hosts, happy to provide information about the local area and even run us to the local town Paihia (about 5 mins drive away). Breakfast was good and extensive, beds comfortable and the setting and accommodation first rate. Do walk down to Opua Cruising Club, good cheap drinks and food on the quayside. Race nights are busy and the local welcoming.

The Host and Hostess were lovely people. The details.., Glenish thought of everything! One of the highlights of our trip! If I could give them 6 stars or 10… I would!

Not super close to shops but not that far either. Highly Recommend! One of the nicest B&B’s we’ve stayed at

I cannot explain how wonderful it was to enter this “home”. Glennis (the owner) was welcoming us and made a fantastic dinner - home cooked - and tasted like a real home cooked dinner. Rooms were very clean, super beds, bathroom with all you need and we both (mom and son - separate rooms) had rooms with a beautiful view over the hills and the bay. You do need a car to go almost anywhere, so that is recommended. We went fishing and came back with fresh fish which Glennis then cooked for us 2 days in a row. Wonder place, wonderful owner. Please just go there.

This is a welcoming and warm luxury experience. Glennis is a fantastic host who takes care of her guests with every comfort, wonderful breakfasts and dinners, and make you feel at home. India the cat is a cute little menace but we and she survived! This was a lovely start to our Bay of Islands holiday.

My husband and I spent three wonderful days with our hosts, Glennis and Dave at The Sanctuary. Everything was "as advertised" from the room itself to the glorious view. We were made to feel welcome from the beginning and we felt like part of the family. Breakfasts were shared with the other guests, which gave us an opportunity to share ideas about exploring the area (and Glennis had all kinds of wonderful suggestions). The highlight for us were two exceptional dinners that Glennis prepared for us. These were an added option, but worth every penny. If you let her know of any dietary requirements, she will adjust the meal according. Staying at The Sanctuary was a fabulous way to spend our anniversary.
