The Sanctuary - Breathing Room for your Soul

Luxury modern studio with private spa pool set peacefully above the Motueka River.
Situated in our 55 acre farm, with trout fishing and a swimming hole at the foot of the drive and bush walks up to the top of the hill, the Sanctuary is a place to relax, unwind and switch off to the sound of the river, native birds and very little else.
Guests report "this stay has been the most relaxing, memorable and tasty of the trip".

Indawo
The Sanctuary is a modern studio with private spa pool on the deck overlooking the valley and the river, an enclosed garden suitable for a small dog, and luxury furniture and fittings - "everything you could ask for" according to guests.
We feature local artwork and our own photographs around the space, with everything designed for a couple to have a relaxing break away from it all.
Situated up a long private drive through paddocks of sheep, past the olive grove and fruit orchard, the Sanctuary commands a view northwards up the valley.
Designed for two, we can cater for infants in a cot on request (no extra charge). Everything here is provided for your stay - luxury linen and towels, bath robes for the spa, eco-friendly toiletries etc., along with free range eggs from the farm, homemade preserves, muesli and bread and fresh milk.

Ukungena kondwendwe
The spa pool is completely private for guests (off-peak season please provide at least 48 hours notice for the spa to be up to temperature). The farm is open for guests to walk through, with a short bush walk up the hill and longer walks along the river or through the forestry tracks.
We make our own olive oil, jams, and chutneys which we are happy to share with guests, (and you can buy some to take away). Seasonal fruit is available for you to pick from the orchard.
We have two giant dogs, "Toffee" a Leonberger and "Archie" a Bernese Mountain Dog, as well as a small flock of rare breed Arapawa, Karakul and breed-up program of Valais Black-nose sheep, Llamas, free range chickens, Guinea Fowl and Pekin ducks as well as other animals on the land. We encourage guests to wander over the farm and meet the animals - those tame enough to say hello! There might be some restrictions during lambing or at other times of the year but we keep these to a minimum wherever possible.
