Very well designed, very clean, and well equipped. Bathroom and shower were very nice and spacious. Bed was very soft and comfy. I would not hesitate to return and highly recommend it to anyone. And very close in proximity to the town. One downside were stairs upon entry.

Wonderful place to stay, with extra touches to make our stay special.
Accommodation was clean and comfortable with plenty of space, with a balcony offering beautiful views over Bay of Islands. Excellent location for getting to quay fir boat and ferry trips and within walking distance of Waitangi Treaty Grounds. (Although the steep walk back up hill after a day out is quite tough...but view was worth it).

We stayed in the "Moulin Rouge" apartment, which was a very well appointed self-service unit with a wonderful view to the Bay of Islands at Pahia.

The entire property was covered in scaffolding. It looked like a construction site. Views out of windows and deck were obstructed by the scaffolding.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sanctuary Palms everything is set up to allow for a relaxing stay. The photos really don’t do it justice it is a beautiful home from home.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.
We were a little worried about negative reviews about the parking situation and yes, it is tight but it’s only a short walk to find plenty of free on street parking which we favoured so that our large rental car didn’t cause any bother to other guests. Thank you to Sharron & Paul for sharing this beautiful place with us.

Central location although a difficult walk up a steep hill. The overall amenities were good. The air conditioner in the bedroom didn’t work and footsteps from the apartment above were noisy. THe curtains in the bedroom didn’t fit and looked like they were second hand. The car parks were very tight.

The view from the balcony was amazing. Thank you for the little extras in the bathroom and we loved the pod coffee machine.
Comfy couch and easy access to wifi.
We got the hang of airing the rooms, tricky in the wind.
Thank you.
