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!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Galea

Host profile image
London Born, I've lived in Middle East & Africa before moving to Australia as a teenager. My husband Mike is also from the UK but more of a country mouse than me with green fingers that supply me with an abundance of fresh produce to play with. We have been married for almost 25 years and both have a love of nature, a strong sense of adventure and approach life with a sense of play and curiosity. I currently consult as a creative alchemist working from an intersection of design and behavioural science to active positive change for business ecosystems,

Our children have left the nest and we are now excited to move forward into the next phase of our journey and create a space in the Byron Hinterland that activates your senses and is full of both creativity and love.

Curiosity Essential, Lisa

Why they chose this property

The whole area is beautiful, however, we found that this valley, The Pocket offered the best of both worlds. Easy access to a buzzing lifestyle with great shops, art, beaches & access to airports plus our own tropical private oasis lifestyle.
It is beautifully peaceful, in a lovely rural valley with cattle and horses, but is very close to the beautiful Ocean beaches of New Brighton and South Golden (10 Minutes) and the lovely townships of Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads (10 Minutes). Byron Bay is only 20 minutes away and the Gold Coast airport is 25 minutes away.
Wonderfully centrally located, whilst also being incredibly quiet and peaceful.

What makes this property unique

We both fell in love with this property from the moment we came through the front gates, feeling welcome as we opened Bali Doors and explored hand made Bali style villas that had been built with love and care so many thoughtful touches had gone into their design. The gardens won us over as we could feel nature was recharging us from our first visit. 5 acres of beautifully mature rainforest garden, with an amazing variety of huge trees, fresh fruit and exotic plants. To cap it all off there is a beautiful creek that runs through one side of the property. Sitting quietly in the garden is an absolute pleasure, listening to the sounds of the water flowing and birds singing.
