“Lovely quiet spot. Cabin located behind the house away from the road. The bathroom is separate so you need shoes to pop across the path. Very comfortable bed. Slept brilliantly. Remember to put the blinds down as the sun streams in the morning....”

The Sanctuary is a place of peaceful tranquility. Wake up to uninterrupted views of Tongariro National Park in this brand new, stylish self-contained studio. Just 200 metres from the start of the brand new Te Aro Mangawhero, Sue's Sanctuary is the ideal base for mountain biking, skiing and bushwalking. It is also the perfect place for a romantic getaway. Or, if you feel like simply getting away from your busy life, it is the perfect place to nurture and recharge in restful elegance.
