Guest Reviews

• Jeanette (9/5): -
• Gary (10/5): Janelle made us feel welcome and presented a clean classy facility - The venue and property is nice and classy Nil
• Frederika (10/5): -
• Drew (10/5): -
• Cindy (10/5): Totally endulged to have had the privilege to have stayed at the sanctuary. - Absolutely stunning property from the moment you drive up the entrance. Everything was exceptionally clean. The host provided little extras like different body wash for men and women. It was a real treat to stay there. Everything was top quality. Loved the location, and also getting to have chickens and the goat on the property. Staying at the sanctuary was the highlight of our trip. The only thing I would say, is it gets cold when every window doesn’t have drapes, but the air conditioning works well. Just be more efficient to have drapes. We felt totally spoilt to stay at such a beautiful property. Loved everything
• Sarah (9/5): -
• Derek (9/5): Coming back - This recent stay was way better than a Motel, where I would often stay in Tauranga. Modern, bright and well appointed. Great comms with the host. Will be booking more stays.
• Joseph (10/5): Wish I could’ve stayed longer! - Everything! The level of comfort was beyond my expectations. I loved that i could arrive when ready, and settled in with ease. Nil

• Zakareya Omar (10/5): - My stay at the villa was absolute bliss, the whole place was utterly stunning and our host was incredibly welcoming to me and my wife . We loved the serene peace and quiet, it was like a total escape from the chaos of everyday life, and the cherry on top was the breathtaking tennis court right next to the house - felt like we had our own little slice of paradise! The gardens were also truly magnificent, full of lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and we even spotted some gorgeous animals grazing in the paddocks right behind the fence, the stunning swimming pool is located at the back, overlooking the host's equally beautiful house, which added to the overall sense of luxury and tranquility . it was the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun. The whole experience was just incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating, we felt so lucky to have had the chance to stay there. We loved everything about the villa, and leaving it was bittersweet we were so sad heading back to Auckland, almost like we wanted to turn around and go back, but we had to head back to Auckland because we’ve got a bunch of stuff lined up for tomorrow
• Klaudia (10/5): - Ubytovanie bolo situované v krásnej oblasti, bolo luxusne zariadené, čisté, maximálne komfortne, majitelia boli nesmierne ústretoví a nápomocní, 11/10
• Denis (9/5): - Location and atmosphere was very restful and quiet. Perfect for what we required. A welcoming basket of special treats would have been lovely !
• Richard (10/5): Excellent hosts - Neat and well equipped Nothing
• Charlotte (10/5): Fantastic little find - Incredible place with wonderful hosts - 100% recommend Nothing - we didn’t want to leave!
• Steve (9/5): Peaceful and clean luxury villa set in stunning grounds - Luxury style and comfort. Super clean. Private and peaceful. Beautiful established gardens. And a pool!
• Katrina (10/5): -
• Sarah (10/5): - A home away from home, very clean and beautifully presented. It had everything we needed, private but yet close to town. There was nothing we didn't like
• Brooke (10/5): -
• Emily (10/5): Amazing, idyllic, relaxing! - This place is idyllic! We didn’t want to leave! So quiet, the owners are easily reachable but leave you to it during your stay. We loved the location! The owners dog also popped over a few times to say hello to us. Unfortunately it was quite stormy over our stay so we didn’t make much use of the pool, however we did get out on the tennis court! Spent most of our time relaxing, reading and just enjoying a restful stay! The guest house is very well equipped, the only thing I’d add is a washing machine so if you’re staying longer you have washing facilities, but there is a utility sink in the bathroom so you could hand wash if you needed. We’d love to stay again! Nothing
• Jeswin (10/5): - The pool is completely off the villa like atleast 100m off and it’s in between the hosts private property so wasn’t comfortable accessing it.
• James (10/5): Amazing and serene location. Stay longer if you can! - Everything, very secluded location, clean and modern! The bed was super comfy, the house was spacious and clean. I regret not booking more than a night. They also have an adorable doggie that hangs around the property, she’s extremely friendly too! Not to mention a tennis court and pool all to yourself! Surrounded by veggies to pick, flowers and animals around the home, what’s not to love. Nothing, everything was exceptional!
• Rhiannen (10/5): Beautiful, secluded and luxurious - Amazing secluded space. The Villa felt very luxurious and we were surrounded by beautiful gardens and animals. Very comfortable bed and loved the full kitchen that we had to cook etc. Nothing!
• Eleazar (10/5): This property really did feel like a sanctuary. It was a shame we were there for an event so didn’t get to enjoy it to t - The property was absolutely stunning. High ceilings made the space feel extra spacious. Plenty of room to relax and unwind in your own separate spaces. Loved that there was a tennis court and rackets which we put to use. The goats and chickens gave gave it an extra touch of country which added to the peaceful feel. I did notice the outside bar near kitchen window was a bit dusty and had a few cobwebs around the window but we didn’t have a need to use this so was no issue at all for us.
• Bernadette (10/5): - Beautiful place clean private & a cute 🐕 Nothing
• Andrea (10/5): Relaxing revitalising and refreshing - Absolutely amazing property. Amenities are fabulous the kitchen is amazing well thought out it’s quite comfortable and the visits from Merlin & Lily were amazing. I felt totally relaxed staying there had the best sleeps. Managed by a fantastic owner who is caring (but leaves you alone) and would stay there again in a heartbeat. Absolutely nothing ! I could live there
• Oceann (10/5): -
• Chris (9/5): - A lovely place to stay in private grounds and so quiet, must be fantastic in the summer. With two lovely dogs, Marlin and lily ❤️ who came to say hello every morning ❤️❤️ Didn't really find anything I didn't like Taking into account the time of the year we were there
• Pam (10/5): Best ever stay - The villa was absolutely lovely, it was warm when we arrived later in the day and had all the amenities anybody would require during their stay. The different animals in nearby paddocks were a delight, and the Californian quail was a bonus to see the next morning. So close to the city, but it felt like you were miles away from bustling Tauranga. Host (Janelle) was very helpful with any queries I had, which was much appreciated. The photo of the house and pool on the website was a bit confusing, as I hadn't viewed all the photos upon making the booking (missed the photo of the villa) and I thought when we arrived that we'd gone to the wrong section.
• zhuo (10/5): -

Goats were friendly and got a visit from their dog Merlin!! Unfortunately rain prevented us from using tennis court and pool.
• Sheryl (9/5): Private Villa - Private detached Villa, own private parking and very comfortable.. beautiful layout. Animals are charming and hospitable. Close to all amenities and the beach. Ideal if you want some me time. Tennis court outside your door alot of fun. a smooth check in. Villa is open on arrival for you, which I think is fantastic. Only one negative' be nice to have a soaking tub either inside or outside would have been a 10.

• Charmaine (8/5): Very good - Loved the accomodation. Was a bit disappointed that we had to share the pool facilities with the owners. Especially as it wasn’t mentioned on the website booking. Was looking forward to a swim but husband wasn’t to keen as it was on the owners back yard. Otherwise loved staying there. Was also a bit far out from town.
• Tramon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ian (10/5): Our best stay so far during our holiday in New Zealand. - A beautiful and spacious garden house with every modern convenience, kitted out to five star level and located in a big estate and a great environment. A welcoming host and a convenient out of town location to visit Tauranga or Rotorua. Good value for money.

It was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be back soon! Nothing

Amazing surroundings, nature, farm, sheep and goats, we also meet a cat when she join us playing tennis. Very peaceful and calming. Wish we could stay longer.
• Hemang (9/5): Superb - Location Everything was fine
• 한별유 (10/5): Exceptional - It was such a quiet and peaceful place to rest. Small farms for free veges, nice pool and spas and sheep and chickens are in the backyard, we kept a great memory in this place. The owner was so kind and made us feel like it was home.
• Paul (10/5): I’ve used booking ,com all over the world and this was up there with the best - NA. We didn’t have breakfastNA Nothing at all
• Faith (10/5): Beautiful, warm, cosy, special. Excellent! - All. Especially the views and location. Felt too shy going to the pool with the house next to it.
• Sara (9/5): Overall the Villa it self was phenomenal <3 - Everything was excellent. The villa was beautiful; the host had everything you could ever ask for in this villa, and being next to beautiful farm animals (Goats and chickens) made it that much more beautiful. On top of the animals, shout out to our new dog friends Merlin and Lilly, who are such beautiful animals who will visit you and keep you company throughout your stay. Thank you to the host for this beautiful villa. To be honest, the main reason I booked this villa was because the pool looked amazing in the photos, and its aesthetic really drew me in. I was a bit disappointed to find out that the pool wasn't part of the villa itself but was actually located at the owner's house nearby, making it a shared pool area. While that’s totally fine, as introverts, we felt a bit shy about using the pool since it was at the owner's place. In the end, we didn’t get to use it as much as I had hoped, which was a shame since the pool was the main reason I booked the villa in the first place.
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional -
