The Sanctuary Healing Retreat

Such a beautiful stay. You can really tell how much thought and effort has gone into creating a relaxing getaway, especially considering it’s located in a reasonably busy area. Tucked away amongst beautiful greenery, it genuinely felt peaceful — you could barely tell you were surrounded by the hustle and bustle of Melbourne. Although the space is intended for two people, I spent the first night alone to fully unwind, and it was the perfect place to do so. The outdoor bath was incredible and something I wish I had taken even more advantage of at night, as you could see the stars so clearly. The sauna was amazing, with everything you needed readily available, and Michele kindly came over to show us how everything worked. One thoughtful touch I really appreciated were the switches to turn off power sources, making sleep feel even more restful. The bedroom itself was beautiful, and waking up to the greenery outside with the resort-like atmosphere shining through the windows was probably my favourite part. Everything you needed was in one spot. I ordered takeaway on the first night, but the next day we cooked amazing burgers and even made a cake — it truly felt like the perfect little escape. Everything else that went wrong outside of the resort during my birthday weekend actually made this stay feel even more relaxing and needed. From arrival to departure, everything was smooth and stress-free, with no issues at all. I would absolutely recommend this place for a romantic getaway or even just some solo time to reset and unwind.

What a lovely place to stay - we really enjoyed our time there. The accommodation was lovely and clean, compact, comfortable, quiet, private and restful and the owner was easily contactable if we needed anything. Sitting in the patio / deck area was an absolute treat! It was amazingly restorative at the end of the day, what with the garden area and the sound of the water feature - so relaxing. The herbs were great for use at mealtimes too. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to use the sauna but it looked really inviting. I’d certainly be happy to stay there again (now that we have a myki card and more of a handle on the transport for the area!)

I did miss having a microwave oven but it’s not a deal breaker.

While working having my own garden space - sauna and outdoor bath was incredible it felt like coming home to a spa !

It’s a little bit of a walk to things and probably in future I would hire a car .

Immaculate place with high end finishes. Michelle was lovely and i really enjoyed my stay.
