Wonderful place to stay.
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).

Very nice self-service apartment
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.

Lovely location, high up so a nice view down to the bay. Steep, steep drive up to the property and parking was a bit tight. Small work surface area in the kitchen part but we coped. Enormous spa bath, more like a swimming pool. Very comfortable bed

Paihia stay
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.

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 were in the Pacifica apartment and it lived up to expectations. The decor was a cut above the norm, with such detail taken to enhance the 'pacific' theme. Everything was so clean, the tiled bathroom was beautiful, with a huge walk in shower area and a two person spa bath. The full kitchen (not a kitchenette) was so well appointed. Granite surfaces etc. The lounge and dining areas, both cozy and high spec, looked out onto the bush, with the sea view to the side. Lots of bird song. The road winds up behind the town area, and while it is steep we had no problem walking back up .... and we are not young. If you don't think you could make it --- drive. The hosts were very nice, helpful, and offered advice about local places to eat. We liked the fact it was aimed at couples, with under 14's no allowed. So no screaming kids, very peaceful. The car park for this apartment is not under cover, but if that is an issue for unloading or loading bags etc, park next to the entrance door which is under cover, then park your vehicle. It isn't rocket science. This is one of the best places we have stayed at, and we have done a lot of travel. I am not sure why this lovely place received some bad press in some other reviews.

My husband and I stayed at Sanctuary Palms for 2 nights at the very end of a 3-week trip traveling around the South and North Islands. I had been there in 1986 and wanted to share many of my experiences with my husband (who was my boyfriend back then). Paihia and the Bay of Islands were definately on our must see list. We booked the Moulin Rouge apartment and it was wonderful! Perched high above the the town, it offered breathtaking sunrises each morning and the sights and sounds of the town and water activity below in the evenings as the sun set. We highly recommend Sanctuary Palms for anyone looking for private luxury and outstanding amenities. There are so many activities available to tourists here. One stands alone, however - sailing on the R. Tucker Thompson. We spent 5 and a half hours on this working tall sailing ship. It was definately one of the most enjoyably, relaxing days during our time in New Zealand.
