Dette var et af de bedste steder, vi opholdt sig. Matt var så imødekommende og så hjælpsomme. Han byggede en ild for os og havde hot tuben gå som det er vinter. Made os føle sig så behageligt og han endda lade os fodre dyrene selv om det var forbi fodring tid for dem, ønske vi kunne have boet længere. Sådan en fantastisk gruppe af mennesker og dyr. ville ikke have ønsket at bo andre steder. 10/10 ville stærkt anbefale for alle, der er på udkig efter en stille, sikker plads at bo.

If you have ever wanted to experience the true kiwi homestead lifestyle, then relaxing at Matt & Kim's "Sanctuary Farm" will definately fulfil all your expectations. The drive up there is fantastic! As soon as you arrive and drive up the path to the camping spots, the friendly farm animals will pay you a warm and curious welcome. Matt and Kim are the most welcoming hosts I have ever met and they go out of their way to ensure their guests have a great time while you're there. Definately 10/10!!

Amazing slice of serene paradise! Chickens, goats, sheep, even the nosy friendly horse comes over to say hi. Matt is an awesome host, keen to share his knowledge and his Sanctuary with all travellers. Bring your bus, motorhome, tent or hire one of his hippy creations! The spa is waste oiled powered, again one of Matt's genius ideas. 100% we'll be back! Pet friendly but on leads due to the wandering 'stock'.

Amazing spot, everyone that has the chance, I would recommend you to go here. Unfortunately we could only stay one night because we had a ferry, but we wanted to stay longer! Really nice host and lots of animals that you can help feed every morning. Also good wifi and pools.

We had the best experience at Sanctuary Farm. Matt, Kim, and their family were incredibly kind and welcoming, and my husband and I spent our Christmas holiday there — originally planning four days and ending up staying a full week because we loved it so much. The property is beautiful, with adorable animals, a pool and spa, stunning mountain views, and unforgettable sunsets. The hosts are some of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet, and we’re so grateful we crossed paths with them.

The best Kiwi experience you’ll ever have! The owners, Matt and Kim, were absolutely amazing and made us feel so welcome. The property is stunning, with plenty of goats, sheep, and even a horse roaming around. There’s a spa and a pool to relax in, and the view from the hillside is nothing short of breathtaking. I can honestly say this was one of the best experiences we’ve had in New Zealand. If I could give it 20 out of 10 stars, I absolutely would!

A really good place to stay, peaceful and chill. Lovely couple that own this sanctuary and a lot of friendly animals. Don’t hesitate to stop there and I swear you will stay longer 😊

Wanderfool and quiet place , we planed to stay there one day and finually spent there three days! Matt and Kim are really kind people and close to nature and to their animals.

Vi boede på Sanctuary Farm i to nætter (vi planlagde at bo i en nat, men endte med at forlænge for to). Stedet er vidunderligt! Matt og Kim er så hyggelige og varme mennesker. De viste os rundt, hilste os velkommen til deres hus og bragte spil til vores lille. De har husdyr til kæledyr og nice trail at undre sig over. Stedet er så fredeligt - vi havde den bedste tid og stærkt anbefale at komme her. Sørg for at fylde din vandtank før du kommer, fordi du vil bo længere

We had a lovely time at Sanctuary farm. Hosts were super friendly, showed us around, introduced us to the animals. We went for a walk in their pastures on the surrounding hills, where their sheep, goats and horse graze. It was really nice to chat with Matt and Kim, hear their stories and discover New Zealand in a more personal way. If you’re looking for an authentic kiwi farm stay, this is the place!
