⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolutely unforgettable experience! What an amazing place! The campsite was fantastic, surrounded by beautiful animals and nature. But what truly made our stay special were the owners. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful, making us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was when they kindly took us to a breathtaking viewpoint to watch the sunset. It was such a magical moment and something we will remember forever. Truly priceless! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much for your incredible hospitality and wonderful memories. We highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for something truly special!

Really lovely spot to stay, very friendly hosts and lots of lovely animals dotted around! Can give Matt a text with an eta (as we were arriving later on), and flexible check out too. Would really recommend!

This was one of the best places we stayed. Matt was so welcoming and so helpful. He built a fire for us and had the hot tub going as it is winter. Made us feel so comfortable and he even let us feed the animals even though it was past feeding time for them, wish we could have stayed longer. Such an amazing group of people and animals. Wouldn’t have wanted to stay anywhere else. 10/10 would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a quiet, safe space to stay.

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.
