Sunset Sanctuary, Rocky Bay

Reviews

We stayed here over a long weekend and it was absolutely stunning! You truly feel like you are in paradise – with breathtaking panoramic views over the ocean and only a two minute walk to the beach. The house itself is beautiful and stylish with a gorgeous open plan living area, wrap around deck, and beautiful bedrooms overlooking the water. We also loved the spa in the evenings! I will absolutely be back again – we loved every minute.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property, the open plan nature of the kitchen/living flowing out to the decking made sure that even with a larger group there was plenty of space. The abundant views are undeniably stunning – even from the spa! We would stay here again and highly recommend.

Such a wonderful place to stay. We loved the stunning views from the expansive deck looking out all the way to Auckland while we soaked in the spa pool. A short stroll down to the beach for a dip and a stop at the cute little local cafe on the way back up. The beds were so comfy and the bird song made us feel like we were truly on holiday. Thank you, we will definitely be back!

We had a lovely stay. The view is absolutely stunning and it is great being so close to The Ostend shops. The big open plan kitchen is fantastic. The deck and the spa is such a plus. Gorgeous house, I can’t wait to come back!

We stayed at Sunset Sanctuary on Waiheke and absolutely loved the house! So bright and clean when we arrived. The large deck was great to hang out on, loved having spas in the evening. Each room had fans which was really nice on those hotter still evenings sleeping. The kitchen had everything we needed, the open plan ease really suited our family. We would love to stay again!

This property is just absolutely beautiful. The view is stunning and the place is so modern and new. Can't wait to stay again! Dealing with Waiheke Escapes was a pleasure and so easy.

Great property, amazing views, very nicely renovated. Seamless experience from arrival to departure. Great experience with Waiheke Escapes.

Very quiet, fantastic views, modern makeover. Comfortable beds and very clean.

Fantastic property, location was great and views were unreal! Can't wait to come back and stay again. Waiheke Escapes were great to work with, always got back to me quickly and were very friendly and helpful.

Gorgeous property will be back thank you for having us. Great property and great service.

Really clean and nicely decorated. Really nice kitchen and living area. Good hot tub. Would stay again.

Our family loved staying here, it had a wonderful view, spa the fireplace were great and much more. Lots of nice walking places and the beaches were so nice.

We absolutely loved our stay. The house had a warm, cozy feeling to it and was very accommodating. It was the perfect place for a family getaway and kid friendly. The host was very responsive and was flexible with check in times. Topped up with great amenities like a spa with a stunning view of the island. Hope to return again soon.

"The Sanctuary is amazing !"

Beautiful home, warm, great views, comfortable beds - loved it!

The booking experience was seamless with Waiheke Escapes they were prompt and concise in their communication. The property far exceeded our expectations, the wrap around deck is an underrated feature of the house. Above all it was clean and tidy, and provided all the facilities & amenities we needed. Highly recommend this property and look forward to booking in the near future.

Absolutely loved our stay, so beautiful. Loved the spa.

Amazing stay, perfect view, comfortable, homely. Lots of beds. Very very impressed. So thank you :)

Spacious, private and relaxing

Stunning views in a stunning location. It was a nice escape from the mainland and an easy set up perfect for a base to see the wineries of the island. Definitely bring your swimmers for the spa pool!

“Amazing place with an outstanding view! Loved our stay!”

Thank you for opening your home to us. We enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave! Thank you for coming round and introducing yourselves and giving us tips for our stay on Waiheke!”

Beautiful spot - would recommend

We loved our week here - two families of four and we were all very comfortable. The house is clean, modern and well equipped. The views back to the city are spectacular and the large balcony around three sides of the house provides great indoor/outdoor options all day and into the evening. We would return.

Spectacular views, clean and comfortable!

In our group 4 couples stayed at the Sunset Sanctuary. The property was spacious and had everything we were looking for. Quality bedding/towels, comfortable beds, plus all the amenities you could want. The appliances were all top of the range, easy to use and worked perfectly. The hot tub was fantastic with a view to die for. We loved the fans in the bedrooms, the bean bags and the eco friendly products around the house! Our stay felt very luxurious all round, thanks for an awesome time!

“Perfect place for a weekend away with a group of friends. Mel from Waiheke Escapes was quick to reply to messages and very helpful. Would highly recommend”

Great location and outlook. Clean and tidy with a very responsive host.

Great place in a wonderful location. Relaxed and easy. Everything was there that we required for our stay. Fly screens the only thing missing with mosquitos in swarms at night. It meant keeping everything shut after dark. However, small issue overall during a beautiful stay.

“A wonderful home in a beautiful location. Attentive and responsive host.”

Amazing place to stay great views, thoroughly exceeded expectations, spa pool was a bonus!

We had a great experience staying in this wonderful house. It is lovely, clean, spacious, easy and quick access, quiet, fast wifi, the view is amazing, the spa is perfect. The manager responded fast with little issues. Overall, we will never forget the time we spent here and we will definitely coming back. We’ll absolutely recommend this to our friends and family. thank you!

Easy to book, great communication from Property Manager,

Can not fault this immaculate property - relaxing decor, unbelievable views - we didn’t want to leave. Will definitely stay again - perfect sleeping arrangements and the most luxurious beds

“Great views. If you’re taking the public bus it gets pretty close but bit of a walk up the hill! Lovely styling, light at bright.”

We absolutely loved our stay here. The space was very stylish but homely and the location was ideal. Would highly recommend to anyone! Particularly families
