Serene and beautiful getaway
My partner and I stayed here for a few nights after our wedding, and it was the perfect little getaway tucked away in the serene nature in the Pocket. It really was like a little Sanctuary. Beautiful four poster bed and bath! It has everything you need to relax and make yourself at home. The pool and the cabana is gorgeous and would be great to cool off in summer. Love this place and would highly recommend!

Most beautiful and peaceful stay!
Jonathan & Susie
It is so upsetting that we had to leave this early due to the drive back home. We have left this beautiful place filled with amazing memories all thanks to you beautiful people! Unfortunately due to COVID we were restricted on going to Bali with a private pool for our honeymoon. When I came across this place it was a straight book in and let me tell you no regrets whatsoever. My husband and I were extremely happy with the place as it was not only peaceful and quiet but as well as your service! You both managed to keep us updated and would tell us when tasks were getting done
Thank you so much once again and surely surely you will see us again! All the best for your future! Hopefully many more happy days to come for the both of you! 😊

Relaxing Family time in The Pocket
Our kids loved being so close to nature, loved the pool and they loved the wonderful garden. They cannot wait to go back. There are loads of lovely touches at the house, the cabana by the pool allows you to relax while watching the kids. The gardens are stunning and you get to enjoy the wonderful sounds of birds and beautiful trees. It is a short drive to an excellent surf beach. It is very quiet in the evenings. There are great food options in Brunswick and Mullumbimby (Milk and Honey was as good a pizza as we have tried and Baker and Daughter is a superb bakery). Punch and Daisy has great coffee. The house comes with aircon which was needed in Jan.

Beautiful Property
My wife and I enjoyed a short stay at the property with our two children. The property was spotlessly clean and had everything we required to have a relaxing stay.
We would definitely recommend this property to anyone who wanted a break away from the stresses of everyday life.

Very clean airy house
Very pretty little house in beautiful setting.
Every room has doors so you can have the being inside/outside feeling. Nicely decorated and wooden floors.
No need to go explore the surrounding area if you don’t feel like it, you won’t feel like missing out if you laze by the pool the whole day.
I highly recommend this very beautiful haven in the hinterlands of Byron Bay.

Exceeded all of our expectation is completely
This property was more then we could’ve wished for. Susie was absolutely fantastic and greeted us warmly on arrival. We had the rest of our visit completely to ourselves. The house is beautifully furnished with Balinese pieces. The gardens, tranquillity, tropical plants etc made us feel like we were in Indonesia! The pool was just perfect especially having the lovely Kabana so close. We enjoyed a barbecue one night, and all cooking utensils, kitchen equipment were all we needed. We absolutely loved this accommodation and will definitely refer all our friends! Hope to come back soon.

Perfect!
We only stayed a total of three nights, which definitely was not enough. You could stay within those magical grounds forever. With Balinese touches in every direction you are truly transported to a resort lifestyle. We greatly appreciated the warm, friendly nature of Suzie, Johnny, jaky and Bella. We cannot wait to come and lounge in the bungalow under more sunny conditions.
- The cleanliness was incredible, everything was in new condition.
- The canopy bed was incrediblly romantic and comfortable.
- At about 20 or so minutes out of Byron Bay itself, amongst the farmlands and trees we found ourselves to be souly emersed in the tranquillity of the area and we're able to escape the Hustle and bustle of the town centre after a day of adventure.
- The quality was incredible, we have stayed at alot of holiday homes and never felt so welcomed and relaxed.
We all (mum, dad, daughter and son) highly recommend to anyone of any age.

A true Sanctuary
We came to Sanctuary in the Pocket for our honeymoon and it ticked all the boxes - privacy, peacefulness, beautiful surrounds and lovely hosts. Highlights were morning and evening walks around the property, our picnic on the grass, the magnificent tree and cosy nights in by the fire, cooking meals. We thought we'd go out for dinner a lot but loved it there so much we stayed in and cooked. Jonathan and Susy were absolutely lovely - friendly and warm and respectful of privacy. We look forward to returning in Summer time!

What a delight!
A great experience in peaceful surroundings made all the better by our lovely and helpful hosts. Staying at The Retreat was a perfect way to spend a few relaxing days - all the necessary comforts at hand, the rooms tastefully and lovingly furnished and our very own pool the cherry on top even if the recent rain had made the water a little chilly! Recommend to to anyone looking for a quiet escape from the problems of the world.

Absolutely Fabulous Retreat
My best friend and I had a wonderful time over the weekend staying at the Sanctuary in The Pocket. So relaxing, just an amazing setting. I will be back to visit this beautiful gem with my fiance so I can enjoy this quite peaceful relaxing special little hide away. It was so close to the other great little villages in the area we enjoyed exploring and having amazing food all weekend with the Sanctuary in The Pocket being our hub. We will definitely be back.

A Perfect Place For Our Wedding!
Four days of luxurious bliss, bathing and soaking in the beautiful sunshine and pool, we couldn't have chosen a better place for our wedding. Jonathan and Susie have created an idyllic get-away, set in the most beautifully landscaped gardens one could imagine. The Retreat is a charming mix of Balinese and country Australian decor. We found its facilities met our every need and comfort. Couldn't have made us feel more welcome, from the bottle of bubbly in the fridge, through to the welcome gift of first season honey from their hives, to Jonathan's excellent photography that will provide us with lasting memories of this special time. We couldn't recommend it highly enough - we'll be back! Steve Bignell and Antoinette Richter

Beautiful property
We had an amazing Christmas break at the Sanctuary, our accommodation was the retreat which is absolutely stunning. The gardens are beautifully manicured and the pool is perfect as there is plenty of both sun and shade as you wish. Jonathan and Susie are incredibly kind, generous and sociable hosts with whom we clicked instantly. Our one and only regret was that we didn't book it for the new year period too. All four of us can't wait to return!!

Create precious family memories
What a lovely surprise! Bali in the Bush! A wonderful escape from the busy city for the parents and a special place to explore and play for our small children. Such a gorgeous home away from home, truly a labour of love. 5-star facilities, amazing pool and gazebo, super clean and tidy, wifi, Apple TV/Netflix. Easy 15 min drive to Mullimbimby and Brunswick Heads (no crowds!) and 20 mins from beautiful (but busy) Byron Bay. We will be back next year!! BIG THANKS to the lovely hosts Jonathan and Susie who made our stay extra special! ?.

Paradise!
My husband, our two children and I stayed in The Retreat @ Sanctuary in the Pocket over new years, I cannot really find the words to express just how fabulous our stay was!
The accommodation was beautiful but at the same time functional, and suited our family perfectly. Jonathan was a fabulous host and made sure we were well looked after throughout our stay, and finally the property was beautifully maintained and such gorgeous surroundings for a relaxing quiet holiday.
The property is located in an area, that makes you feel that you are a million miles away from civilisation, but the local General Store, Chemist, and other essential shops/services are only a few minutes drive away. If you're interested in seeing the local Attractions, everything is within a 1/2 hour drive, or if you want to nip up to the GC it will only take you around 50mins!
Highly recommend you visit this beautiful accommodation and property! Dont hesitate, it was literally our best every NYE accommodation ever.

Exceeded my very high expectations!
My husband and I had our second honeymooon at Sanctuary in the Pocket - which is every bit as stunning in real life as it is in the photos. Jonathan and Susie were super helpful and welcoming and have created an environment where beauty, tranquility and romance are everywhere you look. It was as close to perfect as you can get. Plus we loved the surrounding area and can't wait to come back. Thanks J and S for a totally replenishing and memorable stay.
