STUNNING BAY OF ISLANDS WITH BREATHTAKING SCENERY
And relax. The Sanctuary – as its name implies – is the perfect place to take a break from your holiday; surrounded by an untouched native rainforest and a beautiful coast.
New Zealand is almost as far away as you can possibly go from the UK. So, it’s natural that once you’ve travelled across the world, you want to see as much as possible. And both the North and South islands have lots to experience. Which is why you should put a visit to The Sanctuary on the itinerary of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to New Zealand.
The Sanctuary gives you the chance to relax, unwind and take stock of your surroundings – a private natural bush reserve that includes one of the last remaining untouched rainforests in the region. The Sanctuary also offers you the opportunity to explore the beautiful Bay of Islands with its outstanding scenery, sightseeing and numerous ways to enjoy the water and natural coastline.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
