THE SANCTUARY THE BAY OF ISLANDS, PAIHIA

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.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

“MONGOLIA STOLE MY HEART – A JOURNEY I’ll NEVER FORGET”
It was one of the best trips of my life. The itinerary you crafted for us was absolutely perfect; I wouldn’t have changed a thing. What made it even more special was the incredible team who looked after us. Edda was fantastic, and the two drivers we had for the Orkhon Valley and Gobi sections of the trip were possibly the best I’ve ever had.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”
Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. The Ultimate Travel Company were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.
