Our Guest Feedback

  • What a wonderful venue, and still a secret! We held an event last Monday which turned out a little larger than expected, but as Lauren had allowed us to use all the spaces it went perfectly. The venue is so refreshingly bright and the kitchen area is handy and well equipped. Our younger guests were delighted to see the peacocks!! Thank you Lauren for your generosity in a difficult time.

  • “It was absolutely amazing thank you so much for your support and assistance with making the day perfect! Everything was amazing and I absolutely loved the Peacock chair (was comfy for my big belly) so thank you so much I really appreciate how amazing you have been!”

  • “Gorgeous, light filled, and well equipped venue. We hosted our event here and couldn’t have had a better experience. Communication was prompt and clear.”

    Louise from Canberra, ACT

  • "Perfect space for a special and intimate gathering with friends and family, but large enough to cater for a large group/crowd of people and is ideal for children to move around. Our venue host Lauren was exceptional in her customer service and communication. Sanctuary is definitely a hidden gem but won't stay a secret for long!"
