Such a unique and beautiful experience--don't miss it! We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful grounds and nearby beach, the amazing wildlife sitings (including a cassowary on the path to our cabin!), and the DELICIOUS meals in the magnificent dining room! Morning coffee is enjoyed on a balcony looking out over the treetops to the turquoise ocean below. Do come prepared for... more

The views from the terras of the restaurant are brillant: the ocean at one side and the rainforest and bananaplantages at the other. The ideal location for a romantic and zen retreat. more

My boyfriend and I spent two nights amongst the nature in early September this year. We stayed in one of the cabins and ate our meals in the long house. We were lucky enough to be visting on a new moon and watching the full moon rise from the deck was one of the most amazing sights I've experienced. Brilliant.... more

My fiance and I spent 6 nights in one of the open air cabins at the Sanctuary this month and they were 6 of the most fantastic nights of my life. Yes, there is a 600 meter walk up a fairly steep, but well maintained track from the car park to the lodge, but the walk is an attraction in... more

A wonderful rainforest location. Simple but adequate accomodation. A view to die for! However, our stay was almost ruined by idiots shouting, carrying on and playing loud music late at night. When you have only a mesh wall between you and the noise there is nothing you can do to block it out. Some people (maybe the manager?!) need to... more

We stayed at the Sanctuary for a night and I could gladly have stayed longer. After a hectic few days of travelling and activities it was a great place to chill out and relax for a while. Sleeping in the rainforest was an amazing experience. The reception/bar/restaurant area had stunning views over the rainforest and beach and we could even... more

We arrived into the car park of the Sanctuary and saw the sign saying 600m through rainforest to reception... we could have called for a lift from the 4x4 but we thought we'd go for it! never again with a back pack! it was so steep and humid but when we arrived in the longhouse sweaty with our backpacks it... more

Before we arrived at the Sanctuary, we were quite curious whether this rainforest eco-lodge would meet our standard. At the car park, there is only a small hut with a telephone to call the reception for pickup. A couple of minutes later, a friendly receptionist arrived in an all-terrain vehicle and took us to the main building. We were asked... more

This is definitely an unique experience. We stayed in a cabin. I usually stay at luxury hotels/ resorts and this was a nice experience. It is simple and minimalist. If you like nature, you will like this place. The food was decent and service was satisfactory. I particularly liked the shower overlooking the rain forest. We did have trouble with... more
