We stayed in the studio apartment. This was an amazing little get away. Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Great location to explore a lot of different local treasures. Very accommodating friendly hosts. Great way to relax for a few days. We will definitely be back very soon :-)
AustraliaThis is a gorgeous property with amazing grounds. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is it! We had the studio unit, which had a very well-equipped kitchenette with good quality pots and pans, dishes and utensils. Netflix on the huge TV was a real plus, too! Susie and Jonathan were wonderful hosts, always attentive to our needs but not pushy. The property is about 15 minutes out of Mullumbimby so not good for people who want to be in the midst of things but we found it convenient and were always happy to return to this tranquil oasis. We had the budget studio unit but if you want an amazing experience book one of their other units, which are much larger, have their owns pools and spas and enclosed gardens with beautiful statuary and water features.
United States of AmericaThe surrounds were beautiful and Susie was lovely and helpful as a host. The setting is peaceful and its beautiful to walk around the property and appreciate nature listening to the birds, smelling the fresh air and enjoying the beautiful garden.
AustraliaThis place is amazing, loved that we had our own private Sanctuary. We also loved walking through the acres of gardens. We had a cottage which had its own private pool with an amazing day bed, only downside was that it was to cold to swim. The hosts were great and met a our needs, the have 3 beautiful dogs which our girls loved playing with. Only 20min from Byron or any of the other little towns around there. Can highly recommend this place and we will be back.
AustraliaAlthough we weren’t initially aware of having booked the Bunk House (sleeps 4) we decided to accept the challenge to stay in the bunk as the mature couple we are :). We enjoyed the clean, comfortable and stylish setting, in a most beautiful and peaceful area. If you don’t mind sleeping under the ceiling this is quite special.
AustraliaAmazing property, couldn’t be better for a relaxing place, great owners, beautiful location and the accommodation itself was next level and very nice- couldn’t recommend higher- thanks Jonathan & Susie- you were both amazing :-) John & Catia
AustraliaThis place is awesome, if you are looking for an escape/retreat style break in beautiful and tranquil surroundings, this place is for you!! The hosts are lovely people and the accomodation was great. Will definitely stay here again.
AustraliaLoved the Sanctuary in the Pocket! It was peaceful, tranquil, private, quiet, and comfortable. It’s so nice not having to share the pool or spa with other guests and have your own facilities all to yourself.
AustraliaBeautiful and relaxing place in a roustique Bali style. Great getaway to hang out for a couple of days. Close to nice beaches and cosy villages in the hinterland. A really comfortable stay away from busy city life. Staying at the retreat is an experience in itself, not just a place to sleep.
SwedenThe Tinyhaus offers everything you need and is lovingly designed. The hosts are warm and open.

Sanctuary in The Pocket is a beautiful property situated on 5 acres in the Byron Bay Hinterland, 10 minutes north of Mullumbimby and 10 minutes west of Brunswick Heads and the amazing beaches of Byron Shire. The Gardens were lovingly created 25 years ago by a horticulturist and consists of open lawns, established exotic gardens and pockets of rainforest, with beautiful natural creek, spring fed from the Hills behind. We purchased the property in 2013, with the intention of creating a beautiful space for guests to enjoy the peacefulness of the property and allow them to relax in the stunning surroundings of the magnificent gardens. Two years were spent reinvigorating the gardens and renovating the buildings, keeping many of the original features, but also modernising, introducing new styles and finishing them to the highest level of quality. It is the ideal space to use as place to just be, or as a springboard for all that Byronshire is famous for. We provide accommodation for up to 12 people, and thus is beautifully positioned to hold Weddings and family events.
People, Music and food are three of my favourate things, Within Sanctuary in the Pocket, my aim is to bring all of those together, to enable people to enjoy the natural things in life
The Pocket is a tranquil valley, with gorgeous open fields, with predominantly cattle and horses. It is quiet and peaceful, but just 10 minutes from the local townships of Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads. The neighbourhood predominantly provides fresh produce to many of the local farmers markets and restaurants and is an abundant environment
