Our Guest Feedback

  • “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!”

    Penny from Canberra, ACT

  • “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!"
