Magical Okupu Stay

Staying at Nikki’s Rose Cottage in Okupu was an absolute treat. The cottage was the perfect restful holiday pad for our family of 6. We loved Nikki’s gardens and exploring the beautiful stream flowing through the property. Okupu was a great location for us - easy drive to Claris, Medlands and hot springs. Kitchen was well equipped and lovely large outdoor dining area for family dinners. Nikki is so lovely and accommodating. Thank you Nikki for having us. Tanja and Tom

Great Barrier stay

We had a great stay. There was a bit of a problem with the hot water but it was resolved while we were there.

If you want a holiday where you feel like you’ve stepped into...

If you want a holiday where you feel like you’ve stepped into paradise, away from the distractions of towns and technology, stay at Sunbeam Sanctuary! The location is spectacular with a beautiful, safe little creek, surrounded by native bush, just steps from the door – where you can see fish, eels, glow-worms - and a delightful bay where we found crystals and explored waterfalls. Rose Cottage is very clean and comfortable and the kids loved the outdoor bath. We’ll be booking in again for sure!

Great property, beautiful location, Nikki couldn’t have been more helpful

We had a truly awesome weekend at Sunbeam Sanctuary - despite the slightly dodgy weather! The house felt perfectly secluded but Nikki was on hand if needed. We found it a perfect base from which to explore the whole island, but you could just as easily spend a whole weekend in Blind Bay.

Great location

We enjoyed the location in blind bay close to the wharf where there is crystal clear water, great fishing, star gazing and memorable sunsets. If you stay here book a massage - incredible!
