Stayed here for 1 night passing through for work. Looked up on internet and chose this place prior to arriving in the area. Calling ahead I was given a better rate than the internet sites offered on the day. On arrival I was unsure as the exterior is a bit outdated, but once I got into the refurbished king room... More

This was definiely our first and only stay here! The general outside cleanliness of the place left something to be desired which should have served as a warning. Then in to the room and one of the laounge cushions was missing - just a bare fold out bed that certainly couldn't be used to sit in. This was attended to... More

Motel in wooded area.....bedroom refurbished,modern and clean but reception dated and musty. Dining area behind reception and so initially decided not to have breakfast there. Changed our minds next morning and had a lovely cooked breakfast. With very helpful owners our experience was overall adequate but not quite a 'sanctuary' just yet...

Booked a queen room a couple of days before we arrived in Coffs Harbour. We weren't planning on spending a lot of time at the Sanctuary as we had travelled from Brisbane to Coffs to plan our wedding which is being held in Coffs Harbour. Reception staff were very friendly on check in, and while our room is one of... More

Excellent service. Great size twin room. Great beds. Pillows need to be better. Close to everything. Pool looks great. Outside needs an update but the room makes uo for thst. Cheap and well worth it. Will be back.

Nice refurbished clean room with most of the comforts, although the pillows could have been better. Large room with a queen bed and double sofa that could have slept another 2, good value. The outward appearance is a bit shabby and the grounds would benefit from more care and landscaping, but it was a quiet venue and I had a... More

We were travelling as one of two couples arriving at separate times. Drove in without booking as the motel was convenient to our route. New owners. The first to arrive, we were greeted in a friendly manner and booked for both couples. We chose to take a room with a separate spa and a balcony while the couple arriving later... More

Sorry to hear your friends were unhappy with the non-renovated Mgr's. Res. We have spent over 1 million $ so far, on renovations to achieve 4 star standard in all other rooms, and are continuing.

Stopped here overnight and felt it was very good value for the price. Room was very comfortable and recently renovated (very clean), excellent breakfast, friendly service by the hotel staff. Would recommend as a stop over for business. If I had to criticize would say it was hard to find.
