Sanctuary Palms  

Perched in the heart of Paihia on the Bay of Islands, Sanctuary Palms sits a five-minute walk from Paihia Beach and the wharf. You're minutes from Bay of Islands sights and about 1.7 miles from the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. This luxury apartment-style retreat puts beaches, cafes and water departures on your doorstep.

Tucked into native bush and sub-tropical gardens, the property offers four individually themed, self-contained suites — from a 200 m² Penthouse to intimate Waterfall and Pacifika suites. Expect fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, DVD players and full kitchens in the rooms. A living plant wall and private sea views add a tranquil, slightly luxe vibe.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout, garden setting, luggage storage, laundry and housekeeping on request. Onsite parking and a roundtrip airport shuttle are available for a charge. Continental breakfast is served daily (fee applies). Safety deposit boxes, a shuttle service and a small restaurant are also onsite.

A conference hall is available for meetings, and reliable high-speed internet keeps you connected.

A restaurant on the property serves guests, and continental breakfasts are offered daily from 8:00–9:00 AM for a fee. A short walk brings you to local cafes and waterfront eateries around the wharf.
