Inside The Sanctuary
Retreat to the Sanctuary—where rest becomes ritual, where Mother Nature speaks in wind whispers, bird calls, rain meditations and your heart and soul finally has space to listen.
WITH GRATITUDE
“Waking up in the sanctuary after a beautiful cosy night sleep held in the safety and softness of the yo’m was pure bliss, surrounded by the carefully curated and wonderfully handpicked furnishings that Amanda has chosen adds to the experience of feeling totally cared for and held in this wonderful magical space!
Don’t let the nature of an off grid fool you into thinking this is anything less than luxury.
The little bathroom has everything you’d need and more light and airy space with a beautiful full-size shower to enjoy the hot water during my shower, a luscious space inside the yo’m to spread out in and enjoy the retreat from busy life. Walk up the gorgeous back garden to the top of the hill, taking in the fresh air and scenery.
Much love xo

“What a gorgeous retreat space! It was just the thing my soul needed after a busy summer and vacation with family. You are so generous with your cards and crystals, etc., and your warm energy made it that much easier to relax into some time alone.
I appreciated your flexibility with my friend Sarah coming to stay one of the nights; it was a great chance to connect and we talked late into the night. The spiral was a great experience and I would have walked it multiple times if I wasn’t recovering from a broken ankle!
Thank you for the lovely stay — I hope to come again!”

What great attention to detail in this sanctuary. I’ve been struggling a lot lately with family, spouse & work and this was a great place to go to spend time by myself. The bluetooth speaker was amazing as I got to listen to spa music all night. I will definitely be back and hopefully stay 2 nights next time as one just wasn’t enough. Thank you so much Amanda for sharing your Sanctuary.
