Stayed Nov 10, 2025Wonderful relaxing stay for both dogs and humans. Home away from home. Cathie is very kind and considerate and she goes out of her way to make sure her guests (dogs and humans) are comfortable and enjoy their stay. We travel a lot with our dogs and cannot recommend this stay high enough as it was one of our best accommodation - house, secure yard, huge garden space and outdoor/indoor space. Could not find anything negative at all. Wonderful thanks Cathie

Stayed Sep 28, 2025My husband, two girls (5 & 3) and I have truly enjoyed our stay at Sakari’s Sanctuary. Cathie’s attention to detail is amazing…we were greeted with wine, cheeses, chockies, hand made koalas and even dog treats for our two pups! The fridge was stocked with the basics and the beds were super comfy. Just beautiful. Our dogs absolutely loved hanging out on the deck and exploring the secured yard, as well as going for walks along the water.The home itself is quite private but still located close to the shops and the water. This place is perfect for young families! Thank you for making our trip so comfortable, Cathie. It was a home away from home for us

Stayed Jul 18, 2025Sakari's Sanctuary is everything you could want for your family and pets.. Easy check-in directions, the most welcome feeling upon arrival, with personal touches everywhere. We arrived and had breakfast supplied with fresh free range eggs and milk in the fridge. The pantry was stocked full of condiments and necessities to start your stay. Cathie goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable with so many additional items included, that its like staying in a family relatives home. The house is super clean and has a generous backyard for the pets to roam freely. A fantastic outdoor deck and bar-b-que area also.Location is perfect. Set back a 5 min walk from the main street of town, we had the quiteness that we were after, and were able to leave the car parked most of the time.This place ticked all the boxes for our family and new dog. I look forward to a return stay. Thankyou Cathie

Stayed Mar 28, 2025Sakari's isnt just dog friendly, Cathie loves dogs and it shows in her hospitality for them and their owners. This place is comfortable, safe for your furry family and really well located. Cathie makes sure you (and your fur family) are comfortable on arrival with treats and all the basics. Well equipped for all of you (dog bowls, dog towels as well as all that stuff for human visitors!). Comfort and value.

The space was clean, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for us and our fur babies.The location was perfect—quiet and peaceful, yet conveniently close to local attractions, shops, and dining. Every little touch, from the cozy bedding to the welcoming atmosphere, showed a genuine effort to create a memorable guest experience.I can’t recommend this place highly enough. If you’re looking for somewhere for your dogs, this place is it!! I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Stayed Dec 31, 2024Our accommodation was chosen for our pet. Yes we wanted our holiday but the accommodation had to be spot on for our dog.The accommodation was all about pets. We knew that the second we drove in. Safe grounds, secure fencing. What was an additional wow was a toy awaiting Barry, borrow a bed for him, a list of dog friendly eateries Our heart broke for the owner of Sakari her beloved pooch passing away in December. One beautiful dog who drew us to the accommodation in the first place.We can not recommend this property enough.

Stayed Dec 13, 2024Lots of pet friendly places available .... that arent really. Especially if you have furry family that are large dogs. Sakari's Sanctuary is extraordinary. Cathie takes the time to welcome pets whether small or large with treats, bedding and towels (very welcome after that post-swim rinse under the hose!) She looks after humans with equal care and thoughtfulness. Great place to stay! House is clean and comfortable and has everything you might need. Location is great. Awesome spot. Thanks Cathie!!!
