A true Sanctuary
A spacious and peaceful haven in the midst of South Freo. We really enjoyed our week here. The house has everything you could want. Loads of places to eat and drink within easy walking distance. One minor downside is the parking - very small space around the corner from the entrance to the property. However there is loads of on-street parking as well.

Sanctuary well named
Well documented, lived up to its reviews, lots to love. Only complaint that the aircon is not able to cope with the climate and the fan is noisy. The bed is situated under the eaves so hot air gets trapped. We moved the bed to increase airflow so that improved the situation a little.

Relaxing stay at the Sanctuary
What a wonderful space. Tucked away from the world while being right in the heart of everything. Spotlessly clean. Super comfortable. Gorgeous outlook to the back garden. We extended our stay and would come back anytime!

Freo Charm
Fantastic location, beautifully presented, all amenities you could possibly need, comfortable bed, amazing giant spa bath (think Pretty Woman) and great communication with owner. Downside for us was no curtains in the bedroom and the bathroom was downstairs, while your bedroom and clothes were upstairs, a mirror upstairs would be beneficial. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay :)

Perfect and that little bit different
The Studio is exactly as presented on Stayz. Love the furnishings, style and innovative design. The loft bedroom is perfect for a couple or single. The bathroom is downstairs and it’s best to leave a light on if getting up in the night is required. Love the sheets, one thing missing a face washer. The side light would be good if it came on earlier as you enter. The location is fabulous, we love south freo and it’s a nice walk to Fremantle. The courtyard makes the outlook very relaxing. Highly recommend and would love to return.

Great location
Perfect stay for a couple. Can become hot and stuffy in the upstairs bedroom (open plan), however (noisy) ceiling fan and air con available. Great location ~ everything within walking distance. Franks gourmet butcher was excellent. It would have been nice to have face washers, tissues and champagne glasses availablr however the kitchen was fully equipped. Great decor. Would highly recommend.

Excellent property in good location
We had 28 nights in the property which was on the whole a very pleasant stay. There was an issue with the Internet, which took 8 days to fix, although this was not the fault of the owner. The only other issue we had with the property was that the neighborhood seemed very noisy, mainly dogs barking, and DIY being done early in the morning, so again no fault of the owner.

The Sanctuary is aptly named. It's a well appointed couples retreat in a great position in South Freo, close to shops, including a fabulous bakery, and a brewery just up the road.

Doesn’t get much better!
Beautiful property and garden. Modern fixtures, comfy bed and hardly any noise. A perfect getaway that’s close to central Freo (by free cat bus) but some awesome cafés and restaurants right outside your door. Alison is great to deal with and had thought of everything for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Highly recommend

Was very surprised with how well set out and the quality of the furniture and appliances. Very clean. Garden was lovely and is a sanctuary on its own. Very nice place to stay. The only down fall for me, was the noise from the glass gallery in front early mornings and during the day. Some sound proof doors would complete this fantastic little get away. Thanks again
