A sanctuary where the land does the slowing down for you
Burringbar · Byron Bay Hinterland, Northern Rivers NSW
Disconnect from the noise and reconnect with what you need — ten acres of forest and open space in the Byron Bay hinterland. Come for a quiet stay, a group getaway, or simply time to slow down.
Since 2019
Established for conscious travellers, built for quiet
Purpose-built for slowing down, Sanctuary Burringbar is a peaceful nature stay in the Byron Bay hinterland, created for people who want to step away from everyday life and reconnect with nature.
Across ten acres of forest and open space, there is room to walk, rest, read, gather and simply let the day unfold at its own pace.
Come for a private stay, a couple’s escape, a small-group getaway or a future retreat — the space is designed to support time together as naturally as time apart.
DESIGNED WITH INTENTION
A Place Thoughtfully Created for Time Together

From the cabins and shared pavilion to the practice spaces and surrounding landscape, the property has been thoughtfully designed to support both quiet time and meaningful time together.
Whether you arrive as a couple, a small group or for a hosted retreat, the spaces allow the experience to unfold naturally.
