The Sanctuary: Private Romantic Getaway on the Mid North Coast

The Sanctuary is a private one-bedroom romantic guest house at Clarendon Forest Retreat, designed for couples wanting a secluded bushland escape near Forster-Tuncurry on the NSW Mid North Coast. It features a queen loft bedroom, wood fire, indoor spa, private garden outlook and self-contained facilities.

A Secluded One-Bedroom Retreat for Couples

Hidden among Tallowood shade trees and private gardens, The Sanctuary offers a quiet cottage-style escape for couples who want privacy, comfort and time away from busier accommodation areas.
This split-level sandstone and cedar guest house has a warm country feel, with a loft bedroom, queen size four poster cedar bed, antique furnishings and a cosy sofa beside the log fire. It is designed for slow mornings, peaceful afternoons and relaxed evenings surrounded by native bush.
The Sanctuary also includes a fully equipped kitchen with champagne granite, jarrah finishes, a Smeg oven, antique cedar details and a private bar, making it easy to settle in and enjoy the stay at your own pace.

What Makes The Sanctuary Ideal for a Romantic Escape?

The Sanctuary is suited to couples who want their accommodation to feel like part of the getaway, not just somewhere to sleep. The private setting, indoor spa, wood fire and garden outlook all help create a slower, more personal stay.
Soft leadlight scenes of floating water-lilies surround the spa on one side, while colonial windows open the view towards your private garden. Outside, the north-facing deck gives you space to enjoy the forest, valley and lily-filled dam panorama.
For couples planning a romantic weekend, anniversary stay or winter escape, The Sanctuary offers a quiet balance of seclusion, self-contained comfort and access to the wider Mid North Coast region.
