Sanctuary Resort & TreeHouse Restaurant

We stayed overnight in room 20 on our way down south. The room seemed to be freshly renovated and was very nice and comfy. Very spacious. When going to bed the outside lights were shining through the thin curtains. But one quick call to reception and they were more than happy to switch them off for us. All around a great stay and would recommend to anyone.

The first time we stayed overnight at Sanctuary Resort Motor Inn. Although the room was old, they had done a nice renovation and it was very clean. The room was big and looked like a studio with a living room, kitchen, and bedroom. That's why, even though it was old, I give it 5 stars. The staff were friendly and there was also a nice view at the restaurant. We will come back.

I had a fantastic stay at Sanctuary Resort Motor Inn. The service was absolutely top notch, with staff being friendly and helpful, and the location made it super convenient to get around and explore. The rooms were comfortable and well maintained, and while the restaurant menu didn’t have many options to my liking, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Everything else was spot on, and it was a perfect stay.

Me and my family went on a road trip from Brisbane to nsw and we stayed at here for 2 nights. The rooms were all kept tidy and included a fridge 3 beds an ac unit a stove and a large tv . The rooms also came with beds sheets and pillow. Staff were very polite and attended to our every need. We also enjoyed the outdoor pool and the sauna. However the thing that blew me away was the price, it was very affordable, overall, highly recommend coming here. 5 stars!

We always stay here as we enjoy the bush and abundance of birds on this resort. So many trees taken down which was upsetting on this trip. We do hope no more are taken down as this is the reason we come to be with nature. The service has always been awesome and every staff is professional.

The rooms may need renovation asap.

"From December 2025 to January 2026, we traveled through New Zealand and Australia for two months. Along our route, we stayed in 29 different accommodations (hotels and motels). From the perspective of the 60+ generation, we are sharing our objective assessments here. Having experienced a wide range of standards, we want to provide a solid basis for comparison and help other travelers choose their accommodations." Disappointing – Photos Don't Reflect Reality We were unfortunately very disappointed with our stay (January 3-5, 2026). The photos shown online give an impression that we didn't find on site. The biggest criticisms: Condition: The rooms and furnishings are extremely worn and outdated. Time seems to have stood still here. Noise: Since the motel is located directly on the Pacific Highway, a restful sleep is virtually impossible – you can hear the trucks roaring by all night. Service: The restaurant was closed during our stay, which wasn't apparent when booking. Conclusion: There are definitely better options in the Coffs Harbour area. We wouldn't stay here again.

Arrived 6.40pm with no reservation and the lovely receptionist fit us in for a one night stop over. The restaurant was relaxing, great food and staff were friendly and efficient . We could see some renovations and grounds upgrades are underway as well. Very reasonable prices !

Well appointed clean rooms. Excellent pool area. Good parking. Quiet location.

Disappointed with this accommodation

Staff, location, food was fantastic. Room was well appointed but bed was extremely uncomfortable and carpet was stained and lifting in places. Beautiful pool area and view towards coast. Cannot fault staff lovely people
