- "Fantastic location and accommodation. Such great hosts. " - "Loved our stay, very comfortable room, great place to relax with amazing views and the Jaeger and the other staff made us feel so welcome. Would love to return. " - "This is an amazing place. Staff excellent. Relatively convenient to Paihia dining. Wonderful views. " - "Wonderful stay at the sanctuary. The staff were so friendly. Would definitely go there again." - "We decided to spend a little more on accommodation than we would normally do, and I am so glad we did. I'm sure our trip to Northland would not have been the same if we hadn't. The place is beautiful, calm, the views stunning, everything you see on the photos. What we hadn't anticipated was the natural, unfussy kindness of the hostess, who made us a spectacular breakfast every morning at the time we preferred, and gave us some really great recommendations of what to do with time, kindly made reservations, calls, etc, all kinds of things that would have cost us time and effort to find out ourselves (and most likely wouldn't have found out or thought of). When we came back in the evening the fire was lit in the living room, which were at our disposal too. Our six days there were rich and full, personal and memorable in a way it would never be in a normal hotel. I cannot recommend this sanctuary enough."

- "It’s truly impossible to put into words just how wonderful this place is. “Incredible” doesn’t begin to describe it—think of every positive adjective you can, and it still probably wouldn’t do it justice! We stayed at the First Light Villa and every detail has been so thoughtfully considered to make your stay feel seamless and special. Lauren and Kim were the most gracious hosts, going above and beyond to take care of us. They drove us into town for dinner and picked us up afterward and offered to pick us up or drop us into town anytime. Hospitality at its finest. We walked into town and back during the day via the trails Lauren showed us. And the villa… just wow. It’s something you have to experience to truly understand. The photos are lovely, but they don’t capture the peaceful energy and magic of the space. It’s serene and calming—almost zen-like. The jacuzzi, tucked into the lush greenery, is an absolute dream. There are two fireplaces—one inside and one on the deck, adding a cozy charm that’s perfect for any time of day. The kitchen was fully stocked with breakfast essentials (and then some): smoked salmon, yogurt, oatmeal, eggs—anything we requested! It was luxury from start to finish. The views are simply breathtaking, and the expansive deck is the ideal spot to soak them all in. The upstairs bedroom is spectacular, with panoramic windows that make waking up feel like a dream. We’ve stayed in many places over the years, but this one tops the list. "

Our standard room was spacious and well appointed.Situated on the first floor and on the garden bar side ,we appreciated the lift. Although it didn't bother us this side could be a bit noisy for some. We enjoyed the party atmosphere, the peep of the sea and the view to the hills above Russell.Plenty of other options for rooms in the hotel. The hotel is situated in the main shopping, dining area and close to the wharf, the beach, a tour office and local attractions. Other excellent beaches and vineyards are only a short drive away.
