Ideal
All good. Host was close to and very helpful. Needs a little bit of TLC in the garden. Ideal for the beach. Everything is there that you need. Only spoilt by the neighbours dogs barking everytime you moved. A quiet G&T in the private garden was not possible. Otherwise good stay. Close to shops and a nice cafe.

Well set up for a couple. Just off busy South Terrace, with all its amenities, the Sanctuary is a quiet space to relax and watch the birds play in the trees, before you head back out.

Brilliant birthday treat!
Lovely 3 day stay to celebrate my birthday. The Sanctuary truly lived up to its name and allowed us to explore Fremantle - particularly South Fremantle - at our leisure. Such a treat for us to walk everywhere and enjoy the cafes, restaurants and interesting shops of Freo, whilst having the beautiful and very comfortable Sanctuary to return to. We'll be back!

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.

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.

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.

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
