We loved our stay at Sakari's Sanctuary. Cathie was a lovely host and very communicative. The property was a perfect size for our family of four and our dog loved the fully fenced garden. This stay was about the little details, you can tell a lot of effort was made to make our stay as enjoyable as it could be. Would definitely stay again.

Our second visit to Sakari's Sanctuary. Cathie is one of the best hosts we have experienced. Leaving lovely welcome gifts for both us and our fur babies. The garden is so secure which our dogs absolutely love exploring and playing in. The house is sooo dog friendly with every comfort certainly a home from home. We cannot recommend Sakari's Sanctuary highly enough. The location is perfect for shops beaches and walks. We will certainly return for our 3rd stay in the future.Thank you Cathie
