Introducing The Sanctuary: A Safe Haven for Women and Children

Andrew Douglas

Updated: Mar 24



Imagine a place where safety isn't a luxury. Where fresh starts aren’t just hopeful dreams, but carefully crafted realities. That’s exactly what The Sanctuary is designed to be. A one-of-a-kind refuge for women and children escaping domestic violence, offering security, support, and the space to rebuild.


Still in its development stages, The Sanctuary is set to become a private estate with 30 boutique villas, working alongside leading organisations to provide comprehensive care. From essential resources to wellness-focused facilities, it’s a one-stop shop for healing and planning ahead.




A Fresh Start Begins Here



Our flagship facility will welcome up to 130 women, children, and babies each year, helping them transition from fear to freedom over a 12-month stay. With a low-profile design, we’re prioritising privacy and protection, ensuring every resident can reset, refresh, and plan ahead.


Your Stay at The Sanctuary


From the moment guests arrive, they’ll be met with warmth, understanding, and a dedicated reception team (once we’re fully operational) to answer any questions. Need help after hours? The General Manager will be just a phone call away.

For a nominal Resident Service Fee residents receive:


  • A fully furnished three-bedroom villa

  • Weekly groceries & transport

  • Minor medical treatments & therapy sessions

  • Utilities & internet


Rebuilding Confidence, One Self-Care Day at a Time


A fresh start doesn’t just happen on the outside, it’s about reclaiming confidence, strength, and identity. That’s why we’re providing some much-needed self-care and personal development opportunities, including:


  • Beauty Salon: Complimentary hair, makeup, and beauty treatments to help residents feel like themselves again.

  • Gym & Sauna: From personal training sessions to pilates classes and even self-defense lessons, we advocate for strong minds and bodies.

  • Counselling Rooms: Quiet, trauma-informed spaces with qualified therapists offering professional guidance, all with lived experience in overcoming trauma.

  • Private Cinema: Whether it’s the latest blockbuster or a comforting classic, residents can unwind with a great movie selection.

  • Aquatic Spaces: Featuring a heated lap pool, kids’ play area, and slides for the children or even the kids at heart.


More Than Shelter, A Community That Cares

At The Sanctuary, we believe in celebrating moments big and small. That’s why we’re committed to fostering a sense of togetherness, from Christmas celebrations, complete with Santa and gift bags, to simple cooking classes led by professional chefs.


  • Safe Transportation: Security-escorted buses for stress-free school drop-offs and pick-ups.

  • Hobby Farm: Fresh air, veggie gardens, and small animals to encourage healthy outdoor activities.

  • 24/7 Security: With CCTV monitoring and strict access control, safety is never compromised.


Coming Soon…

While The Sanctuary is still in development, our vision is clear: to create a space where survivors can truly heal, rebuild, and thrive. A brighter future starts here. And soon, we’ll be ready to welcome those who need it most. Stay tuned as we bring The Sanctuary to life.
