Beautiful colour and quality Pounamu. It's a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but my son loves it!
I love it and will wear it every day:) super fast tracking too, thank you
Purchased two as xmas gifts for my kids.
Exactly as the image, but prettier and slightly bigger.
Great quality, fast shipping, awesome comms from Mel, thank you!
Still has that distinct smell hmmm just like back in the old days
Once again love love love it
Will b buying more and love its Brisbane base.
Always loved this Perfume which I've worn since the 70's....omg showing my age now...lol. I don't thing it is as strong as it use to be. Even after washing my clothes back then you could still smell the perfume.
Order as expected. Super fast delivery.
Beautiful small business with gorgeous products.
I purchased the Tiki as a Christmas gift and I know it will be very well received.
The personal touch Mel gives her customers is second to none.
I have made a few purchases from Mel, and have no hesitation in recommending this business for lovely gifts ✨

Our Story
Hi, I’m Mel — a Kiwi in Brissy keeping the family legacy alive.
I started The Sanctuary BNE in 2018, inspired by my family’s original store, The Sanctuary in New Zealand, which has been sharing good vibes and beautiful gifts for over 30 years.
Today, I’m proud to continue that journey — bringing a slice of Aotearoa to Kiwis in Australia and across the globe. Every piece is genuine, natural, and chosen with aroha: from premium greenstone (pounamu) and nostalgic Kama perfume to sterling silver jewellery, crystals, and other Kiwi treasures.
🚚 Free shipping on all orders over $100.
