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.
