welcome to our sanctuary
Planning a weekend getaway? Whether it’s a romantic escape, a peaceful solo retreat, or a coastal adventure with friends, The Sanctuary at Bayside Glamping in Marion Bay offers the perfect setting.
The Sanctuary is Bayside’s newest eco-luxury retreat, nestled on expansive acreage just a short walk from the Marion Bay Tavern and jetty, and minutes from Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park. This adults-only haven blends sustainability with a wabi-sabi design, featuring reclaimed materials and natural elements, offering privacy, space, and a seamless connection to nature.
coastal luxury with room to gather
The Sanctuary is designed for couples seeking a peaceful escape. Its expansive decks and thoughtfully curated interiors offer complete tranquillity.
While The Sanctuary is perfect for a romantic weekend, its spacious outdoor areas can also serve as an exclusive shared space for Bayside guests staying across our properties. Whether it’s a casual catch-up or a relaxed evening under the stars, you’ll find everything you need—extra seating, plates, and glasses included—for a seamless and intimate gathering.
a luxe bathroom experience
No weekend getaway is complete without a touch of indulgence. The Sanctuary’s oversized bathroom brings the spa experience to you. Slide open the glass doors to let in the fresh sea breeze while you enjoy:
MicroCloud luxury hotel robes for ultimate comfort.
Eco Downunder organic cotton bath sheets – soft, sustainable, and luxurious.
Private outdoor decks – sip your morning coffee or an evening glass of bubbles under the stars.
the best of nature & adventure
Just minutes from Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park, The Sanctuary offers the perfect mix of seclusion and exploration.
Wake up to the sounds of nature, sip coffee on the deck, and set out for a day of adventure exploring coastal trails, historic shipwrecks, and pristine beaches. After a day outdoors, unwind in total tranquillity, soaking in the peaceful surroundings of your private retreat.
thoughtfully designed living spaces
The living space seamlessly blends the lounge, dining, kitchen, and fireplace into one inviting area, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxation and connection.
After a day of exploring, unwind by the crackling fire in winter, surrounded by soft lighting and cosy furnishings. It’s an ideal space to settle in with a board game, indulge in a delicious cheese platter, and savour a glass of Barley Stacks Wines’ exquisite rosé, included as a complimentary treat.
fully equipped kitchen
Our kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials for a comfortable getaway.
It includes a fridge and freezer, a two-burner gas stove, a dishwasher, and a Nespresso coffee machine with Barossa Coffee Roasters’ compostable coffee pods. You’ll also find Saha Botanicals loose-leaf teas, as well as coffee, sugar, tea bags, and 200ml of milk.
We provide all the glasses, plates, platters, and serve ware you’ll need for dining. Plus, don’t forget – you also have an additional kitchen in the hut for extra convenience.
outdoor features
The Sanctuary features three decks, with the main deck offering plenty of space for outdoor dining and lounging.
Enjoy your coffee while watching the sunrise over the bay, or relax at any time of day – whether you’re soaking up the sun or seeking shade as it moves across the sky. Lush lawns are a rare sight in Marion Bay, but we wanted to create the perfect space for picnics, Finska, and ring toss.
To maintain a green space year-round despite the dry conditions, we chose TifTuf – a drought-tolerant grass known for its ability to stay vibrant throughout the year.
