OUR PHILOSOPHY

A home that fits
your life perfectly.

A home that fits
your life perfectly.

We believe the best home isn’t the biggest one — it’s the one built around you. At Sanctuary, every home begins with a conversation about how you actually want to live: your routines, your landscape, your values.


Built by a team of craftspeople in Wanaka, each Sanctuary home combines quality materials, considered design, and the freedom of sustainable living. From Nelson to Northland, we deliver nationwide.

HOW IT WORKS

Six steps, one carefully built home.

01

Free Consultation

We start with a relaxed call about your site, lifestyle, timeline, budget, and the kind of home you want to wake up in.

02

Choose Your Design

Select the Sanctuary model that best fits your needs, from compact retreats through to spacious family-ready designs.

03

Customise

We refine layout details, cladding, finishes, storage, kitchen, bathroom, and off-grid options so the home feels truly yours.

04

Approve & Confirm

Once the details are right, we confirm scope, pricing, documentation, and the build schedule before work begins.

05

We Build

Our Wanaka craft team builds your home with careful joinery, durable detailing, and updates along the way.

06

Delivery Day

Your home is delivered to site, ready for placement, final connection, and the first quiet evening inside.

"My partner and I had the pleasure of joining with Sam & Joel to create our dream Tiny Home early 2024. It was a joy working with builders that could take our vision and ideas and bring them to life while keeping to our tight budget.

I’d highly recommend Sanctuary Tiny Homes for anyone wanting a Tiny that’s affordable, professionally built, customisable and values a builder that listens and creates what you want without issue and excellent customer service!"
