Future Found Sanctuary, Luxury Boutique Hotel By NEWMARK

Phenomenal experience, totally lives up to it's title "regenerative hotel". Staff were friendly, it felt like coming home, the care and attention to detail, interior design, sensory awareness. Just beautiful! Thank you to the incredible team!

Future Found Sanctuary is the ideal place for travellers who wish to immerse themselves in nature and relax in beautiful surroundings that include a balance between stunning architecture, well-appointed rooms, luxurious finishes, and a world-class art collection. The property is one of a kind and sets the standard for five-star luxury in South Africa.

Absolutely stunning, extremely well maintained property and surrounding grounds. We also experienced exceptional levels of guest service from every single member of the team. Outstanding all round 4 night stay.

Not the sanctuary it promises to be, unfortunately. We were drawn in by the photos and the way the place was presented as a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by nature. While the setting is indeed beautiful, the experience didn’t live up to how it was sold. We chose full board thinking it would be relaxing to have all meals on-site, but only lunch was decent. Dinner was overly salty and heavy, and one of us ended up with food poisoning, so we barely touched breakfast the next day. While that can happen anywhere, it’s not what you’d expect after such a polished presentation. More frustrating was the constant smell of burned meat and wood in the main house, which lingered on our clothes and made the space feel far from serene. The design and overall attention to detail also didn’t reflect the calm, refined atmosphere promised online. That said, the staff were kind and did their best. But overall, the stay didn’t match the image or expectations created by the property’s own storytelling.
