setting   

Central Otago, New Zealand

Earnscleugh Castle is a private estate of thirty acres of landscaped gardens in Central Otago, a region of dramatic, starkly beautiful landscapes, where the modern world recedes into stillness.

Just 9 suites, all for Sanctum 7 guests, where elegant luxury and heritage charm create space for deep, restorative rest.

Facilities

Timeless luxuries  

Featuring modern indulgences alongside timeless luxuries, from pool, spa, sauna and ice bath to ballroom, library and croquet court.

The Culinary Experience 

Private dining by MasterChef winner Aaron Brunet  

Every meal at Sanctum 7 is crafted exclusively for guests by Aaron Brunet, one of the country’s most celebrated plant-based culinary chefs. Grounded in functional longevity nutrition, menus are designed to nourish the body without sacrificing indulgence, elegance or experience.

Aaron curates a ritual of dining within the castle’s grand formal dining room, transforming innovative wellness cuisine into an elegant, decadent experience. Using only ingredients grown on-site or sourced from local producers within the surrounding valley, he tailors each menu - including non-vegetarian options - to create a deeply personal, refined dining experience. 

The Program

The Sanctum 7 program is designed around balance and freedom, combining guided experiences with complete ample time to rest, reset and move at your own pace. 

Guided Sessions

Restoration and Reset 

Five daily sessions form the core of the programme, supporting physical release, mental reset and physiological restoration, including yoga, meditation, sound healing, breath work and ice baths.

Personal time

Rest and Relaxation 

Unstructured time and optional participation in guided sessions allow time to simply be, with massage, pool, sauna, Castle Library and Castle Gardens available throughout the day.

Experiences

Connection and Discovery 

Immersive experiences connect guests to nature, history, food and expertise through private cooking classes, guided hikes, and practitioner conversations.

Our Philosophy

Sanctum 7 is built on the idea of sanctuary as a return to self.  

A gentle, luxuriously restorative journey rooted in presence and equilibrium - where real change happens through pause, not pressure, and wellbeing is experienced as recalibration rather than optimisation.
