Green Falls Escape

Green Falls is located on a 134-acre cattle farm in Wangoom, 10 min drive from Warrnambool. We have created a space that offers relaxed, laid-back, country luxury. 

The paved space includes a hot tub, table and chairs and fire pit. But the best feature of all is the stunning scenery - sit back and enjoy the simple beauty, as the sun rises or sets on the peaceful landscape. By night, the stars are simply brilliant. 

Surfing lessons, fishing, kayaking and whale watching are just a few of the many local activities you can enjoy during your stay. Alternatively, why not enjoy a quiet afternoon on one of Warrnambool’s beautiful beaches, explore nearby Port Fairy, or experience the magic of nearby Hopkins River Falls? 

We will provide an initial bundle of firewood to get you started with your campfire, and you can purchase additional wood or BYO. Please see Extras at the time of booking. 

Whilst we can accept well-behaved dogs, we ask that you please discuss this with us prior to booking. The property is fringed with electric fences, so we ask that they be kept under control at all times, and do not hassle the cattle or the neighbouring dogs. 

If you're looking for an unforgettable, relaxing rural getaway then come and enjoy the fresh air and local pleasures of this peaceful property.
