The CBD is only 5 minutes drive from the property great variety of restaurants, art galleries, gift shops, boutiques and speciality shops as well as supermarkets and other large chain stores such as, Woolworths, Coles, Audi, K-Mart and Target. Set on 2 acres, Sea Mist was purchased as a subdivision in 1998. The garden and house were also designed then and given council approval the following year. The extensive gardens incorporate both design ideas that Edna Walling used, and Bill Mollison and David Holgren developed with their Permaculture principals. The gardens were established over a number of years to follow, aiming to be as sustainable as possible. Although the property has town water connected, for most of the year it runs totally on tank water. The wastewater is recycled and used on many of the gardens. We have organic orchard and vegetable gardens that use companion planting and successive crop rotation. Guests are free to spend time in the garden and pick what is in the garden to use in cooking meals.

We loved our travellers site for the caravan at Sea Mist. Excellent location and surrounded by beautiful vegetation. Kate was very welcoming and helpful. Would highly recommend!

Celestial Glade

We enjoyed our time at this very impressive property! Very comfortable space with great views, well sheltered from the wind. Was quite private despite others staying on the property at the same time. Very well planned property with everything you need, and extensive instructions make everything easy! Would definitely go back again.

Hostess overwhelmed

Hostess was rude to us when we came up to greet her and have additional information. “YOU DIDNT READ MY TEXT DID YOU ?”, even though the text in question was addressed to me with the wrong name on it. She does everything by text and is probably overwhelmed with multiple businesses. Spot is lovely but we lacked a good welcome.

Celestial Glade

A garden of Eden!

My partner and I pitched our 5 x 5 metre bell tent on the Celestial Glade Camp spot and loved it! It was snug but we had enough room for our table and chairs. We were situated above a wonderful garden, overlooking apple and pear trees whilst hearing the ocean in the distance. We got to eat said apples and pears...what a treat! Kate was so warm and welcoming, we loved hearing about the Sea Mist property - she and her husband have done an amazing job setting it all up. The location was fantastic. It is such a stunning area around there and we visited lots of beautiful beaches and the awesome Deep Blue Hot Springs. We left feeling so refreshed, with a deeper connection and love for Warrnambool. We will definitely return. Thanks so much Kate.

Kates place was lovely, such a beautiful environment and garden with close proximity to the river and beach. Kate was very accomodating and her husband helped us with a 10A to 15A cable so we could connect our motorhome. We were there with our 2 kids towards the end of our great ocean road trip and we can all highly recommend a stay at her place. Thanks Kate!

Kate has a lovely garden in a spot within easy walking distance of the river mouth, so a lovely natural area. Great to have use of a composting toilet, and bbq gear if we had wanted to use it. Our Ute with a rooftop tent fitted neatly into the space - anything bigger would be tricky.
