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 some fruit and herbs for a snack to use in cooking a meal. Please be respectful and leave plenty for others to share.
We loved camping at Celestial Glade, it's a lovely, grassy spot with a wonderful outlook across the farm and surrounding land. It's also a great place to look at the stars at nighttime. Although you are staying on a working property, the campsite is very separate and feels very private. It is situated on the outskirts of Warrnambool and close to town and beaches.
Kate and Steve are super friendly and welcoming, providing plenty of information about where you are staying and where to go locally. They were generous with their time as well, sharing their produce from their farm and it was great to have amenities available including a compost toilet & power and the opportunity to have a fire one night when the wind had died down.
This was a lovely camping option for those who don’t enjoy crowded caravan parks in the school holidays. The site was tidy and level, slightly sheltered from the wind, and very quiet. It’s close to beaches and a short drive from town.
The composting toilet is a short walk and very clean. We also enjoyed the well-equipped barbecue area.
Kate was a very helpful host with lots of local information and advice. The actual site is tricky to reverse into uphill with a camper trailer, but Kate and her husband were excellent guides. Thanks for a terrific stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this beautiful property—it’s a joy to explore, the kids loved picking their own apples to munch. The campsite is functional, pleasant, and well-kept, with the soothing sound of waves at night adding to the charm. Kate and Stephen were friendly, helpful hosts who made the experience even better. Highly recommend!
Thanks Kate & Steve for a lovely stay on your property, we felt very welcome. It's a special corner of the world, between pristine beach, (surfing, boogy-boarding, body-surfing), and Hopkins river, shady trees and birdsong. We all enjoyed our family holiday, especially the peace & quiet away from tourist central. Thanks for going the extra mile and helping us out with a backup esky! Would highly recommend.
Beautiful little spot. The garden was so nice. Kate was very accommodating and she was easy to reach when I messaged her. We had such a great time. Thank you!
We had an incredible stay at Sea Mist Traveller’s Rest! The site was level, well-maintained, and offered a quiet, private setting—perfect for a peaceful getaway. The facilities were excellent, with access to water, power, and a clean, well-kept toilet. The BBQ area was a great bonus, complete with all the necessary tools.
Kate was a fantastic host, providing valuable local knowledge about the area. She went above and beyond by suggesting activities and must-see sites, which helped us create a great itinerary for our stay. Her recommendations made our trip even more enjoyable and stress-free.
If you're looking for a tranquil and well-equipped spot with a thoughtful and knowledgeable host, Sea Mist Traveller’s Rest is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!
