Wonderful little cosy home for a few days with a magnificent vast view that constantly changes . The location was perfect for driving to whale watching tour close by at Port Welshpool as well as hiking in the Prom. House has everything we needed and property very well maintained.

The Bluegum Cabin at The Yanakie House was perfect for a weekend city escape - you just can't beat that outlook sitting in the chairs on the porch! We were spoilt with the weather in late April and en...joyed as many beaches as we could fit in. Highlights incldued: The Big Drift, Picnic Bay, Shallow Inlet and Sandy Point.

Hi, I'm Wendy! I'm an outdoor loving architect with an absolute passion for finding elements of beauty in every aspect of life. I am a proud mother of three enjoying the next stage with grand-babies. Life has been busy and full of surprises but now it has led me on a new adventure. I craved a relaxing escape, a place of solitude and pure natural beauty. A place where I can be creative, be outdoors , plant a garden and I can enjoy every single moment with family and friends. The refurbishment of the Yanakie House and Cabins has allowed me to express my lifelong interest in art, collecting and making. I immediately loved the connection I developed with the space. My creative and practical skills were combined to create an artistic and relaxing paradise in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. I have ensured access for all levels of mobility and now I want to be able to share this with all of you! The Yanakie House is a perfect base for my walks into the prom, we are ten minutes from the gate of Wilson’s Promontory National Park. My first ever hike was through stunning Wilsons Promontory many years ago and I have wonderful childhood memories of Christmas in my uncle’s VW combi on Waratah Bay. Yanakie, a Koori name from the Gunai language, is interpreted as “ between the waters’ draws strong parallels to it's incredible heritage. To our South West is beautiful Waratah Bay and Sandy Point with their fabulous swimming beaches. To the East, Foster, Port Franklin and Toora open onto Corner Inlet. The region has is a strong aboriginal heritage, nearby is Toora, (which translates from the Koori Gunai as “women who look after the fire and keep the fire alight’. From me to you, I would love you to enjoy this space. Come and get creative, reflect, relax. There are so many stunning hikes, places to visit, fish to catch, you can paint or do yoga in our studio, set up a marquee for a special day or just relax with an indescribable view. Make it special, in your own way.

Here are some details about the adventures nearby. Refer to the map for their location.

The Big Drift

Returning to the Wilsons Promontory for a second little adventure, we were blown away by this incredible spot that I'm sure many miss! Just beyond the entrance to the national park, you can take a walk through the bush to arrive at these expansive dunes. It feels like you've stepped into the Sahara Desert and the ever-changing winds means the only footsteps you'll likely see are your own.

Sandy Point

Sandy Point is a beautiful beach, take the kids and have a play or take a nice long walk from one point to the next. Iconic for its beautiful sand and clear waters, you might even find a wave!

Stand Up Paddle Kayaking

You will find the Darby River on your drive into Wilsons Promontory. The river winds it's way with views of the mountains before flowing into Whisky Bay. Tidal River is located within Wilsons Promontory National Park and flows into Norman Bay.

Fishing

A short stream flowing from inaccessible scrub country in the Wilsons Promontory National Park. Fishing is permitted below the Tidal River Road but no fishing is allowed upstream.

Wildlife Walk

Practice your animal calls and whispers, and you might be lucky enough to see wombats, kangaroos, wallabies. This one is suitable for all, just head to google maps and search 'Wilsons Prom Wildlife Walk'. Level: Super Cruisy. Distance: 2.3km. Time: 30 minutes.

Explore The Prom

Wilsons Prom, or simply 'The Prom', is undoubtedly one of Victoria's most pristine pockets of wilderness. The seemingly untouched sands of Whisky Bay, with its crystal-clear (albeit chilly) sea and interesting boulders had us feeling swept away to an island paradise. After a blissful beach day, we topped it off by a hike up Mount Oberon for sunset, where the views are sublime!
