Welcome to your central retreat in the heart of Warrnambool!
As you step into our cozy abode, you'll be greeted by a warm and inviting ambience, thoughtfully curated to ensure a memorable stay.
Sink into the lux velvet couch in the comfy living area, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration.

The master bedroom indulges with a king-sized bed, a luxurious freestanding bathtub, and a large ensuite, complete with a step-free double-headed shower, heated towel rail, and premium toiletries from ZeroCo (which smell amazing, as well as reducing single-use plastics that go back into the environment.) Plus linen robes for use, to add that extra level of comfort.
Local handmade bath salts, divine Australiana hand-poured candle, and Dindi bubble bath is also supplied to elevate the soaking experience to new heights.
The second bedroom offers equal comfort with a queen-sized bed, a bathroom and a separate toilet just down the hall.

Henna at Warrnambool Retreat was lovely! The house is beautiful, we loved the bath, and it was a great place to stay.
In Warrnambool, we loved the beach, breakfast at the Pavilion, and heading over to the farmers market at Port Fairy.

Thanks Alison for the perfect welcome to Warrnambool. The accomodation at Henna was perfect, with Alison having thought of literally everything from the body wash, soaps and shampoos in the bathroom t...o the candle and matches in a jar next to the bath in the main bedroom. The old world charm was divine with the vintage radio, camera, books and silverware placed around the house along with the record player and selection of albums. And we can't forget the special touches in the pantry. And I loved hanging out in the hanging egg chair in the back soaking up the afternoon sun. It really was the perfect escape from 2 years of Victorian lockdown. We can't wait to return in winter soon to stay when we come back to watch the whales, and definitely will share the magic with all our friends!

What a treat!
Laying by the fire drinking wine listening to records. The bath in the main bedroom is out of this world - the bath salts, the candle & the seagull.. I could have stayed forever!
The a...partment is tastefully decorated (my fav - the beautiful photographs throughout), and functional - the attention to detail is impeccable. There's everything you need & more
Centrally located we were spoilt for choice with things to do in the area beaches, shops, restaurants it's all there. Alison (host) was wonderful, insightful and informative - booking was simple, I was welcomed with a lovely note, chocolate & wine! (which will always win my vote) I highly recommend !!!

Hi, my name is Alison, I moved to the amazing coastal town of Warrnambool 10 years ago with my family, a return home for my husband - who grew up on a Dairy Farm in Terang. We have both traveled around the world and seen plenty of amazing things, but feel privileged to call Warrnambool home. We love our town and are excited to share it with you.

Adventures Nearby
Here are some details about the adventures nearby. Refer to the map for their location.
Cold Ocean Dip
An icy swim to get your blood flowing. Who says you can't go swimming in winter?!
Look For Whales At Logans Beach Whale Nursery
Just a short drive from Bohemia Cafe you can find Logans Beach, which is also a whale nursery. Enjoy some time on the lookout or on the beach and don’t forget to keep an eye out for whales breaching!
Exploring Tower Hill
A dormant volcano with beautiful views and numerous hikes. You may even spot a koala or two!

Beer Tasting At Noodledoof Koroit
Noodledoof is a super cool new brewery making its mark in Koroit. Grab a booth and settle in with a beer from one of their 11 taps, sample a tasting paddle, or simply watch the masters at work in the glass-walled distillery. The food is elevated gourmet pub grub; the buffalo-coated cauliflower is an absolute must!

Port Fairy Lighthouse On Griffiths Island
Faithfully guiding ships since 1859, the Port Fairy lighthouse is a must-visit (especially at sunrise!). Follow the walking track (1.2km to the lighthouse or 3.1km for the full loop) through the gorgeous little reserve and enjoy spotting wallabies in the golden light. Whales also pass by during the winter months, so keep your eyes peeled if you're visiting then.
