Winter In Wilsons

Winter is a great time to escape and explore Wilson’s Promontory. Without all the crowds it's the perfect time to see all the sights but make sure you rug up. Remember there's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing! The weekend was wet and wild but that wasn't stopping us from getting amongst it and created some unforgettable memories. The coastline in this part of the world is rugged with granite rock formations, wild bushland, white sandy beaches and the oceans filled with brilliant blue hues. After a solid day of exploring it was a real treat to come back to a steamy outdoor bath and a fully stocked fire. A complimentary bottle of port and a block of chocolate waited patiently for us after a delicious dinner. Candle light conversations by the fire wrapped up our evening.

A beautifully styled and welcoming space. It is central to explore all the goodness that Wilsons Prom provides. Comfy beds with a cosy fireplace and an outdoor bath all help to relax and unwind. A kitchen with all the essentials to cook your own meals and don’t worry, yes, they have coffee, real coffee. Italian press, stove top style. The house is full of cook books, design books and an inspirational guide book to Walkerville and surrounds best kept secrets.

    From the moment, we passed the entrance we immediately saw an abundance of wildlife – roos, wombats, kookaburras, emus, rosellas and kangaroos.

      A true slice of country Australia with a delightful and delicious little bakery that came through with great coffee and tasty treats to get our day started right. There's also a wonderful organic and local produce store down the street to stock up on veggies and a cheeky vegan caramel slice or two.
