We had 2 very relaxing nights at this amazing sanctuary! The property is fabulous with everything a guest could need, however, Trish - the host - takes it to the next level. Trish is friendly, generous and kind. The breakfasts (prepared by Trish) are very special and really delicious.

Diane Australia

The host Trish is fantastic! So friendly and welcoming. The breakfasts are fantastic! Worth going for just the fresh baked treats by Trish! You won’t be left hungry in the morning! The location is ideal. So peaceful with beautiful views and within perfect reach of the prom and local Waratah Bay. Thank you Trish for the perfect retreat from city life.

Jason Australia

Exceptional hospitality from the owner Trish. Breakfasts are amazing and other attentions to detail are first class. Great location for exploring Wilson's prom. Would stay again 100%.

Neal Ireland

Fantastic place: very spacious, comfy bed, homemade breakfast, lovely host... felt totally pampered!

Marc Switzerland

Everything, especially Trish, the owner-host. Her warmth and hospitality is infectious. Worth staying here just to share in her joyful spirit.

Nicholas Singapore

Trish was an amazing host and makes the most amazing breakfasts from locally sourced produce where possible. The location was tranquil and we can't wait to come back!

Karen Australia

Trish is the friendliest host. The included breakfast is the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten. The cottage itself is so cosy with the wood fire there for the winter months and luxurious bedding.

Host Info

Host Review Score 10

SanctuaryAtWaratah is the place to come when you need to get away, but want to feel at home. Private, exclusive, luxuriously comfortable and yet warmly welcoming, this self-contained two-bedroomed B&B offers couples' accommodation in a rural setting overlooking Shallow Inlet and Wilson's Prom. The stylish fit out and furnishings are of the highest quality, making this the perfect place to relax, unwind and reconnect with whatever and whomever is most important to you. The accommodation comprises a stand-alone cottage with a large living/dining area with views out towards Wilson’s Promontory, two bedrooms with king-sized beds and a central bathroom where you shower in filtered rain water. Delicious food prepared with care ensures guests leave feeling contented and spoilt. A gourmet continental-style breakfast is prepared daily. Showcasing the best local produce and reflecting what is in season, the menu might include a fruit & honey smoothie, roasted rhubarb layered with Gippsland yoghurt and homemade nutty granola, Irish soda bread with raspberry jam or pesto salami loaf with cream cheese. Yum!

I invite you to share in my joy and delight in SanctuaryAtWaratah. During my professional life, this was the place I came to escape. Now having made a ‘sea change’, I can share it with others. Hospitality has always been my ‘thing’, with a constant stream of friends and family arriving to stay, eat, drink, laugh and let go. So please, take a break, come on down and let this place work its magic on you too. Be assured, you will be most warmly welcomed.

South Gippsland - Prom Country - Australia's best kept secret. Only two hours drive from Melbourne, this is the place where you can walk the beach along Waratah Bay and have it all to yourself. On the drive down through Gippsland's rolling green hills, you might sample the wares at the gin distillery in Loch or the microbrewery in Korumburra, stop to browse at Lacy's Jewellers as you come through Meeniyan or drop in to the Alison Lester bookshop in Fish Creek. Once here, you can do as much or as little as you like. Hike in Wilsons Prom, ride a bike along the Great Southern Rail Trail, wind surf at Shallow Inlet, explore the lime kilns at Walkerville or just lie on the beach at Waratah Bay. You can feast on wonderful local artisanal produce - Berry Creek cheese, Amber Creek ham, Fish Creek olive oil, washed down with award-wining wine from Waratah Hills or delicious cider from Gurney's Cidery. With no light pollution, you can do a bit of brilliant star gazing before having the best night's sleep in a long time. Then you can return home, refreshed and renewed.
