Weddings and Special Ceremonies

We have had some very lovely brides in the past years and as we have the space in the backyard to hold a small ceremony and/or reception we have now partnered with Geelong businesses for catering, marquees and wedding decorations. They know the backyard measurements and have the set up down pat!

Our Garden

I have been busy in the garden replacing plants around the front with miniature gardenias and this little beauty Fire Lillie to add some colour to our backyard. Fingers crossed they all take off for a wonderful display in summer.

Things to see and do in Geelong:

Port Philip Ferries - Geelong to Melbourne. Departs from Geelong Waterfront next to the Carousel and docks at Docklands. Great for day trips and of course the footy. For updates visit www.portphillipferries.com.au

From a Local's Point of View

Pakington Street, West Geelong, great for shopping and cafes especially if you're looking for something special. I am also keeping a close eye on Lt Malop Street, city west end. That has turned out to be a great place for foodies and wine bars!

My favourite place Ebony & Ivory, short walk from Sabina on Little Myers now has an Italian influence. I've been there for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner…you can't half tell that I love this place! So cosy with an open fire and lovely décor.

There has been an increase in the number of marine creatures sighted in the bay recently. Dolphins have been seen close to the waterfront in recent weeks - more than typical for this time of year. Apparently, there's lot of fish in Corio Bay at the moment so that is bringing them in close to the marina. Also, another recent visitor, a leopard seal believed to be from Antarctica has come to sun itself at Geelong's waterfront outside the Royal Geelong Yacht Club on a pontoon having a good rest.

The Archibald Prize

Australia's most popular art prize, and one of its most prestigious, The Archibald Prize will be returning to Geelong in 2018! The Geelong Gallery will host the exhibition 22 Sept to 18 Nov 2018. For tickets and further information visit
