It’s this kind of Sunday morning.

When you wake up early to the sound of birds, and drops of water gently dripping from the rain the night before. When the oven is hot, you gently manoeuvre your shaped, scored and sprayed dough into the oven, and eagerly watch it rise.

Nothing beats the anticipation, and smell, of crusty fresh sourdough bread … lathered in butter and honey fresh from our bees.

The preparation of sourdough, starting days before with feeding and tending the dough, is part of the satisfaction and final joy of biting into that warm crust.

What’s your favorite sourdough combo - would love to know? My efforts today are half rye/wire flour with seeds and molasses, and just a white loaf. Our sourdough starter we have is a rye starter, which we find works really well. We feed it rye flour.

Actual view of our beautiful night sky at Old Coach Retreat…do you have something better to do?

Winter is our favorite time to spend days right here, sharing a wine by the outdoor fire, soaking in the outdoor bath and just taking in the Milky Way in all her gloriousness.

Your trip down the Great Ocean Road starts right here in the sleepy hamlet of Aireys Inlet.

Happy WORLD BEE DAY 🐝

And Thankyou to our favorite bee keeper who keeps the bees here at Old Coach Retreat and provides us with pure, untreated wonderful honey which our guests receive as a gift from us when they stay.

They forage on the wonderful natives here in the Pai Japan Valley of Aireys Inlet.

What’s your favourite thing about summer in Australia? …

And just like that - summer has arrived. I know there is still a few weeks to go, but the blistering heat, the dry air, the smell of dry grass… and that feeling of being sooo hot you just can’t wait to plunge into the bracing ocean just to cool down.l brought it home for me this weekend.

So many things I love about at Aussie summer - laid back beaches, dinners outside with friends at the pub, paddles on the inlet just to name a few.

Would love to hear yours in the comments below.

It really is the most beautiful time of the year to visit. The grass is high and wistful, the birds are singing and our guests have been soaking it all in!

We are so glad they love it as much as we do and we can share this special place.

Book in your sneaky escape before Christmas!

It seems like a while ago that I received this beautiful poem written by a magician with words for our retreat ticked away on behind the Great Ocean Road.

I finally found the right frame for it and it has taken its rightful place for all our guests to read and enjoy. We think it captures the essence of our special place perfectly.

Thankyou so much Amanda for this lovely piece. So looking forward to meeting you in person in a few weeks ❤️👏

Lately I have been thinking of “rituals” and how we can bring them into our lives to make sure we maintain that little bit of self-care that can be the difference between staying sane and tipping over the edge.

For my daughter, it’s the mindful cup of chai in the morning (made with love) sprinkled with coconut sugar.

For other friends, it’s the twilight dog walk in the park; a favorite song in the morning before the day gets started; 10 minutes of reading in the evening before bed.

I’ve always been a “bather”. I love a good soak in a bath. Even better with bath salts, or bubble bath. But especially good in the outdoor bath at Old Coach Retreat at sunset. With candles and a drink, watching the kangaroos hop by.

I’d love to hear what your favorite ritual is? Where does it happens and what do you take?

Beautiful 📷 from visit last year.
