Winki Inn is a secluded self-contained unit overlooking notorious Bells Beach

As the clouds roll over the hills and the blue sky peeks through, the view from our window is nothing short of breathtaking.

Take in the majesty of Bells Beach from the comfort of your room at Winki Inn. Let the beauty of nature inspire your soul and uplift your spirits.

🥾 Fairhaven
🥾 Urquhart bluff

Few things in life are better than watching the sunset with someone special... except maybe a bottle of wine and some cheese!

Sunsets can be enjoyed indoors from Winki Inns' large window with a glass of your favourite local wine and cheeses or outdoors like this one on the grass or beach. Make it a date with a picnic blanket, nibbles, wine and someone special ❤️.

Spiro has been a highlight of our guests visits from the start and he has a permanent place in our hearts!

Spiro's favourite things to do include greeting guests, getting ear and neck scratches and watching kangaroos and magpies from the front of the property with his new best friend Arlo. If he was allowed in Winki Inn we think he would spend all day every day hanging out with our guests on the couch!

✨ the ocean
✨ our full bellies
✨ the fresh air
✨ freedom to explore our local
✨ friends, family and those we share our life's journey with
✨ good coffee!

Waking up is always easier

Rest profoundly. Sleep serenely. Dream pleasantly. ✨

In our little Winki Inn surrounded by gorgeous landscapes, we close our eyes to the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore and the leaves swaying in the wind and drift off to sleep. Tomorrow we wake up for another day of beach adventures, coastal walks and making memories that will last forever.

02/01/2023

Arrive to a bottle of local wine to celebrate your arrival, local bread and honey harvested from our flow hives for brekky, homegrown vegetables to cook up for dinner, and eggs straight from the chook pen.

Cook up a storm in our kitchen our sample some of the Surfcoasts local restaurants, bars and cafes. Whichever you choose enjoy a full belly and a happy soul!

"A peaceful, clean and comfortable space to escape to. Wonderfully designed for an enjoyable stay, and the view from the panoramic window constantly delivers. I'll be back." - Cam from AirBnB

Play until it is time for rest then rest until it is time for play! We hope that everyone is finding a little bit of time for both rest and play over the holiday season.

Also, how cute are our Kip&Co towels? 😍

Arlo, our newest Winki Inn family member, is keeping an eye out for Santa to make sure our guests don't miss out on gifts and presents. 🎅🏻 🐕

Our four-legged residents, Arlo and Spiro, aren't allowed in Winki Inn but one of their favourite pastimes is meeting guests and spending time on the lookout in front of our panoramic window.

Enjoying some moments of peace in between the end-of-year madness.

We are eternally grateful to have and share the iconic Surfcoast on our doorstep. This is one of our favourite places to stroll around to feel the sun on our faces, the wind in our hair, and get a breath of fresh air.

Self-care means giving yourself permission to pause. 🙌

And pausing for a warm shower after a dip or surf in the cold ocean is something we will always give ourselves permission for.

We are proud to stock Winki Inn with the local brand The Herbalist the herbalist bells beach . They are passionate about preserving a connection to the natural environment and organic living, making them perfect for our little getaway.

14/12/2022

Letting go and indulging in perfect moments ✨

Moments of peace through the large window, the fresh air on our faces and listening to the surf and hearing only birds and wind.

11/12/2022

Is there a better way to start the day 😊

A cup of hot fresh coffee, natural light and disconnected from all technology ✨

"My partner and I had such a lovely time at Winki Inn. It was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. Kylie and Mark were very accommodating and made the stay super easy. Winki Inn has the perfect warm/relaxing/chic vibe. From the minute you walk in you immediately feel calm, then you lay back on that super comfy couch and watch the breathtaking view. We will absolutely be coming back."

A getaway is made even better with the right book!

Especially when...
📖 it's raining, cold, wet or windy but you want to explore new places and worlds.
📖 you're not sure what to cook for dinner or need something special for a date night.
📖 you can't pick your next day adventure and need a helping hand.
📖 the sun is beaming, birds are chirping and you want to relax and enjoy the fresh air.

Shout out to for her delicious natural, plant-based summer recipes (on the bottom shelf 😉) that we can't get enough of! We recommend checking out her books for delicious treats or sustainable home recipes and ideas!

Our recipe for the perfect start to the day:

🦜 Waking up to the sound of nothing but birds
🥾 Make the short walk to the beach
🌊 Immerse yourself in the cool refreshing water for some cold therapy

The weather may be getting warmer (albeit slowly) but the water is still as refreshing as ever!

Won't be long until we have our first passionfruit! We can't wait to taste the very first one.

Hopefully, there will be enough to share in our welcome hampers... though it might be a challenge to not eat them all ourselves.

Fresh bread thanks to Zeally Bay Sourdough, honey from the hive, fresh eggs from the chicken coop and homegrown tomatoes... feels like arriving home ✨

Retreat: a quiet or secluded place in which one can rest and relax.

This is your daily reminder that it is ok to retreat and take time for yourself. Escape from the modern world, unplug, unwind, explore nature, reduce stress, build connections and make time to do the the things you love doing!

22/11/2022

Taking inspiration from the outside!

Stone and wood are key features at Winki Inn. From the entry to the bathroom, these two materials come together to create a warm and luxurious home base for our outdoor adventures.

“The antidote to exhaustion isn’t rest. It’s nature.”
– Shikoba

We think it's a little of both! When feeling overwhelmed, lacking motivation or feeling low, stepping outside, taking some deep breaths and observing nature can put everything back into perspective... add on some much-needed rest on top of that and we think we have the perfect antidote!

14/11/2022

Sunrise and chill trumps Netflix and chill any day! ❤️

Getting up is a whole lot easier when we're rewarded with gorgeous sunrises over the water, or, if we're feeling lazy, over the rolling hill from our large Wink Inn window!

12/11/2022

First coffee ☕️ then a walk to the beach for some ocean views, salty air and sand between our toes 🙌

Lazy Sundays are our favourite!

12/11/2022

This is your reminder to turn off the TV and spend some quality time together this weekend ✨

Some of our favourite stay-at-home date night suggestions are: Create your very own cocktail together, play a board game, have an indoor picnic - home-cooked or ordered in, put on some music and have a dance, and have a chocolate, cheese or another treat tasting.

There is something so calming about this little bedroom nook. We could lay in bed and watch the changing shadows created by our bedside lampshades all day. 🥰

It's all about the lighting

Lighting can change the mood and feel of any room 💡 We love some natural light for reading on the couch and warm ambient light for enjoying some tea or wine after dinner. What is your favourite type of lighting? Does it depend on the time of day and activity?

Enjoy the mid-week sun, sand and strolls with the whole place to yourself ✨ 🌊 ☀️ Winki Inn is only a short walk away from Otway National Park, Surfcoast Walk and iconic Bells Beach which you can enjoy mostly to yourself on weekdays during the school term. Of course, the views are just as spectacular on school holidays and on weekends but there's something humbling and extra special about having the beautiful landscape (mostly) all to yourself! Who would you take on a mid-week getaway?
