Bellarine Babymoon

Between work, appointments and everyone else's opinions, the weeks fill up, and the slow, unhurried time meant for each other keeps getting pushed to later. Bellarine Babymoon is an invitation to press pause.

Tucked in amongst nature in Wallington, about 90 minutes from Melbourne, Birth Sanctuary Bellarine is a private strawbale sanctuary where babies really are born. For two nights it is yours, a grounding, nature-filled space to slow down and come back to each other, before your relationship and your family change in the most beautiful way.

Prepare, the Pregnancy Babymoon, is time to rest, reconnect and get ready for birth in a way that truly means something, with Jodi, a birth educator and former paramedic who has walked alongside birthing families for more than 15 years. It's the kind of preparation that leaves you feeling held, closer as a couple and quietly confident about what's ahead. Maternity photography and a little pampering are there too.

Nourish, the Newborn Babymoon, is for once your baby has arrived. Quiet days to soak up rest and restoration, make sense of your birth and fall in love with your baby, with no visitors coming and going. Simply a space to tune out of the world and step into your babymoon, the way the word was first meant.
