About Us.
Rooted in Nature. Privately Yours.
The Barn was born from a deep reverence for the land and a desire to offer something personal, spacious, and grounded. Nestled in Bellbrae on Victoria’s Surf Coast, this off-grid barn has quietly held space for intimate gatherings, healing work, and soulful connection.
We offer The Barn for private hire so others can gather in their own way—without distraction, without compromise. From Common-Unions of Love to farewells, milestone celebrations to day retreats, we honour the full cycle of life with presence and care.
Rooted in the principles of natural lore, The Barn offers a setting where love is witnessed by community, stories are shared in sacred rhythm, and connection is remembered as our most natural state.
This is a place where time slows, presence deepens, and meaning rises to meet the moment. A soulful setting for those seeking beauty, truth, and something real.
