Tucked away in the heart of the historic Geelong Botanic Gardens, WYM (Where You Meet) is one of Geelong's newest must-visit destinations. Just minutes from Geelong's Eastern Beach, this light-filled café and bar offers a rare opportunity to slow down and soak in nature, making it the perfect escape for day-trippers, weekend explorers, or those passing through on their coastal journey. WYM serves specialty coffee, locally sourced dishes, and a curated selection of infused cocktails and regional wines and craft beers. It's the ideal spot to enjoy a moment of calm before heading out on your next adventure along the Great Ocean Road. Part garden retreat, part setting to share moments with family and friends, it's a destination that feels both private and welcoming, whether you're on a romantic getaway, a family outing, or a solo nature escape.
The venue is led by founder and general manager Kira Hunn, whose background in hospitality and garden design has shaped WYM into more than just a café. With years spent working in venues across Australia and Japan, followed by launching a garden design and consulting business in 2021, Kira set out to create a space that deepens people's connection with the natural beauty around them. Her passion for sustainability and community values is at the heart of everything WYM does. Natural elements are woven into the design, blending seamlessly with the gardens that surround it. From custom-built garden boxes to mid-century-inspired interiors, every detail has been thoughtfully chosen to complement the stunning landscape.
Whether you're exploring Geelong's vibrant waterfront, its historic attractions, or the rugged coast beyond, WYM is a peaceful stop that combines good food, great company, and a true sense of place
