So… what happens now?

Well, apparently I’m not very good at sitting still. 😂

For the next chapter, I’ll be travelling back and forth to Spain to keep up with Felix and his golf, because apparently one country just isn’t enough. ⛳️✈️

After more than a decade of being “that mum” following motocross around Australia and France, living out of vans, sitting in freezing paddocks and spending more hours at race tracks than I care to admit I’m slowly getting a little more freedom back.

Which is exciting… and slightly terrifying. 😂

So I thought, rather than wondering what I’m going to do with myself, I’d take you along for the ride.

There are so many stories from those years that I’ve never really told. The travelling, the boys, the sport, the highs, the lows and all the ridiculous moments in between.

And then there’s Pilates. I’m finally finishing the studies I started, and I’m really excited to see where that takes me.

And Spain… well, the more time I spend there, the more I wonder whether there might be another little adventure waiting for me. Maybe even a new place to create something special. 🤍

So, no big five-year plan.

Just a woman in her late 40s… nearly 50 😂… following her kids, finishing her Pilates studies, exploring Spain and trying to work out what the next chapter looks like.

And honestly… I think that might be the best plan of all.

Come along for the ride 💖

Part one - My Boys 💙
(Old picture but sums up our lives )

With a very full heart, I’ve made the difficult decision to keep Grasslands closed for another year.

I had been so excited to come home and bring my dream to life to reopen Grasslands.

But my boys have decided to remain in Europe and follow their own dreams. And right now, as their mum — and a single mum — my children have to come first.

So I’m following them.

It’s not necessarily where I imagined I’d be, but life has a funny way of changing our plans and showing us what really matters. 🤍

Same dream, new direction.

I’m confident, adventurous and full of life, and I’m taking my passion for wellness and years of retreat-hosting experience online. Grasslands may be closing its doors, but I’m just getting started.

Stay tuned 👀

A little corner of the Surf Coast made for slowing down, reconnecting and enjoying the simple things. 🌿

Four bedrooms. Eight guests. Beautiful spaces, nature, movement and time to simply be.

The wellness industry is changing.

We’re seeing a shift away from wellness being something we simply do — a yoga class, a massage, a workout towards experiences that bring together movement, nature, food, connection and space.

I love the idea of Grasslands being part of that shift.

A place where wellness practitioners can bring their communities, where people can come together for experiences, or simply somewhere beautiful to stay, slow down and reconnect.

Because sometimes the space around us is just as important as what we do within it.

🌿 Grasslands — a place to stay, gather, connect and feel well

The next chapter of Grasslands… ✨

When Grasslands reopens next year, I want it to be something more than simply a place to stay.

I’m creating a space for retreats, connection and wellbeing, from creativity, sports and wellness to everything in between.

But at the heart of it all will always be the same thing: the way you feel when you arrive.

I want every guest to feel welcomed, nourished and truly looked after. A chance to slow down, step away from everyday life and leave feeling like they’ve had a real break.

I’ll also be opening Grasslands as a bed and breakfast experience, with the same warmth and personal hosting.

This next chapter is about creating stays with a little more soul.
Not just somewhere to sleep, but somewhere to feel good. 🤍

And this is just the beginning

💭 Just a thought… Monthly Singles Dinners at Grasslands, hosted by Kate Rose

Picture summer evening sunsets under the veranda, surrounded by nature, with stunning views, great food, plenty of laughs and the chance to meet new people from the Surf Coast.

A relaxed, fun evening for singles who are ready to get out, connect, have a laugh and maybe meet someone special. ❤️

Let me introduce myself. ✨ I’m Kate Rose, and I believe the most memorable stays are created through more than beautiful spaces, they are created through feeling.

For me, hosting is about creating moments of connection, calm and belonging.

Grasslands is a reflection of everything I love: timeless interiors, natural beauty, thoughtful details and bringing people together.

I’m excited to share the story behind Grasslands, the journey ahead, and the next chapter of creating spaces that feel truly special. 🤍
