North Haven in Ballarat North will be open on Saturday 31 January and Sunday 1 February 2026.

North Haven is a secluded, design-led family garden created by landscape designer Paddy Milne (The Scape Artist) over nearly a decade. Visitors enter through stone pillars and a bespoke Oregon timber gate into a calm, private sanctuary.

The north-facing courtyard offers lush planting, a built-in daybed and a wood-fired pizza oven, while the raised semi-circular lawn at the rear provides space for play and relaxation.

With a developing canopy and layered planting throughout, North Haven is a garden where strong structure meets soft, immersive planting — a true suburban retreat.

There will be a coffee cart at this opening and some of the proceeds from this opening will be donated to WRISC – Family Violence Support Inc.

Where: 13 Loren Close, Ballarat North VIC 3350
Times: Open 10-4.30pm
Entry: $10 Adults/$6 Students (with a valid student card)/Under 18 or students with an annual OGV Student Pass (with ID) – Free via Trybooking.
