Introduction to wwoof..ing

wwoofas have been part of the conti tradition for well over 10 years now. We continue to offer travellers and others, the opportunity to join in our daily 'rigmarole' of fun and chaos. We swap about 4 hours per day of your precious input for accommodation and our vegan raw materials. Use of the Guest Kitchen is available for self catered meals; and usually 1 or more of our casual staff & guests is around to share some conversation during your stay. Accommodation is in a private bedroom.

Jobs often revolve around cleaning and home duties, with gardening, painting and building projects always there for the more skilled. On Saturdays we have our Gourmet Banquet, and your help with food prep is a chance to see how gourmet vegan foods evolve. Of course the better the food prep, the cleaner are the plates to wash afterwards!

Hepburn Springs is a beautiful area and has a lively and varied community. There is often a bike about, and good walking over the road in the Regional Park. You can also join in our yoga classes. The resident managers, Ostii and Zalan, have an appreciation of yoga and sustainability, some experience of worldly cultures, and enjoy the peaceful environment.

We accept most individual requests, and usually try to arrange for 2 people to be staying at the same time. Long term travellers have been known to prop for awhile and escape from the more hectic pace of life. This is a vegan sanctuary, however people of all persuasions are welcome to visit. We look forward to your phone call or you can contact us via the wwoof accommodation enquiry page on our Hepburn Retreat Centre website.
