Set on 23 acres in the lush Otways in Forrest, our off-grid property offers a peaceful bush setting with open pasture, a large dam and established gardens. We’re building a small, sustainable farm with a focus on practical skills, simple living and connection to nature. Close to mountain biking trails, waterfalls and the Great Ocean Road, it’s a beautiful base to explore the region while contributing to a meaningful project.
We joined WWOOF to connect with people who are interested in simple, sustainable living and to share the experience of building a small off-grid property in the Otways. For us, it’s not just about getting help—it’s about the exchange of skills, ideas and perspectives.
We’re in the process of developing our land into a productive and enjoyable space, and we value the energy and fresh thinking that WWOOFers bring. At the same time, we hope to offer a meaningful experience—learning practical skills, spending time in nature, and getting a feel for a different way of living.
We enjoy creating a relaxed, welcoming environment where people feel included, contribute in a real way, and leave with both new skills and good memories
Organic/Biological methods we use
We aim to follow low-impact, sustainable practices as we develop the property. This includes composting, mulching, minimal chemical use, and improving soil health through natural methods. We are building our gardens using organic principles and focusing on water conservation through tanks and dam use.
We’re not a certified organic farm, but we prioritise working with nature—encouraging biodiversity, reducing waste, and making thoughtful, long-term improvements to the land. As the property evolves, we’re continuing to learn and experiment with regenerative and permaculture-inspired approaches.
