I wouldn't come back here, nor recommend this place to anyone. Positives; unlimited free food, beautiful location, free accom, deep in nature, flexible with hours (I was sick for the first 2.5 weeks and they allowed me to make up hours missed). Negatives; black mold EVERYWHERE, everyone was sick from it while I was there. The energy of this place is really strange, the majority of people here are very self centered and not looking to connect with volunteers. There is a ton of gossip, passive aggressiveness, & no structure whatsoever. Also there was a domestic incident between members. 2/10.

It is interesting to read this because you asked to extend your stay and we didnt accept your request as you did not have a good reputation for making any effort despite arriving sick.
2 other fantastic volunteers who helped with a market stall could not believe that you counted the hours at the market when they said you did not help.
It sounds like a vindictive review to me.

I truly loved staying in the Bellbunya Eco Community. All the members and volunteers were very kind, considerate, and I was able to connect with many wonderful people. I really enjoyed working in the garden and learning more about sustainability and permaculture. Of course, sometimes things don't run perfectly, but if you’re willing to contribute your part to improve things, you will have a fantastic time.

I have really enjoyed my time at Bellbunya and spending time with the group of people there , volunteers and community members alike! The work felt rewarding and fun, especially when working along side others and I really appreciated that you could take your own initiative and choose what you wanted to help with, to assist the community, depending on your preferences. The surrounding nature is beautiful and I have been able to go on day trips to noosa, do various hikes and see the eumundi markets, which I would definitely recommend!

I had a great time at bellbunya, the people are really welcoming and we did some great day trips to see the local area too. There was a variety of jobs to get stuck into, from working in the garden with June who taught us all about the different plants, to cleaning guest rooms with Emma, to organising and cleaning the community buildings. Everyone takes turns cooking for the community and dinner is shared every evening, other than that you can help yourself to food whenever you're hungry.

This is a beautiful place with a diversity of tasks including cleaning, gardening, and random upkeep/admin tasks! I really connected with the new community members and had lots of fun welcoming new volunteers and getting to work together! Bellbunya seems to be in a bit of a transitional period so I expect some improvements will be made to create a better vibe overall; but as a volunteer I had so much fun connecting with people from all over the world, taking every chance to go to the Eumundi markets and the beach, and learning alot from June in the garden! Would recommend for sure!
