Small farm on Phillip Island, 2 hours from Melbourne

David and Bhavani were incredibly welcoming and informative throughout my stay. The highlight was the day after I arrived, when I joined a landcare activity planting trees for their neighbor. It was a meaningful experience—I learned about planting, had engaging conversations about plants and sustainability with community members, and ended the day with the best grilled beef. The work was flexible and clearly communicated. I loved feeding the chickens, spending time with the alpacas, and watching stunning sunsets from the nearby beach.

Bhavani and David are such kind and caring people! They're also very flexible with the working hours, making it possible for me to experience the Island Whale Festival and get to see many an attraction around the island! I totally enjoyed the variety of jobs on the farm, such as weeding, checking in on the chooks and alpacas and continuing the decking project that David and Igor started. The work was well explained, and I get to learn lots of new skills. The caravan was cosy and well in contact with nature. All in all, I totally enjoyed the island, life on the farm and the best chai tea ever!

David and Bhavani made me feel at home from the start! They're simply amazing! We enjoyed many activities together, from dinners in the garden to tours around the island. I learned a lot about various sustainable practices, and the caravan is a very cozy place to stay—I loved being part of the deck construction! Thank you for everything, and I highly recommend it to other Worldpackers.

Bhavani and David are such genuine and kind people who truly made me feel at home! The entire family was so open and welcoming and showed me how beautiful island life is! the farm is truly passionate about sustainability, protecting the environment and always improving. The work was fair, therapeutic, and very rewarding! I learned so much and have so many new ideas to take home and incorporate into everyday living! The caravan was perfect after a day in the sun very comfortable and shaded with a tap nearby. I enjoyed every second I spent on the farm and know you all will to!

David and Bhavani are one of the dearest and most committed people we know. They showed us so much of their island that we felt like we belonged there. The work was also fun and was never too much to ask. We definitely recommend it.

Thank you to Bhavani and David for hosting me at your farm on Phillip Island. I learnt a lot during my stay - permaculture, living off-grid and the surrounding natural environment. There are plenty of options when it comes to working - all tasks are fully explained and well-equipped. Also, there are many tourist attractions to visit on days off and the is beach a short cycle/walk. You will have an amazing time here!

The entire family was very welcoming and inclusive, making me feel at home from day 1. The caravan I stayed in was lovely, and the location was beautiful. The work was tough but rewarding, and I learned useful skills that I see myself using in the future. Their self-sustaining farm, and genuine care for the land and its life, are truly remarkable, deserving of more plaudits than I can express. Thank you once again for the silver beet (and everything else!), and I will definitely be returning 😊

This was a great experience, perfect if you want to get away from the city and meet locals on the island. Bhavani and David are very kind and made me feel at home. The work is fun as there is a large variety of jobs to be done, with enough freedom to see the wonders of the island.
