Short Property Description
Come to Kongwak, the ‘Valley of Peace’, where over the last 20 years I have created a thriving permaculture garden on less than 2 acres, which provides our family & local community with fresh, organic produce & plants. I have also set up a small nursery In our little town, where we propagate & sell a range of native, indigenous, permaculture & edible plants & produce. The nursery is based at the popular Kongwak Market, where I have also established a community garden called the Secret Garden, where I run regular workshops about permaculture, composting, medicinal plants etc.
Kongwak is a beautiful little village in the heart of South Gippsland, only 15mins from Korumburra, Wonthaggi, Inverloch & lovely beaches. We are about half an hour to Phiilip Island & one & half hours to magnificent Wilson’s Promontory.
We can provide accomodation in our house to singles, couples or small groups of friends. We currently don’t have any pets except chickens. Short & long term stays welcome!

Why I became a WWOOF Host
Since first learning about permaculture & doing a PDC over 15 years ago, I have loved the idea of WWOOFing! I have been a WWOOF host for over 10 years, but took a break during the last couple of years. My son (now 14 yo) & I have hosted many WWOOFers over the years & we really enjoy sharing our home & lifestyle with travellers from around the world. We especially enjoy the cultural exchange of learning about other countries, languages, food etc. We also love showing our visitors the local area & other tourist attractions! I am passionate about teaching permaculture & other organic practices as well as inspiring others to live a more simple lifestyle in harmony with mother nature!
