Jim Matan & Cynamon Aeria
Matan’s Lodge is a mixture of art, fun, beach & gardens in a permaculture setting, halfway between Margaret River and the beach. Artists & visitors stay here to enjoy the chance to create, exhibit & reconnect to nature. Non-artists who stay with us, help with the running of the place and often discover their own mediums of expression.
Volunteering is varied and includes gardening, help with art installations, landscaping, help with maintenance of hobby farm and Gallery. Fun & creativity are the essentials… and many have called it the ‘perfect lifestyle’.
