The two weeks I spent in Maleny were amazing. I was helping with various jobs such as weeding, painting, and nailing. The working time is 25 hours per week, and you can manage it by yourself. I had plenty of time to enjoy walking around the pretty town, going to the events in the neighborhood, and lighting a fire in the fireplace inside and

Andrew contacted me before arriving in Maleny and gave me detailed information on how to get to the eco village, which reduced my anxiety about traveling. Andrew is open-minded to new people, cultures and ideas. I'm sure anyone can be a part of the community and enjoy the process of building the community.
Thank you so much, Andrew and everyone who have spent time with me, for this unforgettable experience.
I stayed at the eco village for 10 days and I really enjoyed my time there and had fun! Andrew is such a lovely person and I learned new skills and knowledges about permacolture, community living and more. The place is peaceful and surrounded by nature so it's perfect to relax. I also enjoyed the game nights and partecipating to the community

I stayed with Andrew on the property at Maleny for a week. Andrew was very well organised with tasks that needed doing each day. I assisted with weeding and house painting. The principles of sustainability and low carbon footprint used on the property are a refreshing change from the surrounding urban planning. The property is in a beautiful

Yamile (Jamie) and her brother (Josiah) and mum, Veronica spent a week with us. They are an absolute delight. Curious to learn and interesting.
I’ll have them back if you can’t :)
The village is thoughtfully designed to blend with its surroundings while fostering connection within the community. The outdoor kitchen became a cozy gathering spot for shared meals and conversation, while the ecological toilet and outdoor shower brought us even closer to nature. These simple yet profound experiences gave us a sense of

We also learned valuable survival tips for living close to nature—stamping our feet to ward off snakes, shaking out shoes before putting them on, and checking for spiders in our bedding. Birds alerted us to the presence of snakes, and we gained a deeper appreciation for the trees and their role in regenerating the land and supporting ecosystems.
Thank you, Andrew, for welcoming our family into your wonderful community! This experience has opened our eyes to the beauty of living sustainably and the need to care for our planet in a meaningful way. Thank you for sharing this incredible journey with us.

Despite an extraordinary amount of rain it was an enriching experience being at the Eco-Village, There was a small but interesting mix of people (and visitors) which generated indepth discussions, fun games,varied jobs, musical evenings and some outings to town and local markets. I really valued immersion in Non-violent communication as it added a
… read more different perspective to my years of counselling. I appreciated that this communication was used when working on resolving differences in needs. It was also helpful in supporting personal growth. I felt very appreciated for jobs done and recognised for my creativity. Swimming in the dam was especially lovely. I was a bit dissapointed there was not a more active food garden/permaculture focus but certainly loved the bush regeneration and living in such a natural way. I was hugely impressed with the lack of waste and recycling. What a great example of how to walk lightly on the earth. Many thanks Andrew, Claire and Tammy for hosting me and the others that were there at the time.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I had such an amazing and fulfilling time at EVA! pen, jorg, claire, andrew, beans, and mischa were so warm and accomodating. I enjoyed a laid back week gardening, joining a work party, taking an edible weeds workshop where i later gathered chickweed and made pesto! I also came at a time when Andrew & Claire were campaigning for the Greens which

We enjoyed communal dinners and games and they were always open to discuss any topic and answer any questions i had about the eco village. I thought volunteerinf ar an up and coming eco village in its beginning stages provided a very informative perspective on what it is like to get the ball up and running. We were ablw to visit crystal waters and i fell in love woth the beautiful town of Maleny. The week provided me with an unknown at the time, but completely vital reset to my life. I cannot wait to come back and help out again as well as catch up with these amazing souls. Thank you so much for having me - i will always treasure my time spent with you in Maleny!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

It was a great pleasure to stay at the ecovillage in Maleny and to find out more about the ins and outs of living in a community. The people are wonderful and very open to share openly about their experiences. Thanks to the work party, we get as well to meet new people that are interested in community living too. Looking forward to visit you

I had an amazing time and the best experience with everyone at the eco village! I stayed for 2 weeks and felt welcome and comfortable straight away. I did some gardening, weeding, painting, learnt about sustainable living and permaculture (there is soo much to learn) and also enjoyed my spare time, very beautiful place. It really is a wonderful,

Communication and food was great, accom can be flexible, I was provided with a bed and my own space, simple and comfortable, work was good and interesting and easy to discuss different things to do and times/days etc. Highly recommend and will definitely visit again when I can!
Thank you again Claire, Andrew, Mischa, Pen and Joerg!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Claire & Andrew are very welcoming and inclusive. They offered to join to their group's activities happening while the week I was there. We were 2 "on-site" volunteers and much more come and goes into the action through the week!
They let you choose which task would suit you best from your skill and they are happy to share their knowledge of the

We all shared the meal preparation, cooking and cleaning rotation, time to time.
The garden is harsvesting some fresh goodies and more to come.
I am amazed how dedicated Claire & Andrew are about their eco-village and all the steps they made so far in a first 6 months !!!
I am gonna be back again for more help and good people connection, for sure I recommand to experience it yourself too!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Thank you Claire and Andrew for the wonderful experience of living in a eco village. This 2 1/2 weeks were definitely enriching, learning all sorts of things. But not only that, you gave me the opportunity to learn about eco village and see from firsthand how it works to live in community, and it's incredibly fun and amusing! I enjoyed every meal

Andrew and Claire have the brightest hearts, we stayed a short 3 nights in their cozy tent but learned a huge amount from them about living sustainably, educating others and building community. There was nothing but positivity on the eco village and at no points did we feel anything but comfortable. Andrew and Claire, alongside what they’re doing

The Kindness of Andrew and Claire's smile will make you feel very welcome.
I spend 2 weeks in october at the Eco village. I build a few little things and learn to use a few tools. I was sleeping in a tent with a good bed matress. It was fun to be outdoor and surrendent by the birds, bat and weather. Beeing in a tent was more intresting and

I recommend to go help them. If you have specials skills like to build anything use it. They need specificate skills for specificate task and job. The place is close from town (12 mins walk) through a very cute mini forest along the river. Maleny is a cute Hippie vibe town. People there are smiling, kind, social and they have cool style ! There is a very good organic coffee place. There is a tatoo in town. it is around 20-30 minutes away drive from very beautiful beaches !! :D
I had a very lovely time there I miss the place and I met very good people .Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
