At Yabbiekayu we use local, organic food, and natural skin care products and furnishings wherever we can find them. Our garden has been designed as an edible landscape, filled with local fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs all used in our home kitchen.

We aim to protect and plant local trees and flora, encouraging birds, butterflies, lizards and other small animals to make Yabbiekayu their home. As you browse our sign-posted plants, you’ll find all sorts of familiar and unfamiliar things growing. Please don’t hesitate to ask our staff who – with a little notice – can serve your selection into a delicious soup, salad or tea.

We showcase the benefits of caring for the local environment through simple acts of cleaning up rubbish, careful replanting and nurture of local species, and reducing our impact through reduced waste and careful water use. All our buildings use recycled and sustainable materials and are based on eco-design principles using passive cooling and ceiling fans for your comfort.
