Grab a coffee at the shop, and learn in a peaceful, natural environment about thousands of years of history, culture, and steps toward reconciliation. Two hours goes by quickly, visiting a few different locations. We enjoyed the eel charcuterie afterwards!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you, Pat S, for taking the time to write a review. We are glad that you enjoyed your time with us and the coffee.

Eel samples

Kerry_P, Jun 2024

It would have been nice to have received a recommendation to do an eel sample which we heard about by reading the reviews today. We came a long way to have a genuine experience and it doesn’t measure up in value to what’s on offer elsewhere around Australia.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

I am sorry to hear that you didnt love the experience and that you were not aware of what was on offer. We do our best to try and make people aware of what is on offer through our website and the agents that sell our tours.

Fantastic

Knowledge of the guide, respect for culture. Sensitivity of infrastructure and main building design.

Hi Merril, we're so pleased that you appreciated our infrastructure, and the knowledge of our GUnditjmara guide, and their sensitivity & respect for culture.
