The Center was an incredible experience! This was my first Worldpackers volunteering trip, and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. Sanjay was a fantastic host, and the fellow volunteers were incredibly welcoming, they made me feel right at home. The amenities are great, and one of the highlights is being able to join classes once you've finished your work for the day. 10/10—I can't wait to go back!!!!

This was my 19th worldpackers experience and it was among the best!! Sanjay, Patty, Koto and Troy are an amazing staff and the volunteers they accept there are amazing. It is such an inclusive environment!! The work was not difficult, the opportunity to learn different yoga styles and healing techniques were available every day. Lots of delicious food!! If you go with a good attitude, you will have an amazing time. The evenings are also loads of fun, whether you just want to relax and meditate, or play volleyball, pickleball or play card and board games, whatever your speed, you can do it!!

This was such a special experience. There's a really unique sense of community here. Everyone contributes to a supportive, open, and genuinely welcoming environment. There's so much to enjoy, yoga classes, sound baths, unique workshops, volleyball, pool & spa, movie nights, and plenty of space to explore hobbies and connect with really interesting people. It's a great balance of social and restorative. The work is still work, of course. I mainly did housekeeping, which was straightforward and followed a clear, organized system, making it easy to stay on track.

I enjoyed my time at Swami’s immensely! This was my first Worldpackers experience & the bar has been set very high. The location is remote enough to enjoy the bush-life, but within an hour drive into Sydney on your off days. The work was enjoyable & the work hours very fair. I enjoyed helping out in different areas of the retreat & learning new skills! I would recommend this place to anyone & genuinely look forward to coming back soon! Thank you to the entire team!! xxxxx

My experience at the Center was amazing, and something I will remember for a long time. The work was simple and clearly outlined. It was generally flexible too. I cooked less than I thought I was going to but that was ok, the housekeeping jobs were fine. But the real highlight here was the sense of community. Such a great bunch of people running the place and who were volunteering at the same time as me. The accommodation was cozy and the pool and spa was so nice to have. The classes were really good and it was so nice to join them when we could. Thank you everyone! ❤️

This is a great place to slow down, spend time in nature, and focus on yourself. You really learn how to live and collaborate within a community and work as a team.
One important thing to keep in mind is the arrival time. I strongly recommend arriving early due public transportation and because you will have to clean and organise your room. Accommodation is divided into two areas. One is very nice and recently renovated while the other could use a bit more care. We have a really lovey time here and we gonna miss starting the day with a walk to swamis rock and play volleyball after dinner.

I did my first ever volunteering at the Center - it was the start of my first 6 weeks in Australia and I could not have enjoyed it more. This place is about true community. If you want to learn about yourself, about others - this is the place to be. You get the chance to engage with fellow travelers, make true friends, host and attend workshops and classes. Days are filled with the best food, work, yoga, ceremonies etc. There are many the Center memories I will cherish forever. The housekeeping should not be underestimated so this is definitely not a place if you just want to chill. Namasté <3

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
