Aldinga Arts EcoVillage Tours

Join a tour of the Aldinga Arts EcoVillage to coincide with Sustainable House Day!

Tickets are essential via the link.

Villagers will be your tour guides and lead you along the roads and main pathways around the residential areas. The focus will be on sharing information about the sustainable, efficient, climate ready (and beautiful) homes and common areas within the village. There is also an opportunity to tour the village farm and see more permaculture principles in action.

Some additional information on the village history, governance and community will be shared.

These are 2 hour walking tours: the first hour is through the residential section of the village and the second hour is on the village farm. The farm section is optional and you may finish the tour at this point.

Please note:

• These tours do not enter any village homes or private lots, however there is one home opening as part of Sustainable House Day - you can book for this via the SHD website. https://sustainablehouseday.com/

• These are two hour walking tours - especially for folks with young children, bringing a buggy/pusher and snacks might be a good idea.
