Bendigo Sustainable House Day - Sanctuary Cottage

We have a second home showing as well for Sustainable House Day on Saturday 23rd of August, in the Wellsford State Forest. See our other events for more info!

Come along and learn how to upgrade your home or build a new sustainable house with the inspiration of this beautiful mudbrick home, built by Yvonne George over 40 years ago, nestled in the Welsford forest.

We will share knowledge and experiences in this wonderful example of how humble sustainability, comfort, and creativity can come together. As part of the visit, the flourishing garden rich in biodiversity thrives alongside smart design, discovering practical ways to sustainable living within the forest.

Whether you're renovating, building, or just curious about greener living, you'll find plenty of inspiration here. You’ll also have the chance to meet like-minded people, ask questions, and connect with those passionate about sustainable homes, energy efficiency, and living lighter on the land.

Exact location will be provided after purchasing the tickets, respecting the homeowner privacy.

Spaces are limited – book your tickets and come be part of the change!
