Garden Cottage is a comfortable one bedroom cottage and provides simple accommodation for one or two people.

The cottage is part of Sramana Raw Food Vegan Sanctuary, and located in a 1.5 acre tropical fruit tree garden that backs onto the rainforest, adjacent to the Barron River.

Garden Cottage services Sanctuary guests together with independent travellers seeking a short-term volunteer experience.

Kuranda Village can be readily accessed by bike, road or the railway walking track in less than an hour.

About

Following the closure of the adjacent Fairyland House Retreat Centre, the Sramana Sanctuary activities were relocated next door.

Garden Cottage was recently constructed to supplement the existing residence to allow guests and volunteers to continue to enjoy a back-to-nature experience in the peaceful garden surrounds.

The property has gradually improved over the last decade with the help of volunteers using vegaculture principles to plant a large variety of tropical fruit trees and other vegan-organically grown produce.

Guest and Volunteer tasks are varied and include basic gardening, building maintenance and odd-jobs around the site.

Venue

Garden Cottage is a self-contained light and bright three room building with direct garden access from each room. The Bedroom has twin single beds, and opens onto a small Lounge Room with a couch and chairs. The rooms share a common fan.

The large Guest Kitchen has a sink with hot and cold water, a refrigerator, a food cupboard, a food blender, and an eating area with table and chairs.

A separate Guest Bathroom facility is located to the rear of the main residence.

Food

Garden Cottage guests have access to a variety of greens and other produce from the garden. Guests and Volunteers can attend the various weekly markets on the Atherton Tablelands in addition to the weekend market at Rustys in Cairns.

Assistance with preparation and menu selections, together with access to a comprehensive library provide a basis for familiarity with the rawfood vegan way.

A food blender, juicer and dehydrator are available for preparation
