Yama Ki Farm

Yama Ki is set on 54 acres of native farmland bush. Our beautiful property is forested with stringy bark eucalyptus trees, mountain ash trees and tree ferns.

Yama Ki is nestled in the Yarra Valley mountain forest, only 1.5 hrs from Melbourne, and features self contained cottages, nourishing shiatsu massage treatments, and workshops/retreats. We are nestled in the hills of Don Valley, 1.5 hours from Melbourne, 10 minutes from Healesville Sanctuary, right on the doorstep of the Yarra Valley winery region. The natural environment attracts an abundance of

Australian wildlife including wombats, wallabies, king parrots, and lyrebirds. We enjoy fresh mountain spring water and clean country air. We are a farm with over 600 organic hazelnut trees and various kitchen garden veggie patches. With self-contained farm cottages on the property, we have accommodation to suit everyone, whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, family holiday, or relaxed time with friends.

We welcome winter at Yama ki. It’s a beautiful time to fill your lungs with fresh mountain air, connect with the forest, and snuggle by the fire with a cup of Calmer Chai • Sticky Chai.

Even better is to spend a whole weekend this August 14-16th with like souled woman to gather, create, reflect and reconnect in our upcoming “Homecoming woman’s retreat”.

Our friend Emma, who’s an integrative counsellor and primary therapist, will be facilitating through therapeutic conversations, storytelling, weaving and clay work, and you can expect yummy home cooked seasonal meals by Phuong.

This is an invitation to slow down, gather in circle, around fire, and return to stories carried within.

Burdock (gobo) harvesting time! It’s a big effort to dig out the roots, scrub, peel, slice and dehydrate for 10hrs… but the medicinal benefits and delicious earthy taste is well worth it! We dry it to use throughout the winter/spring, mostly enjoyed in a nourishing miso veggie soup and we look forward to sharing homegrown gobo in our upcoming retreats.

Misty mornings, searching for marshmallow sticks, and forest walks.

Beautiful images captured from recent guests.

There is still some availability over December / January school holidays if your family needs some fresh forest air in between the summer busyness and festivities

Japanese soul food - thanks to and for a soul nourishing miso lunch with our permaculture community.

Tomi prepared so many dishes to inspire our miso cooking at home and we all felt full in our hearts, belly and soul.

If you’re interested in learning how to make miso, join us on Sunday 19th June for a 3hr hands on miso making workshop. We will prepare miso from scratch, you’ll have your own jar of miso to take home, and we will also enjoy a wholesome macrobiotic miso soup lunch.

“Fantastic place, in a great location with lovely hosts! The farm house is clean and bright, with a great kitchen and cosy fireplace. Phone / date signal is almost zero, but it’s great to get off the grid for a bit! Highly recommended”.

Review from a family of 3 enjoying quality time together at the farm house.

Due to recent rescheduling, the farm house is now available this weekend. Who’s ready to drop into the calm and serenity of the forest 🌳 and mountain 🏔

Yarra valley locals - Come get these freshly dug Oca yam beauties today at our wonderful local market .
We love these simply roasted in the oven, tastes like a lemony potato chip, perfect for this crisp cold weather

Solitude - finding time away to be by yourself, without distractions or pressure to do anything, and to come back to your true self.

This has been the theme for our last few guests at fern lee cottage. Taking a few days out, alone, nestled in the forest, drinking cups of tea, sitting by the fire, and enjoying quiet time.

Do you need some ‘me’ time? Fern lee cottage is available this weekend for that much needed rejuvenation.

Winter wonderland at mt Donna buang. There’s something special about snow amongst the forest and tree ferns that makes your heart beat faster with excitement and brings a smile to your soul.

It’s looking like a deep winter this year so we are expecting plenty more snow play days at mt Donna buang, an easy day trip outing from your cosy forest stay at Yama ki.
We have spare toboggans for guests to borrow, so pack your winter woolies and bring that childish playfulness with you
