Pilgrim Hill exists to make disciples for Jesus through hospitality and art. We operate a hostel for travellers, a yearly arts festival, and (coming soon) residencies for artists in the beautiful Huon Valley of far south Tasmania, Australia.

Through these, our non-profit association seeks to transform lives by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus and modelling the integrated life of God’s Kingdom.

The above video is some years old, before building began, but wonderfully captures the heart of the ministry.

The Hostel

Pilgrim Hill is an off-grid, family-run, Christian hostel in the hills of Tasmania’s Huon Valley, surrounded by a patchwork of heritage orchards and native bushland. We currently host up to 15 guests a night on our 26-acre hilltop property full of amazing Australian wildlife.

Three times a week, we share a meal and a Bible discussion with travelers from all over the world. In our six years of operation, we’ve hosted nearly 350 guests from 38 countries, most of them non-Christian University graduates from Europe and Asia who stay for months on working-holiday visas doing orchard work in exchange for an extra year in Australia.

We offer our guests a home — a place to lay down their packs and learn about the love of our awesome God. From our five-star reviews, our travelers deeply connect to the care they receive here. But even better, we love when people come closed and leave open to the Good News.

Our prayer is that every guest who comes through Pilgrim Hill would meet Jesus and leave with a taste for what is true — to take with them on their travels wherever God leads.

The Arts

Pilgrim Artists is our initiative for Christians in the arts, connecting and encouraging creatives in the use of our gifts. Since 2016, we have run a yearly festival of visual art, music, and words in the Huon Valley. Starting in 2025, we will be adding artists residencies at Pilgrim Hill, where skilled artists, writers, or musicians will join in the life of the hostel and have the use of our newly built workshop to explore the intersection of art and faith.

In the Press

Why Should Art Matter to People? It Matters to God: The Gospel Coalition explored our Pilgrim Artists initiative, emphasising the importance of art in faith and how creativity plays a crucial role in expressing and exploring belief.

At Pilgrim Hill, we are committed to making disciples for Jesus by sharing His love through hospitality and the arts. Nestled in the breathtaking Huon Valley of far south Tasmania, Australia, we provide a sanctuary for travelers through our hostel, inspire creativity through our yearly arts festival, and will soon offer residencies for artists seeking to grow in their faith and craft.

Our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus and model the integrated life of God’s Kingdom, transforming lives one encounter at a time. However, we need your help to continue this vital work.

  • The Great Hall and Great Room for gatherings, fellowship, and community events.
  • Dorm 3 to further expand our capacity.
