The HH Team

Meet the HH team.

 

We’re a rather attractive crew of momagers, Agadors, Riff Raffs and Nileses with a broad set of skills and an a less-broad range of queer aesthetics.

Some of us are also for hire! Services and contact details are in our bios.

Freelance life is hard; pay a Butler today.

Gala Vanting

Founder and Director
Resident Educator, Gadigal House

Momager to the Houses, their sweet sweet crews, and the odd errant guest, Gala brings two decades of experience in the adult industry, a failed NFP middle-management career, and Medium Dominatrix Energy to her role as HH’s Founder and Director. Award-winning erotic filmmaker, BDSM service provider, sex worker rights advocate, sex educator, and general all-rounder in the sexuality field, the creation and ongoing stewardship of Hedon House is the natural confluence of her passion, experience and wildest dreams.

In addition to her gig as HH’s mum, Gala offers consulting services for those interested in any of the above, as well as a range of ancillary in-person services for guests of Hedon House.

Capricorn sun, Virgo rising, Taurus moon, you’ll find her perfectly suited to the administration and execution of hedonistic activities.

She can be reached on gala at galavanting dot info.

Luka

OG Butler, Gadigal House

Luka has been with HH since inception and has ushered out a great many wrongs from our Sydney location. He was a Butler before Butlers even knew Buttling. Luka is the surliest and most unimpressed member of the Butler team and holds down the Gadigal House (and several other houses in his sphere of influence) with a handygay skillset built over years of being endlessly fucking helpful. The kind of resourceful that Niles couldn’t even.

Amos

Butler, Gadigal House

Femmy-faggy butch dyke with a penchant for servicing, Bunnings, vetiver, and dreaming about liberatory futures. Outside of butlering, Amos is training in trans voice therapy, and enjoys leatherwork, glass work and using their hands. A handy queer with skills, a knack for beautiful things, and a touch of decadence.

They’ve got a big van and a strong back—perfect for moving house or collecting your latest Rough Trade. Need something fixed? They work with leather, wood, and glass, so whether it’s a DIY project or a small repair, they can help. Want something crafted? They make bespoke silver chainwork, the kind that feels as good as it looks.

Need sharp eyes on your academic writing? With three degrees and an editor’s precision, they’ll make your words sing. They also model, and can assist when you need a life model or someone for your next photoshoot.

They are also available for housework and service — whether you need a thorough clean or reliable haus boi. If you’re after something truly indulgent, they offer a luxury day spa service: let them elevate your bath time with curated platters, drinks, and attentive care.

Oh, and if any pro doms out there need an assistant…

Slide into Amos’ DMs

Fifi

Butler, Gadigal House

Part transfag witch, part forest fairy, part dancefloor rat, Fifi adores being your butler. Tending to Hedon House brings them a lot of joy. The House has also brought Fifi a lot of personal healing, and they are a huge fan of the sling and the outdoor baths – I mean how can you not be?

When they aren’t cleaning up after your fun, Fifi is generally reading, making art, cooking, playing guitar, going for bike rides, at the nudie beach, or in the bush somewhere revelling over moss.

Fifi loves a random job medley, and is a pixie of many trades. They offer home cleaning/gardening services, both PG and R rated. Have a fantasy of a trannyfag maid polishing your glassware? Get in touch! Before working as a butler, Fifi spent over a decade working in kitchens and continues to enjoy cooking and baking for folks. Did someone say private vegan brunch chef as an add on to your stay, bringing you tasty offerings in the outdoor baths? Seriously, think about it.

They are also a hand-poke tattoo artist – check out their work at @softmoth.pokes.

Any of these services sound appealing? Or maybe a combo? Or maybe you have a semi-adjacent vision? Fifi is wide open to many things. Get in touch via email maxiepadking@gmail.com.

Helio

Butler, Naarm House

Helio is a hot boi from Bundjalung, who’s having fun living under late-stage capitalism with disability. They love walks on the Merri Creek and fresh herbs in their bath water. Published author and ethereal poet, Helio is both a bona fide and bone-able king for harm reduction, disability justice, mad pride, and ranting about how everything is trans. They’re an angel, an advocate, an autist and an artist – they’re an intertemporal alien’s mushroom fever dream! Helio enjoys cleaning up smutty filth at Hedon House and being of humble service to their queer community.

Be nice to our team.

In service industries, the people delivering services often get anonymised, looked down upon, or expected to grovel. Many folks are socialised to treat hospitality labourers as subservient, stripping them of dignity and identity. Whilst in the context of a BDSM playspace it can be appealing to look upon our team as service bottoms or submissives, we’re actually workers, and we haven’t agreed to submit to you. If you treat our team this way, we will refuse service. 

Here are some ways you can honour and respect the work of our people:

Follow the instructions we give you, particualrly in the way you use and leave the House.

Respond to our communications in a timely way. We love to help you, but we can’t be pulling all the weight.

Pay on time, or communicate if you can’t.

Communicate with us when something goes wrong. Don’t hide it or ghost us.

Take the time go get to know what we’re about. We set the culture, and you’re welcomed in to enjoy all that it enables.
