Staying at the eco village was a surreal experience!! Rob, Rebe and dogs were the best hosts ever. They were so welcoming, kind and made me feel right at home. From the farm work to the turtle project the volunteer program was organised, interesting and rewarding. Rebe cooked the best meals ever!! And she delivered the most amazing yoga classes. The Spanish classes from Rob were very well delivered and the content was personalised to what we wanted to learn. Overall I would highly recommend staying at the eco village and can't wait to go back again.

I would do this experience all over again if I could. Rob and Rebe provide a fun, welcoming and enriching experience to their volunteers. They are really passionate about what they do and the social impacts it has. Overall, the friendships and learning skills I have learned are one of a kind and the farm is stunning.

The eco village is such a special place. I've learnt so much about sustainability, permaculture, wildlife conservation and improved many skills through fun and interesting work. Rob and Rebe are the most welcoming and friendly hosts and it really feels like staying with family (especially with the dogs too!) I couldn't have asked for a better volunteering experience and I wish I could have stayed longer.

I felt at home! I met beautiful people alongside my adventure, learned so much about farming, sustainability and wildlife and ate amazing meals. Rob and Rebe are caring kind hosts and are committed to making your time in their home as nice as theirs. I feel hugged by this experience and am filled with knowledge and immense gratitude as I left.

Staying at the eco village with Rebe, Rob and their dogs was one of the best experiences I've ever made! Living with the two of them truly felt like being part of a family. They'd always make sure you feel safe, comfortable and loved. From getting spanish lessons, about well considered and organized tasks for the volunteers to yoga pactices on the beach and daily jam-sessions in the kitchen everything including the vibe was awesome. Thank you guys for making me feel super home and learn so much about your culture, sustainable farming, turtles and also cooking 🫶🏼

The eco village was my first Worldpackers experience, and they truly set the bar so high! I had the best time learning about sustainable gardening, turtle conservation and more! I loved how much there was to do and enjoyed hanging out with the awesome hosts, Rob and Rebe, and my new friends from all around the world! Would come back in a heartbeat :)

A magical experience. Rob and Rebe lead the programme with genuine love, care and a drive to live sustainably with nature - regenerative farming, composting, producing fertiliser, cooking farm-to-table, conserving wildlife, even producing our own soap. The work was sometimes hard but I learnt a lot, and there's flexibility to focus on your speciality. The accomodation, food, yoga & Spanish classes were all wonderful. I felt part of a tight-knit group, cooking and eating meals communally, exploring the beaches, national parks and other activities like horse riding, volleyball, and badminton.

I realized that everyone who comes to this wonderful place comes for a different reason and it is the skills and charm of Rebe and Rob that make the stay special and different. delicious dishes, entertaining and challenging activities, all always accompanied by a good sense of humor and vibe. An incredible opportunity to learn, discover and enjoy. I felt at home and at the same time motivated every day to get out of my comfort zone

If there were 10 stars I would have entered them! It was a fantastic learning experience. I was there for 3 weeks in total. I learned so much about farm to table, how to recycle, the eco system, about the animals, the plants, Spanish lessons and much more. Rob has a lot of knowledge and is a great teacher with a lot of humour. Rebe is the best yoga teacher and cook the most delicious food. I loved the four dogs. The sunsets were amazing and i love the house, the beds were comfortable and i have never felt so at one with nature. Thank you so much for this incredibly unique experience. Big hug

Rebe, Rob and their lovely dogs made me feel at home immediately. Rob was very fast and clear in answering all my questions and he shares his knowledge with great passion. Rebe is an amazing cook, gives great yoga that will make you stronger and feel good after every session. They are easy to communicate with and will try to work with any feedback you give them! Know that it is a remote place and there is not alott to do around. But if you want to immerse with nature and have a family like experience then it is the place for you! It was a lott of fun and I am thankful for this experience:D
