Come help us welcoming our guests :)
La experiencia
We mainly need volunteers welcoming and receiving travelers from all over the world: looking after their needs, checking in, serving drinks at the bar, making them a pizza in the wood fire oven, joining them on hikes, or just showing them around!
Enjoy your free time chilling around a bonfire, going for a surf, a hike, a swim at waterfalls, you name it! We offer many outdoor activities as well as nice locals. And who can say no to this view??

There is a Laundromat in the village where you can drop your washing and get it back same day washed and dry. This will be at your own expense. Or you can handwash here.

How to get here:
You can take a flight into George which is 25km from us and we will pick you up.
There are also bus options:
• Bazbus – a bus specifically for backpackers, more expensive, but more convenient and will drop you off right at our doorstep. You can use this “hop-on-hop-off – ticket” also if you want to travel the Garden Route on your off days. It is valid for one year.
• Intercape / Big Sky – stops Wilderness (Caltex Garage) where we will pick you up (+- 4km from us). It has another stop about 8km from us at the Sasol Garage.
Weather:
• Summer (November – March) 14 -32 degrees.
• Winter (April – October) 8 – 25 degrees.
It tends to rain sporadically throughout the year, so it’s good to bring a raincoat. Also, it can get chilly at night, so at least bring a light jacket, even for summer.

You get 30% discount on your drinks. When on duty, you may only drink from 21h00 even if guests buy you drinks.
