A Sunflower Stop Backpackers
We are a small hostel where volunteers can interact with our guests on a more personal level. We have been here for just over 2 decades, growing the family of our return guests from all over the world. Big enough for a vibe, small enough to care.
We started A Sunflower Stop from scratch over 20 years ago. Our staff and guests are our extended family. Volunteers will become one of the family, working at our bar or tending to our Housekeeping. Filter coffee, laundry and unlimited Wi-Fi are all included.

Volunteering as a bartender at Sunflower Stop was an amazing experience! The team was incredibly friendly and supportive — it truly felt like being part of a little family. I met so many interesting and kind guests from all around the world, and the atmosphere was always warm, fun, and full of good energy.
The work itself was not difficult and actually very enjoyable. I was clearly instructed and felt supported every step of the way, which made the experience smooth and stress-free.
It was an absolute pleasure to volunteer at this place, and I would gladly come back again in the future!

The host is nice, he’s especially laid-back, doesn’t stress easily, and passes that calm energy on to the volunteers. Mistakes can happen and are solved together, it’s not a big deal. He mostly lets you do your own thing and definitely doesn’t micromanage. If you’re looking to find your own rhythm, this is the perfect host.

My time at Sunflower was truly amazing and I had a lot of fun at the bar playing card games, you just have to be aware that some people like to cheat hahah
I met a lot of lovely people from all over the world and created good friendships.
The work is easy and a lot of fun, the cash up in the morning can also be fun once you get the hang of it. I shared my room with Juliana and we harmonized perfectly and created a special bond! It was also nice to be your own DJ at the bar and Saturday’s Braii night was always a good time. The team is amazing and I would love to come back!

My experience at Sunflower was unforgettable! From the very beginning, I was warmly welcomed by the team, who were always ready to clarify any doubts I had. I am immensely grateful for how they made me feel like part of a big family. The place is impeccably clean and organized, providing a true sense of comfort. Having four days off was wonderful, allowing me to explore extensively. The activities were light and uncomplicated, which also gave me the opportunity to practice English with people from around the world. I truly enjoyed my time and eagerly look forward to returning!
