My time at the hostelwas the highlight of my year. Everyone I worked with was incredible and really made it feel like home. The work is easy with a good mix of different shifts and the management is super lovely and understanding. Such a beautiful place, I couldn't recommend it more to others looking for a fun time in the highlands.

The hostelSide was genuinely the best experience I've ever had at athethe hostel. It was so incredibly fun and the people and staff are just amazing. You get to be in one of the most gorgeous places, with mountains and lakes and small quaint towns. You get to spend your days hiking, kayaking, playing pool, cooking and hanging out. The work is explained upfront and incredibly fair. The hours are respected. If I could have stayed longer I would have in a heartbeat! Thank you guys for an amazing stay! :)

The hostelis an amazing experience. Volunteering here is like hanging out with all your mates in a cabin in the woods, but with electricity, hot showers and Tesco delivery. Shifts are relaxed and you will never be bored because volunteers are always around to hang out. Thethethe the hostelis somewhat isolated and transport is limited (you get your groceries through Tesco delivery), so bring a willingness to make your own fun, for example scrapbooking, baking, kayaking on thethe hostel, and rambling through the local bushland. I had so much fun, I don't think there's any place quite like it.
