I loved this place so much. I met the most amazing and fun people here. If I didn't make any plans for after this volunteer I would have definitely stayed. Dom and Wes really made this place a loving home for me and all the other guest. If you want to get back to nature and connect and relax this is the right place to be. Thank you for everyone at the hostel and you will see me back soon!!🫶🏻🫶🏻

I loved staying at the hostel! Everybody was so kind, the people running the place as well as the locals. Working was super fun and easy. Everybody was welcoming and easy to get along with. The nature and scenery is beautiful, a lot of fun things to do around the area and the people in wilderness are also very kind.

Volunteering at the hostel has been a very special experience. The nature is beautiful and there is lots to see and do around the area. It can be hard to get around if you don't have a car, but you can always ask for a lift. The people at the hostel are wonderful and welcoming, they will make sure you have a great time. The work is easy and fun once you get into it. It can be slow sometimes but it's always busy with locals on open mic night and when there are bands playing. It was really cool to get to know all of the locals and get to immerse myself into their culture! Will definitely come back!
