Pippa is very strict on what you can and can't do. the hostel is very small and not much to do. This experience was not for me.

I'm not sure what Annika was expecting. If the experience was not for her why did she stay so long? Annika could have left at anytime. We have very specific cleaning protocols, apart from those, all volunteers are expected to treat paying guests with respect and also be considerate when using the shared facilities. There is plenty to do in Geraldton if you want to explore. We have fabulous Museums, Art Galleries, Theatres, and a Cinema. At the back of the hostel we have 3 fabulous beaches, and kilometres of beautiful walking tracks. There are 11 attractions within walking distance of the hostel. If you want to find something to do, you can.

Pippa was very welcoming and it's 3-4 hours of work a day (cleaning the rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen). Roughly a 3 hour shift in the morning cleaning the rooms and then about an hour every other night to clean the kitchen. The location is great (right the hostel beach) but be prepared that there isn't much to do in the hostel. Also be aware that the day you arrive will count as a day off so I only ended up having two proper days off in my three weeks (the hostel day I arrived I had over an hour showing me around/going through expectations and then over an hour being trained and cleaning the kitchen).

Really clean and nice hostel. You clean twice a day (at 10 am and again at 8 pm most nights) it kinda break up the day so you don't have much time to explore. the hostel is a quiet town especially with no car. The hostel is also very quiet and doesn't have a lot of the hostel

Sophia only stayed 12 days, so she didn't get to experience the hostel when it is busy. Our hostel is located in the centre of the city and is walking distance to 12 attractions, also walking distance to many cafes and restaurants. The beach is at the back door.

I had an absolutely fantastic and fulfilling time at the hostel and I cannot describe enough in words how kind and generous my hosts were! I also felt very safe and comfortable living there as the hostel is really clean, organized and has good security. Pippa gives clear instructions and helpful guidance, and sets out reasonable expectations. On your end as a volunteer, you do have to put in good effort and honest work to help out with the upkeeping of the hostel but never did I once feel that the tasks were overly demanding or difficult, even if there might have been busier days!

Expérience très agréable ! Je me suis sentie un peu comme dans une petite famille avec les autres volontaires. Certaines règles peuvent paraître un peu rudes parfois mais contribuent à la tranquillitée de l'établissement. Bon endroit pour une première expérience australienne et améliorer son anglais. A very pleasant experience! I felt a bit like I was part of a small family with the other volunteers. Some of the rules can seem a little harsh at times, but they contribute to the tranquility of the facility. A good place for a first Australian experience and to improve your English.
