The Experience

We're looking for a volunteer to help clean, do housekeeping & general maintenance and possible gardening on our quieter days in exchange for accommodation. We also cook pancakes each morning for our guests. This role is generally 2-3 hours per day, 6 days a week. Sometimes you may work a little over 3hours & other days you will work less. Our hostel has a friendly, chilled out vibe and is close to town, beautiful beaches & the Koala Hospital.

This hostel will feel like a home within hours of you being there! The team is so friendly and they make you feel so welcome. The work is very reasonable and you normally finish before midday, giving you time to socialise, explore the town or work if you need to. I loved the hostel so much i decided to stay after my volunteer work finished and was lucky enough to get a job on reception. It was also easy to get a job in town if you need to work while volunteering. I would highly, highly recommend this experience to a backpacker who is looking to meet lots of new friends and have lots of fun.

Great place down in the hostel, I was fortunate to work with any awesome group of other volunteers, and the culture of the hostel was super welcoming from the start. Super simple morning work gives you tons of time to hit the beach & explore. Ben & Monsy definitely have their hostel under control

This hostel is very homey and the people are all very welcoming and friendly! There is a good mix of long term and short term guests so you can make a good friend group. The work is very chill and only in the morning so you have the whole afternoon to do what you want. I will miss all the people here very much!!

I had an amazing experience here! I loved it so much that I decided to stay an extra 3 months. The hosts are super welcoming, and the hostel truly feels like a home away from home. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun and chill place to stay!
