The Experience
Living in the Famous West Kerry on the magnificent Dingle peninsula my passion is all about water sports especially surfing & foiling. I'm running a 13-bedroom hostel surrounded by 9 different beaches on a small peninsula including the wonderful long Brandon bay, the local area has lots to offer with beautiful landscape sand dunes and mountains, water sports & land activities, pubs, restaurants, hiking trails, all in walking distance of the lodge

My stay at the lodge was lovely ! I had great time hiking around, hitch-hiking to Dingle but also taking runs around the peninsula which is just gorgeous (when the weather is good). I also enjoyed going to the free surf lessons, playing volley-ball in the backyard or exploring the islands with Duncan on the boat. Duncan is very cool and flexible concerning work hours. The lodge is a bit remote (from cities like Tralee or Dingle) but you can shop at Castlegreogry (about 5 km) and easily find someone (guests or Duncan) to give you a lift ! If you like the surf vibe this place is for you !

I loved my time volunteering here. The work tasks were simple, just a good bit of cleaning and housekeeping. Duncan and Leslie are amazing hosts, so kind and welcoming and fun to hang around. The people living in the lodge are amazing as well! Really friendly, open, and eager to include you in activities and exploring. The maharees are absolutely stunning. If you like nature, surfing/hiking, and want to learn to build your social skills, I highly recommend this place! I will miss it so much. 😌

This was such a wonderful place to live and work. I had the best time meeting new people who were both visiting and living at the lodge. Duncan is kind and fun and an absolutely awesome surf instructor! It took some adjusting time at first because it's a really close-knit group, but once I got settled I felt like such a part of it:) I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to be in a lowkey environment and spend time with great people.

I had a lot of fun. Everyone was super friendly and Duncan was an excellent host. I don't speak very fluent english and everyone was kind and patient. I also learned how to surf!! I highly recommend this experience.

Volunteering at the lodge is easy once you get the rhythm of the house. The working hours are fair and respected, you get many benefits such as surfing, water trampoline and other watersports. You can travel around the area and visit small towns (a must!) like Dingle, Killarney, Brandon. If you want to connect with nature, you're in the right place! You also get to experience what it is like living in a small community; bonfires, local parties, pubs and hanging out w/ the people at the lodge which can be real craic! I enjoyed connecting with locals and experiencing the Irish culture :))))
