We had a wonderful time here. The place is beautiful with lots of character and charm. We loved using the yoga shala in the mornings and going for a swim in the natural pool. The working hours were fair, well-organized, and spread out across the day in small, manageable bits. Most of our work involved cleaning and helping out in the kitchen, which was actually really enjoyable. Rob and Pam are incredibly generous and kind people who genuinely want you to have a good experience. They're easy to talk to, great company, and make the whole stay feel welcoming and relaxed.

My GF and I had an amazing experience with the Center, Rob and Pam were very welcoming and friendly and made us feel super comfortable! The work and hours were very relaxed and was really nice to get stuck in the kitchen with Rob, the area is far from the town but reachable by bike for a little day trip if wanted, But the Center its self is great for having a nice laid back experience on your time off, highly recommend!

Hey Morgan, we are glad you had a good experience with us. You worked well with your GF and solo. It was so handy having your carpenry skills and all the maintenance/garden jobs too. Also you have picked up kitchen and hospitality skills very well too. What can't you do? ;)
We really enjoyed having you guys around, it was fun! Wishing all the best for your future :)

My BF and I really enjoyed our stay at the Center. Pam & Rob are so lovely and immediately welcomed us into their beautiful space. The volunteer caravan accomodation is very cozy and well set up, the hosts also provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Come prepared for mosquitos! The food was great and the work was quite relaxed. Highly recommend this experience for someone that wants to get away from the noise and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. The place is quite far away from town, the hosts do provide bikes if you want to go into town / the beach though! Overall amazing!

Hi Sarah, thank you both for all your hard work, you worked well with your BF and solo. We are really glad you had a lovely experience and that you were adventurous enough to go to town by bike and by foot! You were great in the kitchen and cleaning and dressing the rooms, very multi skilled! You were also smiley and positive when working, thank you! Wishing you lots of fun experiences ahead!

I absolutely adored my time with Pam and Rob at Mill.Space! I spent a full month with them, and got to experience the incredible natural surroundings while doing very fair work. I helped Rob in the kitchen during the retreat and I helped Pam organize and clean the rooms. Rob and Pam went out of their way to show me to local surroundings and encouraged me to grow as an individual. I connected so well with them and enjoyed learning about their practices and way of living. Mill.Space is truly such a special place, and I will miss it dearly!

Hey Bella, you were the best! From ironing, cleaning ,dressing rooms to your great skills in the kitchen. We loved that you were so happy making cordials, cakes and never really wanted to stop! We also loved that you were able to join some of our retreat classes (as it was our retreat) and joined the kirtan group with your lovely voice, our time with you was simply lovely. Wishing you lots of fun on your travels, same time next year?;)

My time at the Center was truly such a special experience. I spent 10 days at the Mill where I prepared rooms for the upcoming yoga retreats and worked with Rob in the kitchen making delicious meals while the retreat was happening. Pam and Rob go the extra mile to make sure their volunteers are taken care of. I felt so welcomed from the minute I arrived, and you will feel like the Center becomes a second home when you volunteer with Pam and Rob! You will do intentional work and have the space to disconnect and enjoy the beautiful place you get to contribute to! Thank you the Center!
