I had a great experience helping out at the guest house. During my month-long stay, I helped with a mix of housekeeping, maintenance, painting, and moving jobs around the property. The work was varied and straightforward, and I enjoyed contributing to such a beautiful place. The team was welcoming and easy to work with, and the location itself is incredible—right on the edge of the lake with stunning views and access to great walks nearby. I appreciated the chance to learn new skills while also having time to explore the area during my time off. Thanks for having me!

What a place... So grateful I got to spend some time at the guest house, waking up with the most stunning view every day. The mountains, the lake, the moon and the stars. It was magical ✨ Thanks to my roomies and of course our house cat Taka for making it an unforgettable stay 🩵
