The experience

There is always lots to do around the Guesthouse. We are looking for volunteers that will be pro active and not afraid to get their hands dirty.
Depending on the season in the garden and fields there will be seeds to plant, vegetables to harvest and weeds to pull up.
There will also be general cleaning duties around the Guesthouse. Help with cooking our meals will be really helpful and expected as we cannot always find the time to do it.
