Peter has been a truly amazing host, very accommodating and kind and I am so grateful for the time I got to spend here!! Even though I only stayed for two weeks, I immediately felt welcomed as part of the family. At the farm I got to help out with harvesting, watering and caring for the plants. I also got to borrow a saxophone AND a violin to practice and play music together which was so fun and super kind!!!! The food was amazing and they were also very considerate towards me as a vegetarian :) Thank you Peter, Kanchu, Sandeepa and Mahesh for your generosity and making my stay so wonderful.

I had an amazing experience volunteering here. It was a great opportunity to work alongside local people and learn new things. Peter and his team are friendly and welcoming, and they really go over and beyond to make sure you have a good time in Sri Lanka. I had a wonderful time here and I enjoyed every minute of it. I wouldn't have changed this experience for the world and I wish them the best of luck moving forward with the project :)

This is truly been the best decision I have made to come to the eco village, I couldn't of asked for a more welcoming, interesting, funny group of people, the host Peter is one of my favourite people I have met and makes everybody feel at home straight away. The eco site is beautiful, has the loveliest people working there, the cutest dogs I've EVER met, and is such a calm environment to learn so much about the culture here and the work we do on the farm, whilst having so much fun playing pool, cooking together and laughing more than I think I ever have. I wish I could stay here forever !!!

This experience was amazing and I would recommend to anybody who would like to meet people and spend time in nature as well. The eco village is a beautiful project that you can see coming alive and you can meet the kindest people who work on it every day. Perer is a very caring host who tries to help the volunteers in any need and is also curious about their views. I had the best time here. 😊
