I loved my stay here, I even extended for another week! People in the guest house are super kind and warm-hearted, and I also had the chance to interact with other volunteers. the guest house also the perfect place for me to interact with guests coming from all over the world as well! We mostly did room cleaning, but also worked on a couple of DIY projects involving painting and building. Taiga the guest house always welcoming for any suggestions to improve the guesthouse. Most stores and sightseeing spots are far away, but it was fun challenging myself to use the e-bikes provided at the property.

We loved staying with tiaga, Akane and baby moana at the guest house. The space the guest house really cool to hang out with other volunteers and guests. We worked from 10-4pm with an hours lunch break which was honoured as well as our off days. The main work the guest house taking care of cleaning for the rooms, but I was mainly working on painting murals and signs for the guesthouse which was so fun! Tiaga took us out diving and let us use his snorkelling gear and spare car as we pleased which was amazing. 100% recommend to anyone considering this experience. Thank you Tiaga !

The guest house a nice place to disconnect and stay in a place surrounded by nature. Taiga and Akane are very nice, they are very busy with their daughter but they try to make sure you feel welcomed. At the guesthouse you will have electric bikes at your disposal that can be very helpful to get around. However, beaches, towns, supermarkets and other interesting places are a bit far, so moving with car the guest house the best. Overall, I liked my stay. The tasks and working hours can be more demanding than other places.
