Program Details

We operate cozy Airbnb rooms and a stargazing campground, surrounded by a longan orchard, organic vegetable garden, and serene mountain landscapes.

🌱 Who We’re Looking For

We're inviting quiet, respectful, and nature-loving volunteers—especially those who enjoy photography, peaceful environments, or simple rural life—to join us in creating a welcoming experience for our guests.

We’re seeking reliable and flexible individuals who can help with:
• Cleaning of Airbnb rooms, common areas, and campground: dust, sweep, mop, deep cleaning, and make up rooms
• Gardening (planting, watering, weeding, harvesting organic vegetables)
• Occasional help with welcoming guests, preparing breakfast, and washing dishes.
You’ll work alongside our friendly staff member (currently on-site but going on maternity leave from December 2025), so a willingness to learn and help out is key.
