Fairy Knowe Backpackers

Fairy Knowe is a popular hostel and adventure center. We have a bar that is supported by many interesting locals and tourists. The bar is always entertaining and hosts talented live music 2-4 times a week.

With an abundance of bird life, multiple hiking trails, horse riding, volleyball, rivers, kayaks, canyoning, abseiling, paragliding and the beach nearby, it's almost impossible to run out of things to do!

We also have a 10 year old Malawian girl home-schooling at the hostel, Miriam, who is in need of tome tutor help.

We are looking for volunteers who would like to assist with the variety of tasks that we have from: front of house, promotion, adventure activities, cooking and of course a tutor for Miriam, our bright young student.

We are also open to volunteers spreading their time working on more than 1 of our volunteer positions.

When it's time to relax, grab a book from our vast selection and soak up some sun. Or go for a snooze in a hammock!

We are all very friendly and treat each other like family. Our previous volunteers have all felt that they were treated like they've been welcomed into a new family.

I do not know where to start. What an incredible place with spectacular people. Dom and Wesley welcomed me well and made me feel at home. They were VERY patient with my English and thanks to them I felt like I improved a lot in the language!

I just have to say a big thank you to Fairy Knowe BackPackers. Whoever comes will love it! Sarah, Sophie, Mercy, Emily, Mr. Jones, Renerick, Lorcan, Mike, Larney, Boo, Ginger! There are so many special people! Whoever comes will fall in love.

I hope to one day return to this incredibly special and unforgettable place! AMO VOCÊS <3

I absolutely loved my stay at Fairy Knowe, from the moment Dom and Wes picked me up at the bus station I felt instantly welcomed. It quickly became a home away from home. The area was beautiful with many things to do and lots of fun interactions with the locals. Working in the bar was a lot of fun and they were so flexible and easy to work with/for. A very nice balance of work hard, play harder. It was an unforgettable experience and I would love to visit again someday. :)
