The Experience

Immerse yourself in slow eco-living on a farmstay in the lush green countryside of Malaysia, with Kuala Lumpur only about an hour away by car. Our farmstay in Bentong is a peaceful permaculture discovery center surrounded by tropical greenery, a river, and forested hills. Volunteers become part of a small community that values sustainability, simple living, and learning by doing. Our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@I-NAIGreenvilleFarmstay

I had a wonderful experience at the farm! I felt very comfortable and welcomed from the beginning. We shared cultures, conversations, games, and delicious meals together. The place is beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable. I also had a great opportunity to practice my English, make many new friends, and learn from people from different backgrounds. I really enjoyed the working hours as well and had a great time being part of this place. Thank you for such a lovely experience! 💛

Nik was an incredible host, and his whole family made me feel at home from the first day. They always prepared amazing meals for us, and you could really feel the care they put into everything. Nik was always kind, patient, and even gave me rides whenever needed, which made my experience much easier. He also shared a lot of knowledge and taught us many useful things during the volunteering. I truly enjoyed my time at the farm and I'm very grateful to Nik and his family for their generosity and hospitality. I highly recommend this experience to any volunteer!

I enjoyed my stay at the farm, the owner is such a generous and friendly person, it was nice for me to spend some time in the nature. Work was flexible and easy to handle, I also got to explore painting and be creative. The accommodation was private and comfortable. My only problem was that there was lots of insects everywhere, but apart from that I really enjoyed my stay, and got to meet wonderful people, thank you Nik for the great opportunity, hope to see you again sometime ❤️

I had an amazing experience helping to create a jungle hiking trail. I became fully absorbed in the task and loved contributing with inspiration. Nik is extremely flexible, but volunteers should know why they are there and how they want to help. The resort is fantastic for exploring wild nature and nearby villages. I saw many wild animals, had incredible encounters, and felt like I was in a small paradise far from the noisy Kuala Lumpur.

Volunteering at Nik's Permaculture Project was an absolute delight, from the place, to the people, to the nature, and even the tasks was an absolutely wonderful experience. There's a lot for you to do at the farm, and Nik will help you find the thing that you're good at, and would also enjoy doing. The place is the best part since it's so connected to nature, that it instantly cams you, and takes you in a very peaceful state. If you're looking for an experience in a place where you can enjoy a slow living while reconnecting with the nature, Nik's Farmstay is the place to be!
