The Experience

Looking for someone who likes to cook up a meal! Nothing too fancy just some yummy dishes (vegetarian option required). Some examples are pasta dishes, curries, burgers, tacos etc We're looking for like minded folk who are interested in the environment, community living and who have a good work ethic! The position is approx 2 hrs/day depending on the meal, with one day off. This is to ensure a high standard but to also free up more of your time.

I loved my stay at Backpackers 1770! It was truly an amazing experience and I would recommend staying here to anyone. The hostel provides a sense of community that includes fun activities, shared meals and outings. On top of that the shifts aren't too long and the work is very manageable. If you are a nature loving, open and easy going person I'm certain that you will enjoy this experience. I met here incredible people - guests and well as the other volunteers - that made my stay special.

I had a really great time at the hostel! The work was 2 hours each day and there were always clear instructions given. The rest of the volunteers were all so lovely and really helped make my time in Agnes Water so much fun. The volunteer dorm has 10 beds but the room is big enough that it never felt cramped.

I really enjoyed my day at the backpackers at 1770. The work was not too hard and the people here are so lovelyand the vibe is so chill. It's not a party hostle but it still had a lot of fun event times. I loved hanging out with the people here going to the beach which is 10 minutes away swimming surfing and hanging out with the other guest and volunteers. The Dorm was good as well. And they have the best outside shower ever.🔥 Laban,Neta and Oscar were very nice , and flexible if you need to go to another work.

I had a wonderful time volunteering in the backpackers @1770. First I did housekeeping, and then I became the cook. I loved being the cook so much, because it's a big passion of mine and it didn't feel like working. I met the most amazing friends here. The hostel is cozy and the managers make sure you don't work more hours than agreed on. The policy is flexible and they try to match your volunteering with your paid job, which I appreciate a lot. I would recommend everyone to go here if you love small towns, the beach, surfing, and good vibes. It's such a joy to stay in this hostel.
