The Experience

Our simple but beautiful resort, 1hr from Port Macquarie, is a peaceful and secluded retreat in the countryside in NSW. Next to the river and surrounded by green hills and an animal farm, Mount Seaview Resort offers accommodation and weekly pay. Help other backpackers elevate the resort to a backpacker heaven. The help will consist of mostly working as a kitchen hand. On your time you can enjoy the different hikes, tennis, etc.

This place is perfect if you love nature. The surroundings are beautiful and very peaceful, and you will have a lot of free time. There are other young international travelers working at the host, which can create a fun and social atmosphere. The location is very isolated from cities and everyday life, but that also makes it an ideal place to disconnect, relax, and recharge. The tasks are quite easy and mainly include cleaning, helping in housekeeping, and assisting with front-of-house duties.

+ The tasks to be performed were simple and clearly communicated; there is also a shift schedule. + The owners instruct the employees or volunteers to explain tasks to the newcomers. + The surroundings are very quiet and rural. - The cleanliness of the accommodations for the volunteers is a disaster; after a bedbug infestation in the neighboring room, I decided to leave. - The owners hardly take cleanliness and order at the host seriously but try to work on it. - the host is very remote. There is no public transport. The owners offer a trip to the nearest supermarket 1-2x a week.

We stayed in the host for two weeks and had a great time. Everyone there was verry kind and nice. The work was verry chilled. We cleaned the host rooms and camper bathrooms, when guests were there we helped in the kitchen and we did the laundry. We had a lot of free time and the work was most of the time flexible. Our accomodation was a lodge with pur own bathroom witch was great. Food was provided and we could add some wishes to the shopping list. We could use the kitchen all the time and in the evening we ate together. We loved to stay there!

I had a great time at the host, mainly because of the other backpackers who ran the host. We had a lot of fun together and I would say that your stay really depends on these connections. The nature in the surrounding area is beautiful, but unfortunately there aren't too many different hiking trails or paths. However, if you enjoy the slow life in a remote location, this is definitely a great opportunity for volunteer work! The work is super relaxed and depends on how busy the season is, I had lots of free time in winter. Many thanks to Ralph & Meg, the owners, who welcomed me so warmly.

Really enjoyed my time at the host; the people who work/volunteer there are friendly and easy to get on with. The work is straight forward as described in the description. It was nice to be close to nature and have a lovely view of the mountains. It's a lot different from the city but you soon adapt to it.
