The place was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. You work the exact hours they specify and no more. Everyone was very friendly and outgoing and willing to talk and help. YOU MUST BE OK WITH OFF GRID LIVING. You are a long ways from town with not an easy way to get there by yourself. In addition to this, you are basically camping the whole time. If you enjoy that and the outdoors and want some peace and quiet I would highly recommend this. The host is fantastic and is very welcome and willing to help you with anything you need.

Nickie and Harry were wonderful! They were so welcoming and accommodating I really enjoyed getting to know them! The work is tough but rewarding and the area is stunning, there is a lot of free time after work to explore the camp! Olivia, one of the staff is amazing and I'm glad to have become friends with her! I'll miss everyone at the lodge (especially Andi and Marshall!) I hope to visit again one day!!

The host were really nice people lovely to chat to. If you love nature it's good but a reminder you will see all different animals like rats so just a heads up. The location is nice. Bring a book or something to keep your mind going because in the evenings it can get a small bit boring because the WiFi is not strong in the place u are sleeping in. Have fun and explore the islands they have on the lodge

Volunteering here is heavenly if you are looking for a place to enjoy nature, meditate, meeting people from everywhere and being immersed into the off grid life ! Nickie and Harry are very lovely people, you will have a good time here ! I recommend to have a car if you want to move around and take a good hoodie for the nights. See you guys and thank you ❤️

I had an amazing experience volunteering at Oyama Lake! Nickie and Harry are fantastic hosts, super welcoming and always making sure you're comfortable and have everything you need. The work itself was fun and fulfilling, and the other staff were great, making my time there unforgettable! the lodge is absolutely beautiful, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors during your free time, hiking, paddling, or kayaking on the lodge. 10/10 would recommend, I'd love to come back!🫶🏽

OyamaLake was the most beautiful experience ever, it was my first volunteer and I'm so grateful for that, Nickie and Harry are awesome, they are so sweet and friendly, I will miss Nickie singing all time. The place is perfect if you want to connect with nature and with yourself, the lodge is beautiful, and the sunsets and sunrise are amazing… I will miss the friends made there and the fire nights. Thanks for everything, I would like to return someday.

The lodge is great if you love peace and quiet and don't mind working hard. The work is simple, the hours are not much and are fixed so you get lots of time off. It is only really hard work in the busy season and if there aren't other worldpackers. Nickie and Harry were great hosts, they're lovely people. You will enjoy it there the most if you like kayaking, swimming, and paddle boarding etc, can drive, and want to be away from civilisation. If you can't drive it's hard to get around so if you're going for a long time bear that in mind. If you would like more information please message me!

Nickie, Harry (the owners) and Jamy, Kali, and Bruce (staff) were just awesome! the lodge is perfect for escaping from the city. You will have the opportunity to connect with nature in unimaginable ways. Also, ideally for reconnecting with yourself and developing your spirituality. A perfect day for me was go to work, after that take a kayak trip around the lodge, listening to my favorite my favs songs, while I was watching the sunset. My only recommendation for future volunteers is to "work hard and play hard!" Wish you luck 😃🫶🏼.
