Knipnäs is a unique historic property completed in 1935, surrounded by forests, gardens and the sea, just a short walk from the town of Tammisaari (Ekenäs) in southern Finland.
Our project has changed quite a bit over the last year. We no longer host retreats or yoga programs, and our main focus is now welcoming guests staying in our accommodations, as well as occasional companies, artists and other professionals using some of the spaces.
Volunteers help with preparing guest accommodations, laundry, cleaning shared spaces and occasional practical projects around the property, depending on their interests and skills.
Most accommodation-related tasks take place between 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm, with around 15 hours of volunteering per week, leaving plenty of free time to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Life here is calm and independent. You\'ll have your own private room and access to shared facilities, while being surrounded by beautiful nature, walking trails, a small beach just beyond the garden and the lovely town of Tammisaari within walking distance.
When there is a larger group of volunteers, a friendly community often develops naturally. We don\'t usually organize activities in advance, but there are plenty of shared spaces where people can spend time together if they wish.
If you\'re looking for a quiet place, enjoy practical work and appreciate nature, this could be a great place for you.
Typical activities
* Preparing guest rooms and apartments
* Laundry and making beds
* Cleaning shared spaces
* Simple maintenance and improvement projects around the property (depending on your interests and skills)
Working hours
Most accommodation-related work takes place between 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm, between guest check-out and check-in.
The position involves approximately 15 hours per week, usually spread over 5 days. Days off are planned in advance to ensure there is always enough coverage for arriving guests.
No drugs allowed and alcohol in moderation.
We communicate a lot about the tasks via Whatsapp, so it is important that you can use your phone and respond to messages while you work.
