The Experience

We started 2022 to restore this beautiful place after it has been abandoned for years. Our aim is to share our sustainable philosophy of healthy and happy living with visitors from all over the world. People can have a yummy vegetarian buffet, à la carte, or home baked cake, enjoy the old botanical garden, sleep over, rent a bike or canoe, browse through our own organic fruit trees. We are an international team and we would love you to join us!

From the very beginning, I felt so warmly welcomed by Lia and the team. I quickly became comfortable being part of the daily life there. I really enjoyed helping both in the garden and in the café, and it was lovely to see how well the whole team works together. It was a wonderful first volunteering experience, and I'm really grateful for the time I spent there. Definitely a place I would recommend — and one I would happily come back to one day! 🌿🌸

I loved my time at the host. It is such a beautiful place, surrounded by lots of nature and of course a very cold lake haha :) Everyone was very nice and welcoming and the working hours were exactly as proposed. I got a really cool insight into how the café works behind the scenes, which was a great experience. I was there at the end of August, but I imagine it would be even nicer in July because of the warmer weather. We had quite a few rainy days during my stay.

Sorry I missed the review window! We were very grateful for Iris' help! She supported us in the kitchen with preparation and cleaning tasks as well as in the bed & breakfast. She liked to learn about cooking and baking and she is very easy going. Thank you so much again Iris!

I had a great time volunteering at the host! It's such a beautiful place in the middle of swedish nature, directly at the lake. The working environment is really good, the staff members are very friendly and helpful. The tasks are mainly helping with dishwashing, cleaning, housekeeping and some tasks in the kitchen like chopping vegetables. The working hours are always respected. It is great to connect with the other volunteers and do things together like going swimming in the lake, taking the bikes to cute cafés or watching movies together :)

I spent two wonderful weeks in Urshult. Everyone was super nice all the time, they watched out for our well-being and adapted to our requests (including vegan options) and recommended amazing places nearby the café. The work hours were respected and fun do to, they always asked if i'm okay with the tasks given and told me my free days in advance on the first day of my stay. The room I stayed in was clean, beautiful and i had plenty of space and time to myself! I can absolutely recommend the host for everyone who's interested in rural Sweden, nature and meeting a super awesome team there! :)

This experience was amazing! Everyone at the facility is kind, caring and respectful. The tasks mostly include kitchen work, housekeeping and cleaning, but the staff always consider your preferences and strengths when assigning tasks. Everything is clearly explained and you can always ask questions. The team shares delicious vegetarian/vegan lunch and dinner together. It was also great to meet other volunteers and spend time in staff facilities, which are cute and well-equipped. The rural setting is peaceful with beautiful nature and a lake nearby. I definitely recommend it!
