It's a hostel with a homey vibe, a light and tranquil atmosphere, in a traditional area of Canoa. It has five rooms, three private suites and two shared rooms, a kitchen and a terrace with an incredible view.
About the facilities:
The room where the volunteers stay is the same as the guests', it's the mixed shared room, with a fan. The bathroom does not have an electric shower.
The hostel is a triplex with many stairs; it's not suitable for those who have difficulty climbing stairs.
Our location is great, we're in the center of Canoa, where most houses belong to native families, only two blocks on foot to the main street, where there's all the local commerce, a 10-minute walk to the beach and a 3-minute walk to the sunset dunes.
When the activity is external, in the garden it will be only 3 hours and when it is internal like cleaning it will be 5 hours.
Garden 15:00 to 18:00:
- Weeding and cleaning outdoor areas
- Garden maintenance
- Organization of the outdoor space
When helping with cleaning and reception, it will replace someone's day off in this vacancy, so you will only know the shift when you arrive at the hostel. The morning shift is from 07:00 to 12:00 and the afternoon shift from 12:00 to 17:00.
Important:
Due to the strong sun, heat of the region and the noise it makes, garden activities must be carried out in the late afternoon.
ATTENTION:
- It is a quiet hostel, not for parties, events or activities. The number of volunteers is small. We have low and high seasons, which in the low season reduces the number of guests. If the number of people is important for your experience, consider reconsidering.
- The hostel has several stairs, so if you have difficulty with stairs, reconsider.
