Wilderness Beach House Backpackers

Travelers fall in love with Wilderness and The Beach House. Volunteers don't want to leave because locals are welcoming and just so much adventure awaits. The work is fun but we still try and keep high service standards.

I've been running The Beach House for 10 years and living my dream. We have multi cultural staff since South Africa is known for her rainbow nation. They will make you feel at home and show you the ropes.

Wilderness is an amazing place and the people are extremely welcoming. The work is not easy and the hours are definitely long; it’s manageable but be aware you’ll be expected to work hard and often with no breaks. The Beach House is a hang out spot for the town so it can get really busy, great if you’re having a day off but exhausting if you’re working. The male staff made me and other girls very uncomfortable multiple times; the female staff is great. The food is very simple and the same every single day. Overall, if you’re adventurous and enjoy nature, BH will meet your expectations

Wilderness South Africa is the most beautiful and magical place on this side of the planet! I was blessed with the opportunity to integrate into the culture here, I plan on coming back for years to come and you'll meet many people that say the same. However I will not be volunteering here again. Upon applying you will be asked to sign a contract, PLEASE read it closely.
I think for me the hours were a bit much to handle especially during season. Its a very busy establishment during summer and you'll be working nearly full time hours as a volunteer. Less hours in this time would've been better

Hi Kodi,
Thank you for your feedback. You are also missed.. Yes season can be quite hectic for all of us :-) I am sorry that you felt you worked too much , however, not one volunteer worked more hours than what was agreed upon and many days when we closed earlier, you would finish earlier (30MIN - 1HR).. but I do understand that it felt like a lot because it was non stop. We do appreciate all our volunteers. If I failed you, I am sorry, it was unintentional.

Wilderness is such a special and magical place, I will definitely come back, but I won't be volunteering here again in the future. The employees at the hostel/backpackers are amazing, very nice, welcoming and freindly. During my stay I made the most beautiful friendships with travellers, previous volunteers and locals.
For me the amount of hours you're working and the task were a lot, the volunteers are held to the same standard and responsibility as the permanent employees, which in some cases are completely understandable, but in others a bit unfair as you are there as a volunteer.

It was hard to write just some words about my volunteering, because this is clearly the best experience of my life. I met A LOT of locals, that are now my friends, I improved my English and I had the time to do so much activities. The work is really easy, you’re in touch with the guests that’s really cool. I would like to say thank you to lieze I know you work really hard for this hostel and you’re doing a really great job for that.
Now for the futurs volunteers, I hope you will appreciate this place like I do, this is my 2nd home. I’m coming back !

Beachhouse was generally a great place to work. Lieze tries to give the volunteers a good experience; she’ll help coordinate activities, adjust work schedules, and give you rides places when she’s available. She can become easily stressed out on busy beachhouse nights, but if you ensure you’re helping out as agreed and don’t let the job stress you out, you’ll do just fine.

The biggest challenge here was the behavior of several of the full time employees here. There were inappropriate comments and gestures made towards the girls. After discussing with Lieze, things got better except one guy
