    Description

    We are a 100-year-old English house, a designated cultural heritage site, that operates as a hostel and the heart of two non-profit cultural projects: an art gallery and a children's library.

    More than just a place to stay, we offer a unique experience where you can immerse yourself in projects with a strong social and artistic impact. We are located right in the heart of the world-class surf breaks of Lobitos, making it the perfect base for surfing. After a long day in the water, you can relax and enjoy the best sunsets from our property.

    For digital nomads and remote workers, we have a dedicated co-working space with Starlink internet, ensuring fast and reliable connectivity for all your needs.

    We invite you to join our community. If you visit us, you won't just find a place to stay—you'll find a true home.

    Volunteer Perks:

    Free access to all house activities.

    Free pilates lessons.

    Discounts on surf lessons and local tours.

    Use of our facilities: yoga room, karaoke, cinema, and bonfire area.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Here at we're more than a hostel—we're a family! Our crew includes three local staff, three volunteers, and, of course, all our wonderful guests. We spend our time together sharing our love for music, food, and learning about each other's cultures. We work to create a friendly and harmonious vibe. Plus, with our amazing location, it's the perfect place to learn how to surf!

    Help

    We're currently looking for two volunteers to help with our daily operations, which includes mostly front desk reception, and a little hostel cleaning / general maintenance. We ask for an average of 3 to 4 hours of help per day, and you'll have one day off per week.

    We are also looking for a third volunteer to manage our social media and online presence. If you're creative and have innovative ideas, we'd love to hear them! The schedule for this position will be discussed on arrival, but will require the same 20 to 24 hours per week as the other volunteers.

    We also have a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to get involved with the local community. On weekends, there's the chance to spend time with the children of Lobitos—reading to them, creating fun activities, and playing together. This is a great way to make a deeper connection with the community here. This task is optional, but the time spent with the children will count towards your volunteer hours of the week.

    In exchange we will provide you with accommodation in our gender specific volunteer dorms, access to a private volunteer kitchen, a fast internet connection, and full use of all of our common areas. We ask for a minimum stay of 3 weeks. Many of our past volunteers have extended their stay, and we think you'll soon understand why. Our home, with its perfect blend of sun, surf, and a laid-back atmosphere, has a way of finding a special place in your heart.

    Come be a part of our family—we look forward to meeting you!
