Workaway Host List - Find Hosts and Organizations

Area: Oamaru

For lovers of people, music, art, books, food & wine! A backpacker’s hostel with atmosphere, heart & soul! My place began as a dream, a vision; it began on my travels with desires to transform every great building into a hostel. Returning to New Zealand 6 years later, that opportunity awaited me, in a then derelict beautiful Victorian 2 storied house in Oamaru. Now our hostel lives and breathes a life of it's own, we created it, and it has evolved into something far greater and more special than I could have ever imagined. The space is your own, a gift from us to you. Its a creative space, what I now see in my years here is people whom have never thought that they were creative all of a sudden filled up to the rim with a desire to create, people that never played an instrument before learn to play the piano or the guitar and what I love most is that they learn and are inspired by the people around them.

Area: Ribatejo

Helpers at our farm get to stay in a nice old rural house with bathroom. We offer you 3 meals a day, which you’ll prepare with the ingredients we’ll provide you. You’ll be sharing the kitchen and dining room with other people, which will enable you to have contacts with other staff members working here. Some of them are staying on the farm, while others come around during the day. We expect you to help us 5 hours a day on the farm with different chores, such as weeding, cleaning leaves, working in the vegetable garden, recovering and cleaning old items (i.e. leather equipment for horses), cleaning and organizing old tiles, cleaning old objects, helping out if a wedding or a summer camp is about to be held. We are quite flexible, so usually we give our helpers a list of what needs to be done and they organise themselves. The property is beautiful, but you should know it is also an isolated and calm place, even more in winter. The nearest town, Coruche, is 6 km away and getting to the bigger city, Santarém, is a 30 min bus ride (there are busses every hour to go to either place). If you don’t like being on your own most of the time, it might be nice to have the company of another helper if you can find one. Getting here from Lisbon is easy, you simply need to take the bus from Lisbon to Coruche at the Campo Grande bus and tube station (a 1h45 ride). Since your organization does not provide any kind of insurance, it is advisable you travel having your own. If you are a tourist in Portugal, hospitals will provide help, but you need to bring documents and paper work from your country. Antonio and myself live between Lisboa and the farm, as we need to have an office in the city. We go regularly to the farm to do some work and to check how things are going. Our children are between 16 and 25; you might see them if they aren’t away travelling like you.
