Beschreibung
Our hostel is owned and operated by the family Nout, Jolanda and our boys Dex and Cas. The hostel is designed and built in styles both typical and unique to Mompiche. Our focus was on creating a nice & cozy atmosphere while utilizing construction methods with minimal environmental impact. We have 7 bamboo bungalows (5 privates & 2 shared dorms), a communal kitchen, a yoga/relax deck + hammock zone to hang and mingle with fellow travelers, an on-site restaurant/bar, plus fast and reliable fiber optic wifi. Just a three minute walk to the town center and beach, our little tropical oasis is a great place to spend a few weeks and meet travelers from all over the world.
We prefer a 4 weeks minimum stay (or longer) but if you can only stay for 2 weeks, we will take your offer into consideration. Of course there is a 1-week trial period to make sure everyone is happy with the arrangement.
HEADS UP TO COUPLES OR FRIENDS TRAVELING TOGETHER: Our volunteers may work separate schedules.
Please send us a message if you have any questions. Be sure to include in your message your estimated date of arrival to Mompiche, how long you would like to stay with us, and what you believe you have to offer that makes you stand out from the rest (your strengths, previous work experience, any specific trades you are good at, etc.). Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you!!
Cheers ~ Nout, Jolanda, Dex y Cas

Mompiche is a quaint little fishing village in northern Ecuador. The village rests on a 40-mile crescent-moon bay. The world-class waves attract surfers from all over the globe and is a fantastic place to learn how to surf (classes and board rentals available year-round) since there are waves for all ability levels. Also out in that great big blue space, you can go on whale-watching excursions (September-November) or sit on the beach at night and be mesmerized by the fluorescent-green color of the plankton lighting up the waves, depending, of course, on the month you are here. There is a gorgeous, small island 10 minutes away called “Isla Portete”. It is not much more than a few homes, miles of pristine coastline, coconut palms and peace. From Mompiche, you can also walk to a stunning and picturesque black-sand beach only minutes away. Mompiche offers horseback riding along the beach. Also, just behind us is a protected rain forest packed full of incredible flora and fauna. There are forest tours available where you can see monkeys, toucans, parrots, waterfalls and much more. In short, Mompiche is a beautiful place to disconnect from everything and reconnect with nature.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Michael)
Misha has been a rockstar volunteer! We adore him. He fits in so well here... at our hostel, in the community. He´s willing to do whatever odd task you ask of him (one day he raked up a pile of leaves about the size of our house... thanks for that, Misha... that was a fun one to burn... ha). He always completes his tasks well and at an… read more

Craig was a super fun, super happy, super energetic workawayer who we had the privilege to have come stay and work with us. He´s got an amazing attitude, REALLY great ideas, and was happy to do just about anything we threw his way. We especially loved having him help in the sandwich shop... he got the beer games started, the riddles to keep… read more

Vom Workawayer (Craig) für Host
Absolutely amazing people, in a quaint little town. Ideal for surfers. Mendee and Andres were fantastic hosts and amazing friends as well. Working in the sandwich shop is a breeze and good fun, yard work with Andres can be pretty hilarious (humor-wise, not work ethic) and Mendee always has something small for you to do. I enjoyed my time here… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Adam & Holly)
Adam and Holly did volunteer work painting signs for our hostel in exchange for food, not lodging because they were staying and volunteering with another Workaway host in Mompiche. They made these beautiful, super artistic and creative signs for us and they did beautiful carpentry work at their host´s house. They were a joy to have around and if… read more

I made some signs for their cabañas and in return got a few beers and a banging egg sarnie (even of you don't volunteer here but you're in Mompiche, definitely head… read more

The volunteer was encouraged to seek another volunteer opportunity elsewhere after we discovered that he was not forthright with us. This continues to reflect in his comments, however, we wish him the best in his journey.

Vom Workawayer (Leo) für Host
Unfortunately, the host allowed me to remain only 9 days. Although they were seeking help with various projects (in their description you can read "art, design, organization, gardening, basic maintenance of the home and the hostel, construction. Experienced carpenters are always welcome"), after only 3 days of my arrival (from Italy to Ecuador, a… read more
