Beschreibung
We are Ninon & Jurgen and live off-grid at our eco-friendly Mountain Retreat (A down to earth guest farm). It's about digital detox eco-tourism, hiking trails, mountain trekking, canyoning and other adventure activities. Our organic/permaculture garden is growing but will eventually feed us and more.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Here you'll get a good dose of, nature, eco-friendliness, conscious living in close range of a wild mountain environment. You'll learn hands on farm skills and how to prepare healthy wholesome meals, when ever possible straight from our organic garden.
Arbeit
Volunteering tasks range from fieldwork, building & renovation, hiking trail maintenance, permaculture gardening, composting, feeding chicken, as well as cleaning of guest cottages, helping in our kitchen etc.
Where possible we all work together in a team, however volunteers need to be able to work on their own and be comfortable with the remoteness of the farm, lack of WiFi and mobile phone connection. Get ready for a Digital Detox!
We are looking for outdoorsy, hands-on volunteers (bring your hiking boots!). Practical experience is a bonus!

I've never felt 2 weeks being so short in my life. Luckily i caught Jurgen and Ninon when they were in Cape Town,so we all drove up to the place.
Upon arrival for some reason it's as if my phone knew that i would be off the grid and the main functions were not working,but that was not a trash smash but rather a blessing in… read more

Thanks for your awesome review about your stay here! We can only echo the joy and gratitude!! what started off with a wobbly miss-identification (two different Jonas' in the system) lead quickly to a supportive, engaged and enthusiastic experience. Thanks for your hard work, building trails through rocky mountains, sifting rocks from… read more

The work was hard, but very enjoyable, because the tasks… read more
