Description
We are a Hostel & Cafe situated in Mount Lavinia (south Colombo), Sri Lanka. The Hostel is 200m from the beach (the best one in Colombo area), there are some nice restaurants and bars. The beach is not a surf spot, but it's an amazing spot for Scuba diving, since there are some wreck places. Hostel is also close to the main road but still in pretty quiet area.
About the Hostel - We have dorms and some private rooms and also small BBQ restaurant, which was recently opened. The best spot is the rooftop garden with kitchen, where all the people are meeting for chat, drink, sunbathing, cooking, yoga or meditation.
We have also opened up a cafe and are planning on opening up a bar, which means there is a lot of activity , so we are looking for outgoing personalities
If you don't have a common sense, please, just skip this ad, ain't nobody got time for that.
What are we looking for?
We need someone who is not afraid of work, you're not going to be our slave, but we need some work to be done. But no worries we are friendly, so for sure we can somehow make it work and schedule it depending on your plans as well. The minimum stay could be a couple of days, a week or a month, that is up to you.
Lets make this happen!!
Looking forward to working with committed travel -workawayers!

Autres infos...
As we mentioned, there is main road very close, so you can just easily hop on the bus and get to Colombo city center (temples, museum, fish market, shopping,..) for aprox 30 Rs. The Mount Lavinia train station is just 15 min walk away. You can jump on the train to the south or to the city center for connecting trains. You can go to the beach, try Scuba diving or snorkelling. If you wanna travel around the island, Colombo is a great spot for the beginning of your journey.

She also helped us with the newly opened Café as well. What ever she did, she did with heart and I am sure everyone who Contracts here will have the same experience.
My only task was to walk to the guests, give them tips on where to go and stay at the reception sometimes when the receptionists has a lunch break. ( Almost never happened.)
Dinesh, Rodney, and Tharindu were the nicest!
It was my first time in Asia, and Dinesh and Rodney (manager) made me feel at home straight away. I helped around the hostel when and where needed, sometimes with breakfast, sometimes at the reception, most of the time socialising with guests helping them to plan their stay in Sri Lanka or helping… read more
They make guests feel very welcome and were the ideal hosts, organizing BBQs and beach tours.

Her dynamic personality along with her experience in Marketing made her an ideal team player.
She was tireless in her efforts in helping the hostel take the next step.
We will surely miss her, but wish her the very best!!
Thank you :)
I had an awesome time with Dinesh. He is a great host, caring and wants volunteers also 'to enjoy' Sri Lanka and the job :-)! Part of the task therefore is travelling to his other hostels to see the country and experience travelling in Sri Lanka first hand. This also enables you to better help travellers who visit the… read more
