Hi everyone,

**We welcome anyone that loves to be around people**

We have recently bought an award winning backpackers hostel overlooking the beautiful Bras d'Or Lakes of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. We are surrounded by trees, fresh air and wildlife. I'm looking for volunteers to help with all kinds of things from now to end of October. If you enjoy being active, I am close by to hiking, kayaking, biking, swimming and beaches. Workawayers are welcome to help with cleaning, making beds, landscaping, renovations and building projects, helping travelers, answering phones etc . I host hundreds of international backpackers each season and invite you to be part of this great place! Late afternoon and night is left for BBQ's, reading in the hammocks, biking, swimming, campfires, and music. Please contact at least a few days before as I only have room for 2-3 at a time and don't want to disappoint. Length of stay is flexible yet if we both enjoy the experience I would prefer you stay 2-4 weeks, longer if you have a work visa. My best experiences with workawayers have been those not afraid of working hard and playing hard, who enjoy meeting new people and are open to new experiences. Preference given to non smokers and those with a sense of humor and good work ethic.
See you soon :) New owners Bob and Nancy

Vom Workawayer (Nina & Anna) für Host

The first time we met Nancy, she was very enthusiastic to meet us. She was the first host we stayed at, and our second day in Canada, away from home. The first night, we slept in one of the rooms in the hostel, before we moved into a little cottage a few steps away from the hostel. The cottage was a great place for privacy, but it had no running… read more

I had a wonderful ten day stay here and this lovely hostel very quickly felt like home. Bob and Nancy are welcoming, kind people and I enjoyed the company of the other workawayers and the awesome guests! The cleaning work was very manageable and relaxed and I had plenty of time to see the local area. I will miss it here!

Before I arrived at the hostel, I planned to stay 2-4 weeks there. In the end I stayed 3 months and it was an amazing experience. I had a variety of tasks over the time, from making beds, over cleaning, checking-in and hosting the guests to basic office work. Carman is very kind, welcoming and fair, always making sure that volunteers enjoy their… read more

I spent 12 days here performing mostly cleaning and laundry tasks. It was hard work when busy but it was a pleasure to help keep this very clean tidy hostel up to scratch. Carmen is a great guy, friendly, fair, helpful and generous. Much enjoyed my time there. All the best.

Nevertheless, the time I spent here was good in so many ways. The tranquility, the nature, the wildlife, the lake on your door step, the people you meet at… read more

The hostel is very familiar and I just felt at home from the first second. Carman is really fun, very easy-going and welcoming. He knows everything about the region and I really… read more

I spent 5 wonderful days at the hostel and I wish I could have stayed longer! The work was very easy and relaxing and Carman is a very good host. I got my own private room, he went hiking with me and took us to a local museum. He is very helpful and knows a lot about the area. I would definitely recommend a workaway stay at his hostel!

What a fantastic experience! Although we only stayed little over a week, we could have easily stayed for a lot longer.

The work is quite chilled as is the atmosphere of… read more
