  The living is off grid , outside composting toilet and a shower in the shed up the hill. Water is rainwater so you need to be frugal in the dry season. I have a room with 2 single beds available. It is basic but private and has WiFi.
  
  You will be provided with 3 meals a day. You can help with preparation and will need to participate in clean up.
