Description
Perched on a hillside in a natural rain-forest environment, our already closed Guest House is flushed with fresh jungle air. Presently, we are doing much maintaining, cleaning and construction to up grade the place and the garden.
So if you are good with electricity, carpentry or gardening you are really welcome here.
Our guesthouse is equipped with a large kitchen where volunteers may cook their meals. There is a big balcony and the old dormitory room (now living room). We offer two private rooms with double beds in a traditional Malay house, and there is ample space for those who prefer to camp in their own tents as well.
Mama Fauziah will prepare breakfast and lunch for the Workawayers every working day. So you can try a lot of good Malaysian food.
In order for your time here to be fruitful for all, we require a minimum of two weeks stay. Here is an opportunity to help out like family, connect and feel life's natural flow, and perhaps remain as friends for frequent returning.
We are located in Kuala Teriang on the island of Langkawi, Malaysia; just minutes from many spectacular beaches and waterfalls.
