The most amazing community you could have :)
I was here for two weeks, which was way too short for me to spend time :(
The most amazing thing about this place is the people, food, and the space they have with very good vibe.
It was my first workaway yet this trip became my favorite thing I did.
There were about 8 volunteers at the time, with… read more

We stayed two weeks in Polwathumodara (it took us almost the same time to pronounce this), together with a couple of other volunteers. Dulli is a great host and we had a lot of fun during and after working times. We helped out with some artwork and most of all helped to clear the garden and make a path. This was hard work but it was fun to do and… read more

Dulli's place was the best spot where to start my adventure in Sri Lanka. I helped him in some duties in the hostel and I had also the chance to paint one mandala in a wall. I loved all the time spent there and I will never thank Dulli enough for this amazing experience I've lived. Super great vibes!! I strongly recommend it!

I stayed a week by the House, working and enjoying Sri Lanka local life, amazing 'Rice and Curry' with tasty coffee. Good talks and laugh with Dulli and his friend Dillon. I felt home in this beautiful house located in a small village. Between Mirissa and Welligama near a peaceful beach, let’s say here is paradise !

It was your first experience with workaway and we were lucky that we could help Dulli with opening his new place. We tried diffent srilankan food and visited alms giving(Buddhist tradition)
Dulli was very easy going and we had a good time. We weren't forced to work work every day from x to y. It was fun working in this place.
Higly recommend!!!
