Description
A little lost paradise in south Cambodia needs your help!
We are situated on Pak Klang beach in Koh Kong province, just 8 km away from the border with Thailand.
From March 2020 my husband (Thibault )and I (Marija)made our dream come true by opening a small guesthouse with a few beach huts and a bar / restaurant on the beach itself. . Our goal is to make our guests feel like home, and since we live on the land as well we like to make everyone feel as part of the family. We try to be innovative and always bring new ideas to the project, and we are very open to new ideas from a different perspective such as yours! This year we have suffered from troubled times during the conflict with Thailand. Which is why we decided this year we want to offer something new, a safe space,a wellness retreat for people to process , heal and recconect with themselves - we want to offer this mostly to the locals and expats living in the country , but also all travellers will be welcome!
The neighborhood is peaceful; you will be surrounded by mostly small restaurants owned by very lovely locals.
There is a local fisherman village and market just 10 min bike ride away from us. We are 10km away from the city and it is reachable by scooter that you can easily rent from somebody for cheap.

What’s in it for you?
-Experience the authentic side of Cambodia.
-Learn about Khmer herbal wisdom and traditions.
-Deepen your own practice in a high-vibration environment.
-Enjoy our sea-view ice bath and the healing power of the ocean.
Take this chance to get to learn more about the Khmer culture by living among the locals. There is a lot to learn from their history and their life philosophy. Personally, that changed the way we see life. The Khmer are the warmest people I have met. Here you will get to meet a lot of travelers too; all having a unique story to share, and an opportunity for a lot of friendships to be made. We love learning languages too, we speak English, French, Macedonian, Croatian, Bulgarian and a bit of Spanish so if you speak or wish to learn any of these languages it would be a pleasure to exchange knowledge. In addition to that we like to do DIY projects to create anything from decorative objects to chairs and tables, so if you are feeling crafty it would be lot of fun. By helping us you would learn about business management as well. We would love to find a way to help the community as much as possible therefor any help will be greatly appreciated by the locals too.
Help
Hello beautiful souls! We are looking for four open-hearted volunteers to join our small team in our little slice of Cambodian paradise
We're not just a business; we're a home, and we invite you to be a part of it. We're looking for enthusiastic people to join us and share in the experience of running our place. You will assist us and our small team with light duties that make a big difference in our daily lives. This is about working together, not working for us.
A few ways you can help:
-Helpwith guests: Welcoming new arrivals, making them feel at home, and engaging with them to share stories and a good time.
-Property tidying: Keeping the public spaces clean and inviting for everyone.
-Caring for our garden: Pitching in with the small-scale gardening tasks that keep our property looking beautiful - mostly watering them.
Hours: Following Workaway guidelines, we ask for 5 hours of help per day, 5 days a week.
Note: We give priority to pairs (friends/couples) because rooms are shared.
Moreover, we are also hoping to organise a wellness retreat this year. This project is in its infancy phase but if you feel like you can help co-creating with us, please reach out. Yoga/meditation teachers, facilitators etc are all welcome!
Who You Are
We are looking for travelers with a flexible mindset and a positive "can-do" attitude. If you are organized, proactive, and excited about being part of a project from the ground up, you’ll fit right in.
Ready to join us?
If you’re ready for an authentic experience in a stunning part of the world, please send us a message! Tell us a bit about your journey, your skills, and why you’d like to help us transition into this new chapter.
Important: Please include the word "pineapple" in the subject of your message so we know you’ve read our full description. To respect our time and yours, messages without this word will be ignored!
We can't wait to meet you!

Accommodation
We are renting a house in the village nearby that has 3 rooms and two bathrooms with basic necessities , in a rural, local setting. Photos will be provided .It is 1km from the resort, walkable distance and we also provide bicycles. Two people per room, max 5 people in the house. You'll be staying in a traditional village home with a simple, authentic setting, reflecting the local Cambodian lifestyle. The house is functional and comfortable but not luxurious. You'll find a mattress on the floor (the common practice here), a basic but usable kitchen, and an icebox for cold storage (a fridge isn't available). Please note that expectations of Western-style amenities, especially in this rural setting, should be adjusted accordingly. This is a chance to live like a local!
What else ...
Since we are located on the beach itself there is nothing better than a relaxing beach time for your time off. If you are more of a sportive person the Cardamom mountains offer you trekking in the jungle. You can explore the waterfall, do a boat trip in the mangroves, go for a day in Koh Kong island . Koh Kong has a lush nature from mangroves,waterfalls, the mountains and the beach it is a heaven for nature lovers.

My voluntary service was a bit different though, as I was making a website for them in exchange for accommodation and a meal, so I was pretty independent when it came to my work. I wasn't doing any chores around the resort.

The place is absolutely wonderful and cheeply accessible, the tenants are adorable, understanding and fun people. The work there is exactly what is asked on the app, and you'll still have time to visit around and do activities. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer, 5 star would… read more
