    Description

    Hello, and thank you for viewing our profile. Just a quick update, we currently aren’t looking to host at the moment. We closed the cafe in February for some much needed renovations, of course with the help of some very good Workawayers. Although there are still many things that need looking at and still ideas and dreams for the cafe I want to do, we have little funds for any projects nor too much time on our hands with training new staff and implementing new ideas and dishes into the menu.

    I believe that in the near future we will have time and money again but currently not.

    We really appreciate all the messages, support and amazing help that we have had during our journey from our guests in Workaway. For us it has been great.

    We speak English and Spanish, have a room, can offer meals. Our place is a block away from the metro in a nice location of Santiago with ample bars and restaurants around plus a the plaza de Ñuñoa at the end of the block(30 second walk). Are cafe is open and the garden is an oasis in the area. lots of local birds come to visit which is very nice.

    Help

    Update, this February/March, we will be changing a few things at our cafe and will need help, unfortunatly we will only consider/give priority to those who have some experience in/are good with DIY or basic construction ideas.

    Ideally too, we prefer guests whom are willing to stay for more than one week. Previous succesful workawayers who we have hosted have stayed for long duractions. We have also welcomed back previous workawayers while they travel through santiago on their travels around Chile.


    If you’re good with wood (some basic carpentry skills) you would be warmly welcome. Our front and back garden would also appreciate help, again, if you have knowledge or are willing that would be great.

    We have have a great common area with WiFi (the cafe). Although not all of the garden can reach the router, and we have limited power sockets (a potential project)

  • Space for parking camper vans

    Space for parking camper vans

    We have inside parking at the property although too small for a camper due to an archway. That said, we also have the driveway and space outside where we have already hosted workawayers and their van.

  • Can possibly accept pets

    Can possibly accept pets

    we could host pets but while the cafe is open, we are a pet friendly cafe, and the doors are open so there is always the possibility for an escape..
