Description
Welcome to our magical place!
This has been a life long dream of English Artist and Owner - Albert. To create an enchanted forest themed homestay and artist community in a quiet beautiful place where people can escape the bustle of the city, work away get creative or just unwind in nature. We hope to create a magical experience that allows us to re-live our childhood fantasies and enter the realm of the fairies.
We have beautiful old property outside Đà Nẵng, and are looking for people to help build it into an artist community homestay. The period house is located at the base of the Ba Na Hills and is surrounded by the mountainous landscape. Easy access to hiking trails and the famous Golden Hands Bridge and not far from the main Hanoi - Saigon road. It is a beautiful quiet timeless corner of the world. The spacious garden overlooks a meadowed valley where the sun sets over the mountain. We are 13km from the coast and 20km outside of Danang.
Currently we are working on 2 sites, , just 2 km apart. However, we are requesting that volunteers should hire a scooter for the duration of their experience or be with someone that can drive one.
We are just looking for lovely people to bring new skills and energy to our community, to help us build beautiful dreams in a beautiful place.
See you in here
NB: We had no idea how popular we would be on workaway so please forgive us if we don't get back to you straight away, we are very busy at present. Please be specific about your dates so we are able to accommodate. We feel truly blessed by your interest and willingness to join our project. I can assure that we read all your messages and consider everyone's application with care. Now we are a functioning homestay with accommodation to suit all budgets, the value of bed space has increased and so please give us grace as everyday we get new beautiful time spent application's that we are unable to accommodate. Please be patient as organising travellers can be like herding cats! So often spaces appear unexpectedly and last minute. Please do not be disheartened if you have not heard from us , but know that we are aware of you all and blessed by your willingness.
Blessings, love, safe travels and
See you here✨️
