Description
Hi! We are Zindi and Werner and we live with our 2 kids near Cahuita, located on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. We are originally from the Netherlands, but now we manage a small lodge. We have a big garden with many types of fruit trees, a dog and 4 chickens. We are looking for a couple (or 2 friends) to help out with our lodge and our kids. But you will also have enough free time to explore all the beautiful beaches, national parks and waterfalls in the area!
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Babysitting and creative play
Help around the house

General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will be able to enjoy life in the Caribbean. Our lodge is located about 6 km from Cahuita and 18 km from Puerto Viejo. You can learn how to surf, join yoga lessons, discover beautifull beaches. We only work with Costa Ricans, so being here can help you improve your Spanish and learn more about the Tico lifestyle. As we also live on-site, we look forward to sharing our experience with running a hotel and living in Costa Rica.

We offer a private room with a double bed and a private bathroom with hot water. You will have access to the shared bar area of the hotel for cooking. We will provide you with basic groceries such as coffee, tea, rice, bread, beans and pasta so you can make 3 meals a day!
What else ...
A car or scooter will make your life easier. However, you will be welcome to join us for a ride to town and we can provide a bike (however, this will take around 35 minutes to Cahuita and 25 to the closest beach).
