Description
We are a small, heart-led team running a slow living guesthouse and creative community space in Papar, Sabah.
The space is founded and managed by Ann, who has a background in yoga, handmade craft, and community market organising. She focuses on community building, creative projects, and hosting guests.
William supports the space with logistics, maintenance, and practical operations. Together, we run the guesthouse in a simple and personal way.
We also collaborate with local friends, artisans, and market vendors during community events and weekend markets.
We are not a large commercial business — we value slow living, genuine connection, and meaningful cultural exchange. Volunteers will work closely with us in a relaxed, respectful, and supportive environment.

Accommodation
You will have a bed / private room with shred bathroom in our Lodge, once the kitchen ready cooking is allowed too.
As we are unable to provide fixed set meals daily, we will provide basic cooking ingredients for Workawayers to prepare their own meals in the shared kitchen. We hope this arrangement offers more flexibility and comfort during the stay.
