Description
Hi! I am Tom. After six years living in London, I moved back to Estonia to start my eco project in Häädemeeste (south-western corner of Estonia).
This land belong to my father who sadly passed away 2017 but I feel privileged and lucky that he believed in me enough to pass the responsibility and potential onto me. With ownership of this land being traced back to my great grandfather who built his farmhouse here in 1920, I understandably have an overwhelming connection to the land and making this succeed. It is this connection with the land and nature coupled with the incessant bustle of London that encouraged me to reflect and become flexi-vegan/vegetarian as I like to know what I am eating.
My mission is not to promote relocating to the countryside, but only to protect nature and make your carbon footprint smaller on this planet through consuming less, shopping smarter, recycling and reuse where we can. This is echoed with my philosophy of taking care of your body and quietening your mind ultimately enhancing our abilities to truly feel and listen.
Location is beautiful, it is only 300m from the sea and there are so much nature close by to explore (Tolkuse bog, Kabli Bird Station, Nigula Nature Reserv etc).
As I am a beginner living in the countryside your help and advice is much appreciated.
I am looking for motivated people who has previous experience.
I speak fluent English and Estonian.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travellers will have the chance to experience a peaceful and authentic part of Estonia, surrounded by forests, nature, and a slower countryside lifestyle.
They can learn about local life in Pärnumaa, Estonian nature, sauna culture, seasonal rhythms, and how a small nature retreat is developed and managed. Depending on their interests, they can also gain practical experience in hospitality, guest communication, preparing cabins, check-in and check-out, cleaning routines, light maintenance, gardening, and small outdoor improvement projects.
This is also connected to sustainability, nature-based tourism, and simple living, so travellers can learn more about creating a welcoming guest experience in a natural setting while respecting the environment.
There will also be opportunities to meet local people, visit nearby places, share meals and conversations, and exchange ideas about different cultures, ways of living, travel experiences, and personal projects. We hope travellers leave with new practical skills, good memories, and a deeper connection to Estonian nature and local life.
Help
We are looking for help during the summer season with different practical tasks here.
The main help would be connected to hospitality and guest experience, such as preparing the cabins before guests arrive, greeting guests, helping with check-in and check-out, cleaning after stays, changing bed linen, keeping the outdoor and indoor areas tidy, and making sure the place feels welcoming and well cared for.
There may also be some light maintenance and improvement work around the property, depending on your skills and interests. This could include small repairs, painting, gardening, firewood preparation, organising storage areas, or helping with simple outdoor projects.
We are a small nature escape, so the tasks can vary from day to day. We appreciate someone who is reliable, independent, practical, and attentive to detail. Experience in hospitality, cleaning, maintenance, gardening, or DIY is very welcome, but most important is a positive attitude and willingness to help.
