It was my first experience on a permaculture farm. I and my workawayer colleagues were welcomed by the host Lele. In the time (5 weeks) we cut a lot of trees and planted new ones. I was able to learn a lot about nature during that time and I always enjoyed the chess games very much

definitely a great recommendation for everyone

I'm so sad that I have to leave earlier due to my emergency situation. This place is so perfect, living in the nature with all the lovely plants and animals.

P'Lele is the best! He's so friendly and very kind. I wish I could go back there again and stay longer next time!

See you again ka!

We had such a wonderful time living in the village with Lelle. We were able to learn about permaculture while also just enjoying ourselves. There are plenty of places to see nearby and there are a few motorbikes you can take out for your days off. Our favorite spots to visit were the national park and the hot springs. Lelle was an amazing host who… read more

Would loved to have stayed at the village longer but unfortunately I had to move on due to flight arrangements. The other volunteers I met at the village made my time there, I also fell in love with the dogs and chickens! It’s a beautiful little village, Lelly and Cat have some great ideas and are very welcoming, interesting, and happy people.
