I had and incredible& unforgetable time in Muizenberg! We were out in the waves almost everyday and really felt the „surf&chill“ vibe in Muizenberg.

Finishing off my travels last week in New Zealand, I'm able to say that working here was an amazing start to my gap year! The backpackers is super cozy and Jamie and everyone else made me feel welcome straight away. Muizenberg is great for surfing or if you're just looking for a chilled place in the sun. Cheers for the awesome time, guys x

Diego did not pitch up for his workaway, and did not give any notice or let us know. This put us in a difficult position as we were counting on him at this time.
