About the Host:
Almost two years in the making and the dream is alive and kicking...
Finally fulfilling my dream of opening up my guesthouse by the beach and sharing my positive experience with my guests. My guesthouse/hostel/hotel is in Weligama across the road from the main surf point where you can enjoy year-round surf conditions suitable for learners, beginners and intermediate.
I am an avid SUP surfer and the location of the house so close to the surf point means I, my guests, and you, can enjoy a lot of in-water time during your breaks.

We currently employ around 13-15 national staff within the season covering roles in housekeeping, kitchen, restaurant, reception and accounting/bookkeeping, we also regularly outsource laborers for carpentry, plumbing, artists to support the local community.

Skills that have the priority right now:
- Multitasking people with an eye for detail and with some hospitality experience.
- Help build a database of quality media footage, video/photo and take on social media marketing.

All our workawayers need to have the ability to be multitasking, openminded and provide useful information for the guests adding an overall positive colorful vibe around the guesthouse is a plus.
Well mannered, people person, positive and respectful attitude and leading a healthy lifestyle.
