Although it started off being a bit haywired, I found everybody to be rather prepared and seasoned in dealing with what one could call life's caprices and circumstances. I enjoyed my stay and was well received. Fair weather and the best to you all!

Rob worked with us for just over a month and is probably the best volunteer ever. He is super helpful even when off shift and always created a lekker vibe. He always created a good atmosphere and had great energy when socializing with guests and the others and made a great family like vibe.

This place is definitely worth a visit!
Staying with the guys in J-Bay was pure pleasure. There is so much to do and see in J-Bay, watching the surfers, catching waves by yourself, beautiful beaches, cuddle with the dogs all day (:, braai nights and much more. My time there has gone by way too fast.
Thanks for having me, I'll be back some day :)

Spent a few months here during the Jbay open. Daz is a cool guy. Lots of friendly local faces also hang around the hostel so you really feel like a part of the town by the time you leave. Surf was rad, job was laid back and people were usually flexible about switching shifts and giving you extra time here and there when the waves were cookin'.

It was a great experience having Teresa & Chiara volunteering with us.
As young as the girls were i was very happy with the professionalism they brought to the table. Working with the guests, admin and handling payments was smooth running and they picked it up very quickly.
I would have them back any time!

Fun, sweet and energetic girl that will only make your place a pleasure to be around.
As young as she was she picked up the job at hand very quickly and was willing to help out, even when not on 'shift'.
I'd have no problems with having her helping us out again.
