Description
Hello everyone...
we are Désirée & Markus and we are hosting volunteers through Workaway for our projects since around twelve years.
For our conscious, mindful and vegetarian place we are hosting regularly long-term volunteers or volunteer couples to support us with the household, cleaning the house, gardening, maintenance of our place and for smaller handyman and DIY projects.
We are currently looking for volunteers for 2026:
2 volunteers for a long term stay (preferably for some months)
🧹🛏️ -> One person is usually responsible for cleaning the house on a daily base and keeping it tidy .
-> So you should be a tidy person and lie to clean.
-> needed from 24th or 25th of January
🌿🛠️ -> And the second person for gardening, maintenance, sometimes painting and small handyman tasks
-> Some gardening or handyman experiences would be good
-> needed from approx. 1st of March
If you are a couple and would like to come together from end of January on, this would be possible as well.
🕒 Work and exchange:
🌨️ In the fall and winter season (from November till April, we offer accommodation only (without food) in exchange for 3 hours of work per day, 5 days a week (usually Monday to Friday but might change sometimes depending the needs).
☀️ In the spring and summer season (from May till October), we offer an exchange of accommodation and food in return for 5 hours of work per day, 5 days a week (usually Monday to Friday but might change sometimes depending the needs).
🛌 Accommodation:
– we have one private volunteer room available in the house, for one volunteer
- the second volunteer accommodation is a caravan on the property
- if you are coming as a couple you can share the volunteer room inside the house
🧘🏼♀️Philosophy:
Our project is a conscious and mindful space with the intention of living sustainably, in harmony with nature, and of offering a place where people can find inner balance and healing.
We are a vegetarian, alcohol-free and smoke-free environment, and we ask everyone who comes here to respect these principles.
We are looking for volunteers who are reflective, conscious, and aligned with our vegetarian, alcohol-free and smoke-free philosophy. If you’re seeking a peaceful setting and enjoy contributing to a beautiful and meaningful place, we’d be happy to hear from you.
If you create artwork, or if you are a yoga teacher or massage therapist, or you are a good cook, there may also be opportunities from time to time to share your offers here.
🏡 Living and Volunteering With Us:
In winter, life here is naturally quieter and more solitary. We usually host just one volunteer during this season, so it’s important that the person feels comfortable spending time on their own, as we’re not a big community.
In summer, the energy shifts a bit — the place is busier, and we usually have at least two volunteers, which makes the atmosphere more social and lively.
The ideal situation would be a couple or two friends, as they often enjoy the experience even more when they can share it with someone close.
🏞️About our place:
Our place is a magical, hidden oasis with a charming, playful Andalusian country house and a lush green garden amidst the Andalusian dry vegetation, situated on a fresh river and surrounded by babbling water canals.
We are located near the village of Zahara de la Sierra in the province of Cádiz in the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, which offers great mountain and hiking areas. It's a great place to reconnect with nature.
We are looking forward to hearing from you!
Désirée & Markus

You will have time to enjoy our beautiful little oasis and explore the stunning Sierra de Grazalema, with its hiking trails, water sports like canoeing and paddleboarding and even paragliding adventures.
Aide
We are looking for someone to join and support our project — couples are especially welcome — who enjoys helping with tasks such as gardening, watering, weeding, sweeping, cleaning, household chores, general maintenance, and small repairs. From time to time, there are also larger projects like digging, land clearing, collecting stones, helping with wood, planting, pruning, and maintaining olive and fruit trees. For these tasks, we usually have two volunteers, so work can be shared according to individual skills and interests.
As a mindful space focused on inner transformation, we are looking for conscious and reflective volunteers who are familiar with their own inner work and able to navigate and reflect on their personal processes. We ask volunteers to respect our vegetarian lifestyle (at least while at our place) and our alcohol-free and smoke-free environment.
We welcome Workawayers for a minimum of 4 weeks (unless there are last-minute requests).
Depending on the season and workload the requested help in fall and summer is 5 hours of work per day on 5 days a week (in exchange for accommodation and food), and during the fall and winter season, 3 hours per day on 5 days a week (in exchange for accommodation only).
This is a place to contribute, learn and connect with nature, while also enjoying moments of calm, reflection, and community.

Hébergement
Accommodation:
Volunteers can stay in a volunteer room, a caravan, or a glamping bell tent, depending on current availability. If you stay in the bell tent and there are free rooms on hot summer days when we have no guests, you may move into one of our guest rooms during that time.
The house has a shared living room, kitchen, and bathroom, as well as a compost toilet and an outdoor shower.
In your free time, you can enjoy the garden, the river, and the small pool (in summer), or go hiking in the surrounding area.
Autres infos...
We offer you a stay in beautiful natural surroundings and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
We usually do the grocery shopping once a week and either you will buy your food (usually in fall and winter season) or we will provide all the food you need (in spring and summer season). And you would prepare your own meals.
Please note that our place is located 3 km (about a 45-minute walk) from the nearest village, Zahara de la Sierra. We cannot provide a car, but you’re welcome to join one of our crew members on the weekly shopping trip, or we’ll try to organize a lift for you when needed.

Kayu
Our pitch-black panther Kayu was found by us on the street.
After what appeared to be a car accident, we discovered him lying in a pool of blood, assuming he was dead.
But when we tried to move him off the road, to our surprise and joy, he began to move — and he miraculously survived.
He only lost one ear and was lovingly adopted by our mama cat Mala.
Trato
The white and grey patterned house cat of Cinco Lunas, Trato, has been living here for about 3 years.
He doesn’t like dogs. They should watch out for him.
Mala
The black-golden brindle mother cat Mala is a rescue cat from a dog sehlter. She was taken in by us along with her five kittens.
Her kittens have since been adopted, but the super cuddly Mala is staying with us.
