  Description

  We are a family owned and run community in Yesilyurt village looking to create a sustainable way of living. Started in 2015 and now looked after by mother Gunay and daughter Deniz. At Pendaya we want to keep the culture the Cyprus alive, while looking at creating a more sustainable way of living. If this is something you like, we would love your help to get even better!
  
  With a long family history, this seven-acre property includes:
  
  - A quiet and peaceful garden full of naturally grown fruits and vegetables, including figs, oranges, pomegranates and apricots. The garden includes many areas to relax and take in the beautiful sounds and scenery; and
  
  - An animal farm, home to sheep, chickens, rabbits and dogs who are free to roam the gardens and love spending time with our guests!
  
  We would love our workawayers to help make the garden and animal as beautiful as can be. As it is currently just two of us at the property, we need some help! The focus will be on cleaning and maintaining the garden, as well as the animal homes. If you are creative, we would also love some more colour and creativity around the place!
  
  Also on the premises there is a restaurant serving traditional Cypriot food offering guests a unique experience and taste that is lovingly and skilfully home made. We have 3-4 staff who run and manage the restaurant with us.
  
  Pendaya is truly special place where the culture of Cyprus can be felt.
