  Description

  Hi everyone :)
  
  My name is Miri and I am the very happy owner of a kitesurfing lodge in Cape Town. I am looking for:
  - A mural artist (March - October)
  - 2 volunteers who would like to stay 2-6 months in high season (October -March) - mostly FULL
  - 1 or 2 more to help with getting the house ready for season (September/October)
  - Someone very creative or good at wood/metal work for an Afrikaburn artcar project (March-April)
  
  Our house is a place where kitesurfers, digital nomads and yoga lovers come together every year. Many guests stay for several weeks or even months, so you really get to know them and form amazing, life-long connections. The name means home and that's the vibe we're after, everyone who comes through is not just a guest, they're family.
  
  The house is 5 minutes walking distance to the kitesurfing beach and bars/supermarket/restaurants. It has a pool, hammocks, slackline, fireplace, braai and lots more fun to enjoy. For this position you will be staying either in a bed in the 8-dorm or in a tent in the back of the garden (your choice). We do loads of outdoor activities (hiking, vineyards, road-trips, food markets etc), you'll never get bored and it's always a vibe!
  
  Looking forward to meeting you :)
  
  P.S. we have a dog and you will fall in love (once she is done very loudly checking whether you're safe..)

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Cape Town is simply the best place in the world and I think you'll agree after staying here! You'll never get bored hiking, surfing, kiteboarding, diving, wine tasting, exploring beaches, eating at the countless amazing restaurants, partying and road tripping. Just to name a few.
  
  The house is in the Blouberg area, meaning 20-25 minutes by car from Cape Town centre.

  APRIL - OCTOBER
  Please note: Closed for season, the house is full of tenants instead. Different vibe, but still a lovely place to stay :)
  - Looking for a mural artist. Idea is to paint a desert-y/fynbos scene around the BBQ area, but there might be other projects as well
  
  SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER
  Minimum stay 3 weeks.
  - Someone who is happy getting their hands dirty, helping with maintenance. Painting/varnishing/gardening etc.
  
  MAIN SEASON - OCTOBER to MARCH (mostly FULL)
  Minimum stay 2 months.
  I need a couple of right hands to help with check-ins, general running &tidying of the place, admin/errands, maintenance and fun activities. Braai (BBQ), pizza-nights, hikes, kite excursions etc. These positions are for volunteers who are happy to stay a MINIMUM OF 2 MONTHS. Both positions below include these tasks, plus need to be able to do either of the following:
  
  -- Position 1 --
  Handyman & general help
  Must have pretty solid DIY/maintenance knowledge cause I'm hopeless. I will also ask for a bit of help keeping the garden tidy.
  CLOSED
  
  -- Position 2 --
  Yoga teacher & general help
  I'm looking for someone who is already able to teach a solid class. Classes are donation-based, all money is yours to keep. You will be teaching 3-5x a week.
  I will also ask for a bit of help keeping the house tidy (no serious cleaning, there is a cleaning lady present every single day).
  OPEN: March
  
  Just to be clear, both positions will also be helping with check-ins, errands, and fun activities.
  
  BONUS SKILLS: social media, artists
  
  This may sounds like a lot, but I promise it's really quite chilled. There are no fixed working hours, we take it as it comes. I 100% encourage you to have all the experiences in Cape Town, we all work together to keep things flexible and fun!
