Descrição
We are: Jurgen (the human), Waya & Hakan (the border collies) and Kita, Denali & Balobi (the cats) and live off-grid at our eco-friendly Mountain Retreat (our down to earth guest farm). It's all about digital detox eco-tourism, hiking trails, rock climbing, mountain trekking, canyoning and then some adventure activities. Our organic/permaculture garden is still growing, but will eventually feed us and more. Our projects where help is needed is simply to maintaining this dream ... and then some help in our main income: Guest cottages which need cleaning...

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Here you'll get a good dose of nature, eco-friendliness, conscious living in close range of a wild mountain environment. You'll learn hands on farm skills and how to prepare healthy wholesome meals, when ever possible straight from our organic garden.
Ajuda
Volunteering tasks range from fieldwork, building & renovation, hiking trail maintenance, permaculture gardening, composting, feeding chicken, as well as cleaning of guest cottages, helping in our kitchen etc.
Where possible we all work together in a team, however volunteers need to be able to work on their own and be comfortable with the remoteness of the farm, limited WiFi yet no mobile phone connection. Get ready for a Digital Detox (if you choose)!
We are looking for outdoorsy, hands-on volunteers (bring your hiking boots!). Practical experience is a bonus!

I've never felt 2 weeks being so short in my life. Luckily i caught Jurgen and Ninon when they were in Cape Town,so we all drove up to the place.

Thanks for your awesome review about your stay here! We can only echo the joy and gratitude!! what started off with a wobbly miss-identification (two different Jonas' in the system) lead quickly to a supportive, engaged and enthusiastic experience. Thanks for your hard work, building trails through rocky mountains, sifting rocks from… read more

The work was hard, but very enjoyable, because the tasks… read more
