Stunning location adjoining Paparoa National Park. We are an off the beaten track hostel nestled in the native rainforest, surrounded by rugged mountains and spectacular coastline. There are some wonderful walking tracks and the awesome Pancake Rocks just 3km away. Our hostel is a retreat away from all the hustle and bustle of traveling. Come and experience the spectacular West Coast and help us out. Enjoy baking fresh bread and muffins for the guests but mainly it will be cleaning the houses to a high standard and bush maintenance for 4-5 hrs a day in return for FREE accommodation in a mixed dorm, wonderful food also provided and the use of laundry facilities. Other duties may include track & building maintenance, clearing guttering, painting, gardening, weeding & composting.
We are looking for a minimum stay of two weeks but would love to have you stay longer (1 month preferred). Enjoy cosy chats around the dinner table in our staff house and join our small friendly team and help us look after this spot in paradise for a while. There is lots to do for your time off including spectacular coastline to explore, beautiful beaches, river walks, fishing, tree planting, jade carving, knife making and kayaking close by. After work relax ~ restore ~ explore.
We look forward to hearing from you.
