Live the island life at our cosy volunteer house, nestled in the heart of Perhentian Kecil’s only village. This charming spot offers three dorm-style bedrooms where you’ll share the space with fellow volunteers, fostering a sense of community and friendship. After a busy day of marine conservation work, unwind with home-cooked meals and stories of the day’s adventures. The house provides all the essentials, including bedding, mosquito nets, safe drinking water and fans to keep you comfortable.
For those seeking a bit more privacy and comfort, accommodation upgrades are available. This includes a private room featuring air conditioning and an en suite bathroom, perfect for individuals or couples looking for a bit of extra privacy and comfort.

Laundry facilities include a washing machine at the project house and a paid laundry service in the village, making it easy to keep your clothes fresh throughout your stay.
