It’s easy to be reeled in by the tranquil lifestyle of the Gansbaai community. Our volunteer houses mirror that minimalist beachtown aesthetic that keeps people coming back to the charming fishing village. You’ll stay in dorm-style accommodation comprising four cottages, each with a sleek design, and a new building that can accommodate up to 40 individuals. Sleeping arrangements and bathrooms are shared, with bedding and a weekly cleaning service provided.
Each unit has a kitchenette, but the main cooking takes place in the communal kitchen, along with a nearby dining room and sitting area – perfect for bonding over a delicious meal! Other amenities include a lecture room, workspaces, a pool for those hot, summer days and an activity hall with weights, table tennis, pool, foosball and various board games.Â
Stay connected with Wi-Fi and satellite TV, and there’s an inverter for power outages. It’s not just comfortable – it’s the perfect space for a fantastic experience!
