As a member of the staff we ask you as a volunteer to be aware of the following guidelines and respect them during your time with us:
ATMOSPHERE: We are a surf yoga veggie guesthouse and most of our guests are here to step back from the world and get some peace & quiet. It is really important that as a volunteer you understand and respect this, and act accordingly. All the guests are different and it is important volunteers are sensitive to the requirements of the different people.
TREATMENTS: Please do not offer or give any treatments, healings or massages to any of the guests unless you are specifically here to do that.

RELATIONS WITH GUESTS: Volunteers representing us and it is important as such you ensure all your relations with the guests are professional and appropriate. We encourage informality in the relations between staff, guests and volunteers; however certain lines should not be crossed. (e.g.: relations of an intimate nature).
YOUR LIVING SPACE: It is very important that you observe tidiness and cleanliness in your own space at all times. You are responsible to make your own bed every day, wash your sheets and towels and keep your clothes and personal items tidy.
