About this space
Built by the hard work and love of many hands, this rustic dormitory rests at the heart of our farm. With cob, coconut husks and lumber from our land, these walls tell a story. Guests wake up to the sunrise or the forest cloud mist. Our dormitory beds have their own mosquito-nets and storage space for personal items. Enjoy access to a beautiful communal kitchen, Fruition Center, shared outside shower, shared dry-compost toilet and a laundry facility. Staying on an organic permaculture farm can offer many experiences, giving visitors a taste of what it is like to live a more self-sustaining lifestyle.
