Can I bring my dog/cat?

We have no pet policy for visitors. They are not allowed indoors as current or future Sunseeders might be allergic and for sanitary reasons. On top of that, there are many animals in the village that do not belong to Sunseed, we have no supervision over them and they might not get along well with your companion. If you wish to visit us, please leave your pet under the care of someone trusted in the place that you live.

How many people live in Sunseed?

Sunseed is a transient group and the number of people staying here is changing on a daily basis. The number of inhabitants can go down to 10 in the low season, and up to 35 in the high season. 

Do you offer work exchange? / Can I come with the camper van (for free)?

We do not offer work exchanges. If you are interested in joining the team please have a look at our staff vacancies page. Camping or camper vans are not allowed since we are living in the natural reserve.

Can kids/minors come to Sunseed?

No. We do not have the facilities for children in our community at the moment.

I have a disability. Can I come?

If you have physical limitations please bear in mind that the village terrain is very uneven, with lots of steps and most areas are not wheelchair accessible. 


Our staff are not trained in hosting people with physical disabilities or mental health problems, so we would ask you to email us first to discuss your needs and we will do our best to accommodate you.
