THE VOLUNTEER HOUSE

The Otra Cosa Network volunteer house is the former family home of OCN Directors Peter and Juany Murphy and operates as both the OCN Office and space for up to five OCN volunteers. The house is situated a five minutes walk from Huanchaco beach, in a relatively quiet area of town but also close to all amenities and the lively main street Los Pinos.

This comfortable, modern, white house and lovely garden (with passion fruit trees) is divided into several areas. On the ground floor is the kitchen and lounge/dining room for common use by volunteers and a separate area with the two downstairs bedrooms and shared bathroom. On the first floor are the two upstairs bedrooms, shared bathroom and office space, as well as the accommodation of one of the Assistant Managers and of the Operations Manager. On the second floor is the OCN Office, the accommodation of the other Assistant Manager and an open roof space for use by volunteers to wash and hang laundry in the summer months.


We need sensible, mature volunteers with respect for our organisation, the Volunteer House rules and other volunteers and neighbours. This is not a party house, but volunteers can make this comfortable setting their home in Peru. For this reason we have set a minimum age requirement of 18.


The volunteer house is a very affordable option for accommodation in Huanchaco, especially in the summer months (December – March) when local hostels raise their prices.
