Description
We live in a very little village 10 minutes away from the lake "Balaton". The village is surrounded by forests and green spaces. We are a big family with six children ( the first three ones are already very independent(17-15-13), the other ones are: 7-5-2. The husband is running a bio/selfmade - goat - cheese - business, so there is a lot of work with the farm too. Our new member of the family is donkey "Mikulas". If you love nature and want to recover yourself from the noise of the city, you will spent a lovely time with us.
In our experience hosting volunteers for 2-3 weeks works the best for us - after that we usually need some time of our own.

It was my first workaway and it couldn’t be better. I spent almost a week with this family and we shared very good moments. I felt like a part of their family. They opened their house, their family and they were really kind and helpful in every moment.

We had a fun time with Manuela. We laughed and worked a lot. It didn't matter for her whether she was working alone or with us, doing workshop for our children or coming with us to family programs: she was always cheerful and open minded. A very good workawayer!

When Nicole arrived with her daughter Julie, there was a total mess around us. But she cleaned up everything very sensitively and without even noticing her. Also in the following days she kept on tidieng and creating order everywhere needed. Julie was delighted about the toys and enjoyed the animals a lot.

Unfortunately we couldn't enjoy Feon's company more than a week, but we are very grateful for these days. Feon was a great help in the kitchen, very friendly with our children and cooked us an exquisite dinner. We are happy that we got the chance to meet her and to be able to learn a little bit about Singapore!

It was a pleasure to meet Balint, Anna and their six beautiful kids. Both Balint and Anna are very welcoming and are always curious to know about me and my country . After that, Anna would even explain to her children. I'm really impressed by how they raise the kids so well with much love and patience.

Our family (and friends) had a wonderful time with Linn. She has a very good nature: calm, cheerful, sociable.

I had the best time at Anna and Balint's place.

Balint and Anna hosted us for a week, but we wish it was more. They are a family where love and compassion is not just shown towards guests and visitors, but it is something they live by and pass on to their kids. It was a lovely experience to see them live as a family, patient and calm towards each other and every day challenges. Balint did a… read more

It was a big adventure getting to know this family and its lifestyle. Ron worked the whole day and built us a beautiful wooden fence. Kata helped us in the kitchen and around the house.

Jamie and David is a very nice couple. Coming from the sonny California they worked heroicly outside in the cold hungarian winter. They befriended our children surprisingly fast which was really extra help and joy for us.
Very good workawayers - we can highly recommend them!

Balint and Anna were fantastic hosts. It was simply such an enjoyable experience spending time with their family. We mainly worked on the beginning stages of replanting a vineyard, but also helped in the house when raining. Balint has a wonderful business making cheese and it was wonderful to gain knowledge about artisan cheese making.

I felt very happy with Balint, Anna and his family during ten days that i spent with them, working with the wood, helping them to spent a better winter. It was very funny to cook mexican food for the whole family. They are very organized in order to give you the best, the room also is very confortable. I recomend them very much. Thanks!

Rotem and Asaf are a truly exciting, nice, friendly couple. They mastered everything smartly and with ease: cheese making, preparing wood, cleaning the house, etc etc. We had good conversations and we laughed a lot. It was also for the kids very good experience. What a pitty that they only stayed for ten days!

I highly recommend working for this… read more
