    Description

    We are a retired Swiss couple living on a beautiful tanya—a large farmhouse—in the heart of the famous Hungarian puszta. A lovely garden and a spacious swimming pool invite you to relax and enjoy your time here.

    Our guesthouse offers a charming room with a en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, and internet access—all ready for your stay.

    Surrounding our home are wide pastures for our horses. We have four: one English thoroughbred, two Hungarian horses for both carriage driving and riding, and one Holsteiner mare.

    We also share our home with six dogs, all rescued either from shelters or directly off the streets.

    We would be happy to welcome a volunteer who loves horses and dogs and is an experienced, confident rider. Help with the garden, pastures, and occasionally cooking nice meals 😊would also be greatly appreciated.

    Since we live in the middle of the puszta, a driving license would be very useful. We provide an old station wagon that our Workawayers can use.

    The nearest airport is just an hour away by car. Budget airlines like EasyJet, Wizz Air, and others fly to Budapest. From the airport, you can reach us by train in about 1.5 hours, with tickets costing around €12. We’ll gladly pick you up at the train station in Kistelek.

    We only host Workawayers who can stay for a minimum of two weeks—though longer stays are even more welcome!

    We’re really looking forward to welcoming you to our tanya!😊😊
