    Hi there!

    My name is Suzanne and I'm searching for some help for a really nice restaurant and a brand new boutique hotel in the heart of Ameland! We are based in a little island by the North Sea. If you know how to cook or if you have any experience as a bartender, waitressing or housekeeping, than you are a right person in a right place!

    Ameland is a place where you can find more bicycles and horses than cars! Ballum is a small village with a real Dutch spirit. The owners are Fabian and Annelies and they run this place over 20 years now! They live here with their 4 children and parents.
