Laura and Tristan stayed here for about 3 weeks early winter. They did different jobs like painting, outdoor work, garden work etc. They are a happy, easy going and hard working couple. They are social and get along easy with other people. All tasks done well and they also had plenty of time to enjoy nature, hiking and other fun.

Pauline and Antony stayed with us at the end of summer. Lots of different tasks done well like gardening, digging, painting etc. They love fishing and most of their time off we could see them fishing for halibut. In fact they managed to catch several from our floating pier.
They are nice people and all work is done well.

Bastien and Aurore are almost too good to be true. They came as workaways and left close to fully skilles hosts. In fact they did all their tasks so well that one of them will come back next season for normal job as host for our business.
We could not been any happier with their stay here this summer.

We spent almost two months in beautiful Nordskot and had such a great time! As it was off season (jan/feb) we were very lucky to stay in their best apartment on the jetty, where we regularly saw the magical northern lights! Most of our work was at the old school (basecamp) and we did lots of painting and organising. We were given a list of jobs… read more
