Vom Workawayer (Ludmila) für Host

Sorry for the late feedback!

Well, where can I start? I stayed for a month and a half and I absolutely loved living with Marga, Sikko, Tom, Emma and Rayan. I felt super welcomed and part of the family from the first day. You will be more of a family member than a simple Workaway. The family is very kind, generous and friendly. They helped me a… read more

My partner and I had the most wholesome time on our first Workaway staying with Marga and Sikko's beautiful family. We were welcomed from day 1 and Marga always made sure we had everything we needed and that we were comfortable. We had warm, sunny weather for the majority of the time we were in Avenhorn so we got to enjoy their beautiful property… read more

I stayed with Sikko & Marga for a little over 2 weeks and it was an excellent stay. They’re very welcoming people and they ensured that I was comfortable and had a positive experience. The house is beautiful and the food was delicious - I ate way too much lol.

The work at that time of year was mostly gardening and clearing the weeds from the… read more

Vom Workawayer (Kiera & Payton) für Host

What a wonderful stay we had in Avenhoorn! We stayed with Sikko, Marga and Ryan for the month of June 2023 as the final workaway of our first European trip. We worked in their massive garden and watched their wonderful old pup Ryan while they were out of the house. They are the best hosts we could have ever asked for! They preloaded bus passes so… read more

Julia and Sam are the Workaway couple you hope for. They are good company and work very hard and do outstanding jobs. They sanded and painted 3 bridges in our garden, they did a lot of maintenance on woodwork around the poolarea and garden furniture.
Also our chickens and dog were spoiled by their attention.
They have done an incredibly amount of… read more

Vom Workawayer (Samuel) für Host

Marga, Sikko, Tom, Ryan and the Queen of the Netherlands - Emma. What a wonderful time we had with you in Avenhoorn, from the quiet escapades to spill my heart to a chicken or wander around the house constantly questioning whether I should swipe the last piece of cake or sweet bread.

Marga, the mother, is a brilliant cook, always going out of… read more her way to ensure she is the perfect host and diligent in her ability to make you feel like you are being taken care of. Unfortunately, I arrived quite sick and I worried she would not respond so kindly to it, but she handled it in stride and gave me the necessary time to adjust. She is highly knowledgeable on topics such as nutrition and environment, although I'm sure we would have discovered more about her erudite aspect given more time with her.

The children, Tom and Emma, were really quite fun. Emma is a vibrant personality and we cant wait to see where she goes, although she could look both ways before driving across a street ;) God speed to the cyclists! lol. Tom on the other hand could make it as a card shark in Uno or as a professional driver. We hope you guys stay in touch.

The family in general is a proper one, amounting in a cultural exchange. They like to joke and of course appreciate your differences. I would say that for the most part they were busy during our stay here (even Tom and Emma with exams), but our time was still well spent and even old Ryan came to love us after a week alone watching the house.

During our time, Julia and I were able to attend Kings Day, which was a brilliant excuse to party with thousands of people on the streets of Amsterdam. April is a great time to come! We also saw the Tulips in bloom and spent most of our days off at the beach (but we warn you its a 2 hour bike). The work really quite varies, but mainly it is simple garden work. For us it was almost exclusively wood sanding and painting, but some lucky workers in the future will be able to handle larger tasks in the tennis court (currently unusable) or the back (which someone for the love of Ryan please convince Tom to make into a techno party ground). As a long time workawayer, I would say that the work is very straightforward and manageable with plenty of time to enjoy the property and the village.

PS tell my girls I say "COO CLUCK A LUCK coo cloop. " They will know what it means ;)

If any workawayers would like to know more information, please feel free to reach out to me. My WhatsApp is on my profile and I am on this site daily. I feel we should be able to communicate as well about our experiences.

Much love to the family and until we see each other again,
Sam and Julia.

We absolutely loved our time at this workaway! Had so much fun in the garden helping with the veggie patch and the family was incredibly generous and kind during our stay there.

Lilla and Zoe,
We can't thank you enough for your help. It was really more a mans job, but a 'man' wouldn't have been able to do the job better then you did!!! We enjoyed meeting you and learning a bit more about Hungarian culture and showing you a bit of the Netherlands and the Dutch way of living.
Maybe we will meet again. Do come back another… read more

We stayed with this family for a week but we wish it could have been more . We helped with the installation of their new pool, so we can say that we helped to build something long- lasting. They showed us the Dutch way of life and took us sightseeing too. :)
Thank you for everything and good luck with your future projects!
