Informationen

Beschreibung
We are a Norwegian/English family living in the beautiful area of Nesodden outside Oslo. A couple of years ago we moved into a house which needs both maintenance, painting, and cleaning! In addition we have 16 chickens, 4 cats, and many plans and projects. We are often quite busy, and would love to have some help with some of these!

Unterkunft
You will live in a small cabin in our garden, a few meters from our main house. There is a kitchen with a fridge and cooker, a bedroom with two beds as well as a livingroom with a sofa that can be transformed into a (double) bed, and a very simple bathroom with an incineration toilet. There is no running water in the cabin at the moment, but drinking water will be available and you can use the shower and washing machine in the main house at times that we agree upon. You will have space to yourself to enjoy your spare time.
Was noch ...
You can walk along the coast or in the forest, and relax in quiet surroundings, or you can hop on a bus and a scenic boat trip to visit the city of Oslo. Nesodden offers the best of both worlds!

Among the tasks that Benjamin helped with were chopping wood, painting walls and window frames, looking after chickens, cooking (very nice) lunches, and cleaning. He is also a very nice and friendly person. Thank you,… read more

Vom Workawayer (Philipp & Malvine) für Host

I had a very good time in Nesodden! It's nice to be so close to Oslo to be able to visit the city and get to do some activities. The tasks were easy to understand and didn't require any specific skills I didn't have. I also had a lot of time to spend by myself or with my roommate, which worked out quite well. Mark and Hilde are very nice and… read more

Sometimes, when you stay with people for just a short time, you feel like you've known them for longer.

This happened to me when I stayed with this lovely family, even if it was only for a few days. They are warmhearted, easy-going people who made me feel very welcome and integrated me in their family life. For example, there was a little family… read more
