Description
I have previously enjoyed hosted workawayers in New Zealand, now I am living in Erftstadt, , North Rhine Westfalen.
We are older parents of a busy 15 month old and we would love someone to help us out,we have recently brought a new house in Brühl, a nearby town, and are in the process of renovating so a pair of extra hands would be great with some physical work involved.
We are 20kms from Cologne with the bus stop right over the street, it's about 50 mins to the centre of the city.
We offer you a comfortable self contained apartment and food .
We are willing to work in with anyone who may want to work 4 to 5 days and then have a long weekend off to look around.
I'm currently a student and my husband works mostly from home, we can also offer a bicycle.
Experience with small children preferred.

I stayed with Sandra and Lewis for week in November and they made my stay very enjoyable ! Awesome family and very caring :) I helped weeding the garden, which wasn't too hard. Oamaru is a pretty little town with a nice Victorian Quarter, I'd definitely recommend you to spend some time with these great people !

WE loved having Katleen stay with us. She fitted into our family home perfectly and was very helpful in the garden and also an excellent baker of Christmas treats to eat. We highly recommend her.

Clement was only here for 3 nights and worked very hard completing our painting project.
We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Clement and it was wonderful to have him stay, he also made very good friends with our 2 year old grandson who was visiting.

We thoroughly enjoyed having Daniel to stay and work for us, he fitted in well to our family and home.
He works very well and we are more than happy with the quality of his painting skills. He even cooked a beautiful Mexican dinner for us.

If workaway would have 5 smile faces option available, I'd have chosen that. Sandra and Lewis are some of the kindest, nicest, most down to earth people I've ever met. Since the moment I got there they made me feel at home. I got very well taken care. And the work, it is neither backbreaking nor long, we focused on painting only a couple of hours… read more

Sandra and Lewis are great hosts! From the first moment I felt very welcomed, more like a guest than a workaway.
I had a good look around with Lewis on his motorbike :) and saw the sweet little Pinguins.
The work was varied: we made firewood, mowed the lawns, cleaning and I did some cooking and baking.
Thanks so much for everything, i really… read more

Talitha was a perfect workaway guest. A friendly, quiet, polite and considerate person to share our home with.
Talitha was also very adaptable- we had planned for her to do gardening but the weather was not suitable so she did lots of cleaning instead as well as cooking for the family and some home baking (Delicious). She was very conscientious… read more

I had a wonderful time. Sandra and Lewis are great hosts and they showed me the area (sightseeing). Oamaru is beautiful and there are really nice things you can do and see. The work was good except a little bus less sometimes ;).
Thank you so much for my great time. I enjoyed my stay and had a lovely birthday evening :).
I just can highly… read more
