Description
We have a wonderful old farm by the Hardangerfjord who needs a little TLC. The fantastic dogs need some looking after once in a while, and the vegetables-garden sometimes needs a little attention. Some day to day help in the house and sometime outside is what we are looking for. We are quite far from anywhere, but still close to a everything - 90 min from Bergen airport. In winter, languages are what we are looking to learn. German that is.

What else ...
You are most welcome. You will be able to get to know western fjord Norway. Quiet, clean, safe, no nonsens community. A place where you dont have to lock your car or your house- and if you forget your phone at your table at the local resturant, it will still sitt on its spot when you come to fetch it 4 hours later - it is nice. 2 h from Bergen in thats your thing, 1 h from a glacier- and the only castle in Norway! (Rosendal) We can offer the best pancakes in the province, and we have sereval km of private fjord and even more forrests and mountians! You will like it here. We also have an ekstra car if you want to take a drive
