Description
We are Sabine (53), Reinhard (60) and a gentle dog named Rico managing 7500 m² (80.000 sqft) land with several buildings on two locations in 14 km distance. Sometimes our son Max (26) living 14 km away is visiting us. We perform a nature-loving life growing our own food and get our organic meet and eggs by growing quails and hunting in the forest.

Beside the garden a new wooden cover for the garage and the built of a quail cage will be the major projects for 2022.

Zara helped us excellently in the household, dog sitting, weeding and watering in the garden as well as some reconstruction works. We enjoyed her Persian cooking capabilities. She is a down-to-earth person, integrated immediatelly in our family and we loved the communication with Zara on various subjects.

Great experience with wonderful people. I was nervous as this was my first experience but I got a very good first impression on video call and when I arrived they made me feel home right away. They were kind, caring, generous, patient,... OK I stop before turning the review to a love letter, but they were everything I wished for and more. A very… read more

Staying with Reinhard and Sabine was such a wonderful work away experience. During the three weeks I stayed, I primarily worked in the garden helping to prepare vegetables for the summer (repotting, watering, planting, etc).
Reinhard and Sabine are both wonderful people and I enjoyed spending time and having conversations with them during my… read more

Fabio stayed 4 weeks with us. He is a very polite and pleasant person. Fabio immediatelly integrated in our family and enriched our living together.

I will never forget our cultural trips, where Sabine was… read more

Giada was 5 1/2 weeks in our house during COVID-19. She helped us preparing the garden for winter time, house reconstruction as painting walls and wood, supported us in daily cooking and general household. As she was familiar with dogs she was the first Workawayer where we had full confidence when she was out with our dog for a walk. There never… read more

I couldn't ask for a first better workaway experience!
Reinhard, Sabine, Max and Rico are a very lovely, kind and caring family and I felt very welcomed and safe at their place from the very beginning.
I stayed with them a month and in this period I helped them with some housework, some tasks in the garden and I assisted them in renovating their… read more
