Description
We are a family of 6, with 4 humans, 1 cat and 1 dog from capital city of Turkey, Ankara. We have moved into our new land in Muğla Province, building and organizing our eco tourism farm.
Our farmstead is located in Yaka Neighborhood, which is close to major historical sites and tourist attractions such as Ölüdeniz, Fethiye, Kas, Kalkan, Saklikent, Tlos and Xanthos.
For 2023, we are really looking for long term workawayers,
-Help with housekeeping, we have 4 bungalows on daily rent. Majority is European/American Guests.
-A workawayer who can stay with us for 2+ months is preferred.
We need Workawayers for;
- Landscaping
- Permaculture/gardening labor
- Help with basic construction
- Housekeeping/guest management
These chores need some muscle work, of course within human limits.
We do not want anyone to use our farm as a stop to catch some breath, rather stay with us 3 weeks or more. Please don’t forget we are not a holiday resort.
Work hours window and work type will be discussed if you are interested. We will try to be as flexible as we can so you can also enjoy sightseeing, historical sites, the sun, sea and beauty of Turkey.

I was welcomed like a member of the family and I was very comfortable there.
The work was varied (gardening, clearing brush, building stone walls, taking care of the sheeps and goats...) and in front of an incredibly beautiful view, from morning to night.… read more
She is very friendly and skillful, did not have any problem at all. We are glad that she joined us and it was a pleasure working with her.
She nailed every task she’s been given, always asking for more and she really made a difference. Definitely recommended to any host who’s searching for some serious help… read more
She took care of our property as her own, managed to get close with animals, worked very hard and helped a lot with whatever task she’s been asked to do. She became a friend we definitely would like to see again.
