Description
Hello ,
I’m looking for 1–2 handy, creative, friendly and practical people who enjoy gardening and helping around the house. If you like working with wood, being creative outdoors and bringing ideas to life, you are very welcome to spend some time with me in June to mid July 2026.
The help is mainly about small DIY tasks and outdoor improvements around the property, for example:
cleaning the garden, digging and planting
helping extend the watering system for the plants
sanding and painting
simple DIY wood tasks
building a small yoga platform and outdoor shower together
decoration and creative ideas
general help making the place more beautiful and cozy
You should be reliable, motivated and happy to work both independently and together as a team. I enjoy working together, but I also appreciate having someone around who enjoys helping with ongoing projects and bringing positive energy and ideas.
This is a creative and relaxed home project — and I’m especially happy to welcome people who enjoy making things with their hands.
We eat vegetarian/vegan and do not cook meat in the house, just so you know in advance. I would appreciate if you can adapt to this during your stay.
I provide:
basic food for breakfast and lunch
your own small room
possibly an apartment if you are two people and it is available
For dinner there are several nice places nearby, and of course you can also store your own food in the fridge.
Most time of the day I am outside enjoying the garden, the stunning nature-side around or the beautiful wild beaches that are only 10 mins by car. In your free-time you can go surfing,do water-sports, hiking or cycling... exploring the island.
Since we are located a bit outside (3 km from next village), I recommend to rent a car or a bike, but its also possible to walk 20 mins to the next bus station. And of course sometimes I`ll give you a lift.
In case you are traveling with your camper-van you can put it in the garden.
See you soon!
