Caroline and Ole are great people.
I've spent a week on the farm and made myself an incredible memories. There was perfect amount of work, to have enough time for my intense reading and lots of walking around this beautiful nordic nature of Norway. The view from the farm is breathtaking, especially for a person, who is from the county with the

The different break from my office job and a big part of rewinding were animals on the farm. Scottie and Sonnie are amazing, playful dog. And for cat lovers, the cat just loves the attention (and food). Ponies are friendly too, some more than another's, but horse can't walk by without some petting while you working.
Overall, this was a perfect first time experience on workaway, even though, I think I was very quiet, but hopefully I've catched up with faur work done.
With a great smile on my face and best regards to Ole, Caroline, Scott and Sonnie,

Hello Caroline & Ole Martens !
I spend almost 1 month at the farm, during winter time, and it was and amazing experience. Caroline & Ole Marten are an amazing couple and being part of their house was a pleasure. The 3 dogs : Sonni, Yanki & Scott are the best trio, and it's always a pleasure to play, walk or just chill in the sofa with them.

The view from the house to the fjord is just breathtaking, and the arounds with the forest, the mountains are like a fairytale.
With chance you can catch some Northern lights ( and actually I was really lucky to see them here), swim on the fjord (really COLD but worth it), and watch "Alle Mat 1" on TV with Caroline & Ore Marten.
My experience at this place was perfect, the good was so good, they really want to make you have a great time them.
I already miss this place, Yanki, Sonni, Scott, Günther, Willy, Freya, Girafe and for sure Caroline & Ole Marten.
Hope we'll see each other again, and I wish you all the best!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Caroline and Ole Morten have been amazing hosts, who made us feel welcome from the first day on and made these 3 weeks we spent with them very special. We were able to enjoy this beautiful place with amazing views and be surrounded by their lovely animals, its truly a paradise and we miss everything a lot. We could help on the farm with painting,

All was very well instructed and in a relaxed atmosphere, which made the work fun! It was amazing to spend time with Caroline and Ole Morten, as they are very kind people and didn't hesitate to offer us yummy ice creams and show us beautiful spots in the area.☺️ Their animals, the dogs Scott, Yanki & Sonny, their cat Günter and ALL the amazings ponys are just as lovely and friendly, and there was so much time for cuddling with them. We had an amazing time and really want to come back one day. If youre looking for a great culture exchange with lots of laughs, kindness, good food, great views and happy animals, we can recommend this place very much!!
Thank you Caroline and Ole Morten, hopefully see you soon again!

I stayed at Caroline's and Ole Morten's farm for about two weeks. It was my first workaway experience and I am very grateful these nice people gave me the opportunity to visit their wonderful place.
Caroline and Ole Morten really made me feel like at home. They are really friendly and kind people with many interesting stories to tell, especially

The ponnies are super cute and I had a lot of fun with the three crazy dogs and the cat. Unfortunetaly I had to shorten my stay at the farm due to the current global situation and Caroline and Ole Morten were very supportive in this.
The views of the fjord are just stunning, especially when the mountains are covered with snow. You can just take the dogs on a walk and enjoy some beautiful Norwegian nature. So if you are looking for a friendly and calm place where you can have some amazing views, this is it.
Thank you so much both again! Say hello to the whole animal gang:)
Take care!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
