What an amazing ten or so days. This was my second Workaway experience and it was a proper adventure throughout. Görlitz and Bautzen are two cities within bracing but comfortable cycling distance (1.5 hours) from Buchholz.

I am massively grateful to Martin, Martina and the many other good people who live at the Buchholz place. I have never been… read more

Martina and Martin have such a lovely family and a great heart!
I arrived very ill there and they give me all I needed to get well.
Beside their Ferienwohnungen,they are involved in several Charity projects,like help for the refugees in Bautzen,or a Foundation in Tanzania.
Really admirable.
Many greetings from my heart.

I don't think they could be any nicer. During our stay my son and me felt as a part of there family, unfortunately we didn't stay very long. But we came back for a second time and that probably was not the last time.

I helped in the kitchen, played with children, cleaned the holiday apartments, sanded and scratched paint from pieces of furniture... The family took me to Bautzen twice, once to Görlitz, we made a trip to Bastei in Sächsische… read more

This was our first workaway experience and I'm so glad it was with this wonderful family. They warmly welcomed us into their home as part of their family. They have such kind and beautiful hearts and we were awed at how they live a lifestyle of helping and loving so many people- their house is always full and it was a joy to be apart of their… read more

I spent almost 6 weeks with the family, and it was a great and enjoyable time. I quickly felt as a part of the family, and had fun all the way. I'm especially glad for the time I spent with the children, it left me with many warmhearted memories I can look back at.
I hope I will see you again one day, hopefully I'll be completely fluent in German… read more

We spent two weeks at this family's lovely farm in Buchholz, a little town in Eastern Saxony. We felt like part of the family instantly, and enjoyed every minute of staying with them. The work was enjoyable and easy-going and in the afternoons, we ate cake, A LOT!
There are some beautiful walks to be had around this area, with the pilgrimage… read more
