We are a family of 4 Paul (Irish) Janne ( German) and our two young boys aged 1 & 4 who moved to this beautiful corner of world in 2019 from Switzerland. We have recently moved into our family home and would like to become hosts after having such positive experiences as workawayers in the past. We are situated right on the Wild Atlantic Way and the house is the perfect location for a beach living and to raise our kids. With spectacular views over the ocean and Inchydoney Beach (50 metres away) it is an ideal location for you to getaway in pure nature. We have bikes, surfboards, wetsuits, Stand up paddles and lots more to make your your stay unforgettable!
We are currently undergoing a house renovation and really need Workaways with some handy construction skills to help out with the project. Because of this we are staying in a rental accommodation 2km from our home until complete. You would have your own room in the rental house with use of a bike to get to our house renovation on a daily basis.
Unfortunately we don’t have Wi-Fi at this time during our renovation. However reception is good for 3&4G.
If you wanted to go shopping or just visit the beautiful town of Clonakilty with its pubs, supermarkets, cafés and small local shops which is 4,5 km away.
Nearest public transport is located in Clonakilty which we are happy to collect you from.
