    Description

    Dear Workawayers,

    we would love to welcome you in our home!

    We are a small Family of three - (Man: 45, Female 38, Child: 13) living near Geneva and the lake of Geneva looking for people who can help us and support us with the property, the house and our animals. We speak German and English.

    We live in an old historic mill, on a 20,000m2 land with several rivers flowing through it. We have a beautiful garden with 12 chickens, 2 donkeys, 2 geese, 2 goats and 4 ducks. We have a green house and open vegetable beds. We have two natural ponds on the property of which one is used as a pool.

    We are approx. 15 minutes away by car from the Lake Geneva and its beaches. We have two SUPs that we are happy to share.

    On the property itself, there is plenty to do in the garden and also the animals need to be looked after and let out in the morning and put back into their. We love to travel during the summer and also over the weekends. We are therefore looking for easy going but responsible and reliable people (either singles or couples) who love nature and animals and who would be willing to help us here and to cover while we are travelling.

    We are looking for Workawayers who would be willing to be our guests for a minimum of 4 weeks. We can start hosting anytime, but for sure we will need you starting from the 25th of July, through the entire August. The tasks would be to look after the animals and to help a bit with garden work.

    Starting from the 25th of July we can host you in our "Roulotte" on the property with bed (small though), toilet, shower and A/C. Alternatively you can bring your own Caravan / Camper.

    We would be really happy if you choose our family. If you are travelling with your partner or a friend, it's great!

    If you have any questions, feel free to send us a message! :-)
    We are looking forward to you!
