Description
Sunny, rural and coastal place. Close to nature and natural, clean beaches. I have a couple of chickens, fruit trees and a greenhouse. There are several bike paths here. 3min from shops. 15min from town - and 30min away from city/airport. Solar system, so electricity is free. Rural/coastal, but still comfortable with air condition.
The house and garden are in-progress and under refurbishment (e.g. 1st floor is not complete) still; quick status:
- Enough solar energy to provide for all needs 99% of the year. Hybrid setup, so the 1% missing (during December!) is covered by the grid: ✅
- Aircondition and heat pump boiler: ✅ ..with cozy fireplace as backup!
- Fiber optic Internet (500/500Mbit) and 5G backup: ✅ ....do I need Starlink also?
- Water filtration (5+ micron, active charcoal, UV++); drink, wash and cook straight from the tap: ✅
- All modern amenities: dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, induction cooktop and oven++ ✅
- Externally insulated with 10cm Rockwool: ✅ ..keeps the house warm during winter - and cool during summer.
- New roofing: ✅
- Greenhouse: almost; in progress!
- Independent water supply: almost; still need tanks for storage!
- Ground floor needs refurbishment; I want to install new furniture and a 2nd aircon on that floor.
- Need a bigger chicken run!Types of help and learning opportunities

I know the area quite well. Depending on your interests, we can visit local restaurants in places that are less touristy. I like riding my emtb; if you have similar interests I can show you some trails. Obviously a big part of the local culture here is chilling out at the beaches.
Help
Perhaps help with the chickens. Do a project for setting up an automatic irrigation system. Perhaps help improve the fence in some places, but that can be heavy work. I see some here expect people to work for 5 or more hours per day without pay; I think that's way too much just for accommodation. If you can help out 1-2 hours per day or so on average; that's fine.

There are two bedrooms and a living room with a sleeper sofa available. This floor of the house is air conditioned, modern and comfortable. There is a fireplace during winter. The kitchen is modern and has a big fridge-freezer. The bathroom is small but practical. Connected to the floor there is a 9x2m veranda where people can sit outside and enjoy the view. There is high-speed Internet, electricity and you can drink the water straight from the tap - as it is filtered and safe via a whole-house setup in the basement. The basement has a new washing machine and tumble dryer.
There also is an apartment downstairs with a separate entrance, but unfortunately this is only used for storage space for now. Maybe in the future it could be nice for longer term accommodation..What else ...
There's a bus stop 100m from the house. There is free parking. You can walk to the beach, but I'd recommend bicycle, bus (every 1-2 hours), car or taxi.
I can't think of any house rules beyond what's obvious. If you smoke, do so on the veranda.A little more information

500mbit/500mbit fiber optic internet is here and very stable. There is 5G (unlimited data) as a backup.
Space for parking camper vans
It would be possible to park your camper/motorhome here. I'd be happy to run an extension cord up to your camper/motorhome.
Can possibly accept pets
Pets are fine? I guess if you have a big dog, it will be happy outside on the 1 acre property here. There is shelter from rain - and my dog can keep it company
How many Workawayers can stay?
More than two
