Description
We are looking for a couple who like to combine Holiday and labour in the luxury of our estate. End of september until end of oktober. Besides enjoying the luxury, treat the house as it was yours, you need to mow at least ones a week (4 hours) and your major project is to sand and paint all shutters! We will be there to make you known with the house and get to know each other. Then we are off to Holland due to the arrival of a grandchild. The other reason is that I get a new hip and cannot do heavy work for 3 months.
Of course the use of house, pool and sauna is for free. If you are not coming by car, an old Renault 25 is available. We like to clearly discuss the painting job and agree on a correct extra fee for the labour.Types of help and learning opportunities
