    Workawayers can assist with cooking for training sessions, creative crafts, garden and pool work, and general household tasks, either alone or together with me (Gerlinde). This allows for a rich exchange of skills and knowledge, and everyone can learn new abilities while experiencing Austrian culture and nature firsthand.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We provide Workawayers with a clean, safe, and comfortable place to sleep in a private apartment on the lower level of our house. The apartment is newly renovated and has a separate entrance, a bathroom with WC, and a small kitchen, allowing Workawayers to be independent.

    I provide three meals a day and I’m very flexible when it comes to food.
    Vegetarian meals are absolutely fine for me.
    I’m open-minded, curious about new cultures, and I really enjoy discovering different food habits and culinary traditions.

    ---

    Wir bieten Workawayer:innen einen sauberen, sicheren und komfortablen Schlafplatz in einer privaten Wohnung im unteren Bereich unseres Hauses. Die Garcioniere ist frisch renoviert und verfügt über einen eigenen Eingang, ein Bad mit WC sowie eine kleine Küche, sodass Workawayer:innen unabhängig sein können.

    Ich stelle täglich drei Mahlzeiten zur Verfügung und bin dabei sehr flexibel.
    Vegetarische Ernährung ist für mich absolut kein Problem.
    Außerdem bin ich neugierig, offen für neue Kulturen und freue mich darauf, andere Essgewohnheiten und kulinarische Traditionen kennenzulernen und auszuprobieren.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    In your free time, you can enjoy the surroundings: skiing in the nearby mountains in winter, hiking, cycling, or visiting Lake Attersee in summer. The region offers plenty of opportunities for nature, sports, and relaxation.

    Our village is well connected: there are train connections via the Westbahn and a local train to Lake Attersee, making cities like Vienna, Salzburg, and Munich easily accessible.
    At our home, we value friendliness, respect, and honesty. We have an open-minded spirit and enjoy welcoming kind people who like to laugh, chat, and enjoy the atmosphere – at the same time, privacy is always respected, so every Workawayer can feel comfortable.

    In Ihrer Freizeit könnt ihr die Umgebung genießen: Im Winter Skifahren in den nahegelegenen Bergen, im Sommer Wandern, Radfahren oder einen Besuch am Attersee. Die Region bietet zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für Naturerlebnisse, Sport und Entspannung.

    Unsere Gemeinde ist gut angebunden: Es gibt Zugverbindungen über die Westbahn sowie einen Regionalzug zum Attersee, wodurch Städte wie Wien, Salzburg und München leicht erreichbar sind.
    Bei uns zu Hause legen wir Wert auf Freundlichkeit, Respekt und Ehrlichkeit. Wir haben einen offenen Geist und freuen uns, freundliche Menschen willkommen zu heißen, die gerne lachen, plaudern und die Atmosphäre genießen – gleichzeitig wird die Privatsphäre stets respektiert, sodass sich jede:r Workawayer wohlfühlen kann.

    We share our home with a very friendly, loving and gentle dog.
    He is rather shy at first, but full of joy and affection once he feels safe.

    We rescued him from the Toskana Tierhilfe, and you can truly feel his gratitude in every kind look and gentle gesture.
    He deeply appreciates calm energy, friendliness and small acts of care — and gives back a lot of love in return.
