Details
Description
We are a young family of five that have bought an old farm to renovate close to the mountains and the fjord of Hardanger in Rosendal. We are active and love to be outside as much as possible and are always enjoying meeting new people and create new things.
There is always something to do around the house - we are always in need of workers that can handle some physical labour, helping out with making food, keeping the house neat, help with the kids and/or teach us something new.
We encourage all Dutch speakers to apply as we are a Dutch / Norwegian family and would like our kids to practice their Dutch more. Gezellig genieten!
