We where for 2 weeks helping at the campsite. It was a good experience; we liked it to meet many different, nice people and help them with their questions. The cleaning tasks where ok. We made walks and visited nice places around. We liked the camping atmosphere a lot and felt good there. We wish Mirjana, Dragan and Nada succes with this beautiful … read more

We zijn 1,5 week bij Nadine geweest. We vonden de plek en omgeving waar ze woont heel indrukwekkend en prachtig! Speciaal om te kunnen ervaren om echt in het donker met alleen sterren en de maan en stilte te wonen. Het was geweldig om daar te wandelen in de natuur.
We hielpen Nadine met werk in huis bv reparaties, naaiwerk en buiten op haar … read more

Wir haben 1 Woche mit Daniëlla und Markus verbracht. Es war sehr schön bei ihnen zu arbeiten, denn sie waren sehr dankbar. Sie haben unsere Hilfe sehr geschätzt! Wir haben ziemlich unabhängig gearbeitet, was gut geklappt hat, da Daniëlla und Markus mit ihrer Arbeit sehr beschäftigt waren. Wir erledigten Gartenarbeiten wie das Beschneiden von … read more

Anja and Hans came to help at the last moment when we needed it and stayed for over two weeks, mostly taking care of our two big dogs while we were on holiday. They were very easy to communicate with, friendly and when we came home we found a beautiful, tidy house. They had also taken initiative and without being asked cleaned out our garage and … read more

We made some walks in the area and … read more

Hans and Anja is a lovely couple with plenty of experience and an amazing skillset! It was a great priviledge to get to learn them and to have them at the place. We quickly learned that they can do many things in a professional way, so we provided them with tasks that would make good use of the unique skillset they have. I'm so happy that, for … read more

We have been 10 days at the place from Olli and Sari. Its really a beautiful place; a real paradise!
We liked very much to live in this 100 years old house and the wide, natural space around it.
When we started I ( Anja) became directly ill. For 4 days I could not do much and it felt good that Olli was very understanding about that.
The work we … read more

I stayed 1 week with my friend Ria in the house from Sarah and Tomas.
For 4 days they where away; we took care of the house, cats and chickens. The other days we enjoyed being partly together with them and the children. There 's a nice, homely atmosphere. Sarah was clearly to us about the tasks we did and was grateful afterwards. We had a good … read more

We had a wonderfull time in the place from Lourdes! We stayed nearly 4 weeks instead of 2 like we planned before.
Lourdes is very good in communication and tells clearly what she expexts. She is a superorganizer; taking care of kids, working and reparing materials and making a lot of things herself. It was interesting to see her life also … read more
