Descripción
We are Toby, Ulla and our boys Alistair, Luke and Oliver in Latvia and we are taking volunteers again!

We live 150 m from the Baltic Sea in the middle of nature and we have built an award winning eco-guest house.

Anyone who would like to come and help out in exchange for lodgings, a chance to sit in peace with good food and company, is very welcome. We have a variety of things to do, you won't be bored!

¿Que es esto?
Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
A chance to meet lots of eco-minded guests from all over Europe, spend time with a lovely family that has travelled the world, and enjoy the wonderful nature.

Ayuda
There are lots of jobs including helping in the guesthouse, maintaining the land, activities with guests and doing stuff with our lovely 3 boys. We often try to set an achievable mini project which the volunteer can choose when possible and we like creativity and originality.

We would also really welcome someone who knows how to construct simple wooden structures. We want to develop our natural children's area more this summer.

We will try to give jobs and projects that fit the kind of work that the volunteer is interested in and we are open and flexible.

The main thing we look for is for a volunteer to be happy, positive and to have a 'can do' attitude to life

Thanks and look froward to hearing from you!

Alojamiento
We have a choice of accommodation. If the guesthouse is not full, we can offer a room there, we also have a little separate house where visitors can stay. It is quite basic but fine to live in. We also have the campsite shower and toilet block. We will take care of the cooking unless you have a dish you are willing to share with us, and you will be looked after.

Anyone who wants to just sleep in a tent is also very welcome, it is the middle of nature after all.
Algo más...
There are lots of things to do in nature, it is a beautiful area with different habitats, and you can walk for hours without seeing anyone. We are next to the sea so you can swim every day, run on the beach etc.

Staying at Tobi and Ulla's place in the middle of nowhere was the most intense first workaway experience I could ever wish for. The setting is just heaven on Heart and even though you are 40kms away from everything Tobi will never let you miss anything. Some days I was helping in the kitchen and the rooms, some others trimming the grass but the… read more

Emma stayed with us for around 3 weeks and was delightful to have around. She immediately became one of the family and seemed to truly love being around the boys, taking them to the beach, coming up with activities to do with them, and filling their days with fun. Always helping out completely naturally, seeing what to do without being asked. An… read more

I was lucky to find this beautiful place to clear my mind and soul. Located just by the sea, astonishing big and almost empty beach, untouched nature. Sauna, greatest meals prepared by szef Raimonds, care taken of me by hosts Tobby, Ulla, careless time spent with their boys Alistair, Lucke and Ollie.

Nous avons très peu vu Toby et Ulla qui ont pu prendre quelques jours de vacances sans les enfants. C’est Ingrida qui a donc été notre référente. Elle a été aux petits soins pour nous, mais notre difficulté de language ne nous a pas permis de discuter mais les gestes et l’attention suffisent parfois. La guesthouse est située dans un lieu… read more

After almost two weeks at Ulla's and Toby's guesthouse, I had a really hard time leaving:

The location and the guesthouse itself are simply stunning: close to the beach and in such a calm environment, it's a great place to rest. Ulla and Toby (who seemed to be running mostly on coffee :P) were always super friendly and their boys are so lovely.… read more

We were fortunate enough to have Mark stay with us for around a month. He is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, he worked independently and diligently and helped us out in many ways. Thanks Mark from all of us, you are welcome back any time!

I stayed about three weeks with Ulla, Toby and their three kids at their fantastic place right at the shore of the Baltic Sea. I felt immediately welcomed and home. I got my own room and had always great and plenty food - most of the time cooked by Inga :D
I loved the work which was mostly gardening - clearing trenches, cutting branches and… read more

I spent almost 3 weeks at Toby's guesthouse in the middle of nowhere, and I will say that being in the middle of nowhere is quite refreshing. Aside from how unseasonably cold it was for mid-August, there was so much beauty and tranquility to behold. And those sunsets were magnificent.

I enjoyed working with Inga in the kitchen and I may have… read more

I can't find right words to explain how lucky I was to have this lovely family as my first workaway experience. The very first day they told me to feel like at home and in fact they made me feel like I was at home. Such a beautiful place with amasing nature and my passion-the sea in 150 m from home. I spent three weeks there and it was kind of… read more

In July 2013, I worked at Toby's and Ulla's place and had a wonderful time there. The camp site is beautifully situated close to a very remote village, Mikeltornis, right by a wonderful beach and surrounded by forest. My work mainly consisted of reconquering an abandoned field by cutting bushes and trees in order to make it usable for camping.… read more
