We are a retired couple who have an older house in Salhus, Norway.
Salhus is located about 20 km outside Bergen and by a fjord on the west coast of Norway .
We have cats in the house, so that is great if you like cats.
We also have some chickens. The chickens are on our farm in the summer, but in the winter we have them in a small chicken coop behind our house in Salhus.
There is a small room at the back of the house with a bathroom right next to it and a separate entrance door that we use for our guests. It is just a small room with one bed 120 centimeters wide. So it will be a bit cramped, but it is possible for two people to sleep there if a couple wants to come.
We also have another room that can be used if there are two people on workaway at the same time who do not know each other or do not want to share a room.
You will be served a selection of Norwegian food, but we will of course try to cook food that you also like.
We usually eat the main meals together with our guests, but you are free to cook your own food if you prefer. And we appreciate you cooking your own breakfast and evening meal.

There is a bathing place 100 meters below the house, or you can go to a sea bath in the city.
And there is the possibility of fishing.
Salhus is located on the outskirts of Bergen city, which is the second largest city in Norway.
