Description
We are a family of 3; Geert, Barbara and our son Roemer (12 now). We are living on a beautiful place, small village, next to the river the Waal in the Netherlands. We have a huge garden (6000 m2) and several accommodations on our property. We are running a retreat center. We look for work awayers that are willing to help for our private tasks, as help in our garden, painting our house, some light renovation tasks etc.
Please check our calendar for which months we are looking for Work Awayers, before you apply.
Couples are very welcome.

If you are willing to do:
- Gardening help, as prune and weed.
- Painting
- Help in maintenance of our private home
- Renovation small things, or small construction help, like building a chicken 'wellness center' ;-).

We offer you accommodation, good and healthy food from mondays till fridays (shared meals), and we pay you a bit of money per week (for buying in the weekend your own food).
