  Description

  We are an Icelandic Dutch family and have a large house right beside a river, we bought it because we liked the place so well. But since we live and work much of the time in Oslo too, we really would like some help with the maintenance of the outdoor areas or other small projects.
  When we are in Oslo working with research, you'll have the place for yourself.
  
  The place is wonderfull to visit the forrest, kajakk, Sup, swim, take a sauna, fish or just relax with a book or nice food.
  
  Each of us speak different languages like norwegian, icelandic, dutch, english or italian (the kids) .
  
  We are used to receive people as guests.
