  Description

  Hello Workawayers!
  
  We are an Icelandic-Dutch family with a lovely, spacious house beautifully situated right next to a river, surrounded by forest and unspoiled nature. We fell in love with this peaceful place the moment we saw it – it's a perfect escape into nature.
  
  Since we live and work part of the time in Oslo (where we’re involved in research), we’re looking for friendly and reliable helpers to assist us with **basic maintenance**, **gardening**, **light construction**, and **general tidying** in and around the house. When we are not there, you'll often have the place mostly to yourself – a quiet, magical spot to enjoy nature and unwind.
  
  ### What you can expect:
  
  * A peaceful, natural environment ideal for relaxing or recharging
  * Access to kayak, SUP board, a cozy sauna, great swimming spots, fishing, and forest trails
  * A large kitchen to prepare your own meals (or share with others!)
  * Plenty of space for reading, meditating, writing, or just enjoying the quiet
  * Opportunities for cultural exchange – we speak Norwegian, Icelandic, Dutch, English, and even a bit of Italian (thanks to the kids!)
  
  We are used to welcoming guests and enjoy creating a warm and respectful atmosphere. We’d love to hear from you – especially if you enjoy working with your hands, spending time outdoors, and contributing to keeping a beautiful place well cared for.
