Description
We would be very thankful to receive help with springtime gardening and/or building a small wooden rain shelter outside the back door. Your accommodation will be in a large apartment in the house which you will have mostly to yourself except for some weekends when the other bedroom will be used.
Ideal length of stay is one to three weeks.
We are a small, easy-going, bilingual German/Irish family living near Heidelberg. We've had many great Workaways over the last years help us out with everything from IT to painting and the experience has always been so rewarding.
We play drums, guitar, keyboards, chess, football, darts and pool. We have a small dog. Staying with us would best suit people who are quite independent and intuitive :)
We look forward to meeting you 😊

Marco was a super Workawayer. He was relaxed yet ready to take on any task. His main project here was to strip off old wallpaper and paint walls and a wooden ceiling. He did a good job and he has a lot of independence and initiative to work alone. On occassions where he was involved with holiday guests he dealt with them politely and… read more

Crystal was a wonderful Workawayer - very friendly and open. In the short time she stayed with us, she did a fantastic job of organising and sorting our music collection and she transformed the store cupboard into a really usable space! She's willing to help and give anything a go. Best wishes Crystal!
