Description
We are a german-french family with 3 grown-up children and Onno, our family dog. After having lived in Berlin for 25 years, we live now in beautiful Mecklenburg in the lake district. In Zahren we have restored a manor house (a house from the 18th century, listed as a monument) with its former horse-stable (a beautiful brick building from the end of 19th century) and its former Milkhouse within a listed park with old trees and orchards with old apple varieties and other fruits.
We host corporate teams and start-ups for offsites, retreats, strategy meetings, workation, etc.. The team sizes are most often between 10 and up to 40 people and most of them are international. That is why we only take workawayers who speak fluently english. We also host families and groups of friends or just tourists or people who are willing to stay some time in the quiet and beautiful countryside.
We are looking especially for help with the following activities/tasks. Please let us know for which of these areas you have skills and experience:
- Housekeeping
- Help in the kitchen: prep & service
- Gardening, inkl. driving a tractor, using a mower
- Building, DIY, Caretaker
- Social Media & Web
We are paying at least the minimum German wage which is currently 12,82 EUR per hour.
We can host depending on the season up to six workawayers (couples are welcome) at the same time who are willing to stay at least 2 months with us and ideally more than that :-D We specify th elenght of the stay on the bottom of the profile for a clearer information. If nothing is specified then we would look for at least 2 months.
Our workawayers should be fluent in English (understanding of German would be great but not necessary) and have skills and experience in the defined areas.

Hébergement
We can accommodate you with other coworkers in a house behind the manor house with a beautiful garden. You'll have a room for yourself and will share the kitchen and the bathroom with other workawayers.
The furnishing of the house is quite basic but you will have all necessary things. You have a common kitchen with a cosy fire stove. You will have a fiber optic internet connection in your house and a garden where you can grow your own vegetables.
It is in your responsibility to take care of the garden around the Workaway house in your free time and also keep the house clean and tidy as well as the outdoors.
Autres infos...
In your free time, there are some different outdoor activities here (we have a great disc golf parcours in the parc :-D Some other activities are right in the village or in the surroundings: bathing in the lake, cycling, hiking... the countryside is beautiful here but also can be lonely. It is important to know that our place is located in the least populated area in Germany. So, if you are looking for bars and clubs around in your free time, we might not be the ideal place for you ;-)
If you stay longer, you could visit Berlin or Hamburg, Schwerin or Güstrow or go to the Baltic See.
If you come with your car you would be more flexible but if not, you can borrow some bikes from us or we will drive you to the next supermarket ;-)
