Detalhes

Descrição
We would be very thankful to receive help with replacing our balcony boards. You will have your own self-contained flat!

We are a small, easy-going, bilingual German/Irish family living near Heidelberg. We've had many great Workaways over the last 2 years help us out with everything from IT to painting and the experience has always been so rewarding. This is the closest I get to backpacking these days and I love that my boys get to meet so many different personalities. Having Workaways enable me to spend more time with my kids and manage the workload better.

We play drums, guitar, keyboards, chess, football, darts and pool. We have a small dog. We are flexible to the length of stay. Staying with us would best suit people who are quite independent and intuitive :) We're willing to pay for work done outside the Workaway framework.

We look forward to meeting you 😊

This was my first workaway experience and it was great! Niamh maked me feel confortable since the first second, and time flew during my stay!

I stayed for 3 weeks and I helped Niamh with some tasks in the house. There is always something to do, but She is really flexible and will always let you do the tasks in which you feel more confortable. I… read more

Wow Lisa and Owain were brilliant Workawayers! They stayed several weeks with us and it was a pleasure. They both have a great attitude towards getting stuck in and getting a job done. Lisa helped me a lot with looking after the guesthouse and sorting, organising and cleaning. She made a great job of painting furniture too! Owain is very handy… read more

Niamh and the boys are a lovely family and great Workaway hosts, who made us feel welcome and at ease right away. This was our first Workaway and we were a little bit nervous, but Niamh looked after us and welcomed us into her home.

Most of the time we were house sitting and looking after the apartment while Niamh was on holiday, so some days… read more

John was honestly an amazing Workawayer! He has a wide range of skills and is very good at offering ideas. He fixed all our bicycles, put up shelves, pictures, lamps, tiled and repaired our cracked marble entrance. He got on well with the boys and our little doggie! He likes his own space but equally enjoys being very sociable. He has some great… read more

(Sorry Niamh that it has taken me so long to find out how to leave this.) I really enjoyed my time with Niam, Felix and Ewan. They are an amazing family and I fell in love with all three. The work was all within my capabilities and I was able to explore the countryside in my spare time, plus go to Heidleberg, to great museums in Stuttgart and… read more

How can I start this feedback? Can I give 10 stars? I was planning to stay a month and ended up staying 3. I would've stayed longer if I had a Visa. My best workaway experience! Not all of them have been great, but this one made up for the others. Niamh is fun, flexible, easy-going. I wish there were more people like her in the world. The boys… 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!

An Irish/German delight. I enjoyed my time at this Workaway project. I was happy that I could help with painting, cleaning, and a little bit of drumming... the music room was great. Niamh was easygoing and a pleasure to be around. Bammental was a quiet idyllic place with Heidelberg being just a 20 minute train ride away. If you'd like to explore… read more

Top class Workawayer! Dexter helped me out with the music room equipment and even gave me some drumming lessons. He helped tidy, organise and move stuff around the house and garden and did so with great initiative and common sense. He worked well in a team of other workawayers to strip wallpaper and repaint walls with an admirable attention to… read more

We stayed 10 days in Niamh house and it was amazing !!

Niamh is a super mom and a very special person . She always cared about us and how was every going for us. We really felt her house like home, so we were very happy to help with her projects. It didn't feel like work.

Valentina was a wonderful workawayer! We really enjoyed her cooking and when she cleans you feel like you've walked into a brand new house! She is really friendly and great with kids. She's independent and has loads of initiative. She's also quite fearless - she was the only brave one to try to get a bat out of the house!! Best wishes Valentina!

Jessica and Talya helped me out for a week and they were brilliant! Jessica is a real DIY perfectionist and got me off to the best start possible with my renovations. They are both super cooks, great workers, love to chat and are just a joy to have around. You won't be disappointed if you have them as your Workawayers!
