    Descrição

    We are a Dutch couple who love to meet new people. We have 2 little guard dogs, 2 cats, and more than a few chickens. David works away from home, so you will spend most of your time here with Annemiek. She has lived abroad and loves having international visitors! In his free time David is a sound technician and guitar player and -builder. Annemiek likes to sew, and garden. We have completely renovated our previous home and are builders at heart, but we are getting too old! This is why we would love to share our knowledge and experience in building and diy in exchange for some help around our “new” home. We have lived here for 10 yrs, 7 of which we have spent working on the garden. We have a lot of different projects that we want to get done, and it’s hard for Annemiek to always be working alone. Please apply if you are strong and would like to help. Experience is less important, but it would help if you are a practical person.

    We prefer to host couples or travel buddies that don’t mind sharing a room. We have a small guest room and a caravan with room for two or three people each. We won’t put you in a room with a stranger though!

    We have a little caravan in the back of the garden that comes equipped with an electric heater and a good bed (for a couple or single person) that you would be welcome to stay in, but if you prefer your tent or van we will gladly find a place for it. You will share the toilet and shower in the house with us. We have 20 chickens, and when they are laying we eat a lot of eggs, and hardly any meat. We will provide 3 meals a day, breakfast and lunch will usually consist of simple sandwiches, in true Dutch style. We are quite laidback, I don’t even want to mention the following, but there are a few things we really don’t like: smoking (not allowed indoors), abuse of alcohol, any use of drugs, radio / music that we can hear. Also, if you don’t like animals, you shouldn’t apply.

    The area is rural, we will provide a bike for a single person or a tandem bike for a couple so you can explore the area. Nijmegen is the closest city, it is a 60 minute bike ride from here (there’s also a bus to Nijmegen). Druten is smaller and much closer (10 minutes), it has shops and a few bars and restaurants. You can bike to the rivers Maas and Waal, swim in the Maas, go to the Gardens of Appeltern for gardening inspiration, explore the ancient towns of Hernen and Batenburg, or just hang out in a hammock in our garden and play with the dogs or read a book from our English library.

    Annemiek speaks and can teach English and Dutch, David speaks Dutch. We can also understand German and a little French, so don’t worry about the language, we will work it out!

    Upcoming projects are: building a composting toilet, outdoor shower, outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, and a garden shed, laying lots of pavement, maintaining the veggie patch, making new raised garden beds.

    ***Our big project for this summer: building a greenhouse. If you have experience with laying bricks we would really like it if you could help us with that!

    Please apply if you are strong and would like to help. Experience is less important, but it would help if you are a practical person. We can do tasks together, but if you prefer to work alone that will also be ok.

    No pets in the caravan, but if you have your own tent or van a small dog could be ok. He can play in de garden with my dogs, but only if he doesn’t hunt chickens, ducks, hedgehogs or cats, and if you clean up after him. If he doesn’t get along with my animals I will ask you to keep him confined.
