Descrição
We are a Norwegian/English family living in the beautiful area of Nesodden outside Oslo. A couple of years ago we moved into a house which needs both maintenance, painting, and cleaning! In addition we have 11 chickens, 3 cats, and many plans and projects. We are often quite busy, and would love to have some help with some of these!

Acomodação
You will live in a small cabin in our garden, a few meters from our main house. There is a kitchen with a fridge and cooker, a bedroom with two beds as well as a livingroom with a sofa that can be transformed into a (double) bed, and a very simple bathroom with an incineration toilet. There is cold running water in the kitchen only (and not during winter). You can use the shower and washing machine in the main house at times that we agree upon. You will have space to yourself to enjoy your spare time.
Algo mais...
You can walk along the coast or in the forest, and relax in quiet surroundings, or you can hop on a bus and a scenic boat trip to visit the city of Oslo. Nesodden offers the best of both worlds!
