We live in a small hamlet outside a village in the east of Switzerland. And we have an own house with a big vegetable garden. We are vegetarians (since 1984), we don't eat meat, fish and egg. Non smoking!
In winter our garden is "sleeping" and so we can go away.
Hobbies: house and garden, hiking, table tennis, photographing.

Alice and Felix stayed with us for three weeks and were wonderful helpers. They're an energetic, hard working couple who don't hesitate in tackling a range of tasks in both the house and garden. They did a fantastic job in clearing up fallen branches and leaves around our large property including removing an old wire fence. They also did some… read more

We were able to stay with Denise and Pete for a total of three weeks. These hosts were very kind, generous, and always very concerned about us. We first spent a week in their house in Perth. We were very impressed by the practical house with its beautiful Jarrah wooden floors. The few jobs we were able to do in the house and garden that week were… read more

Jenny has a big heart, we felt comfortable and at home from the first meeting. We were happy that we were able to stay with Jenny for three weeks. She even moved to another room so that we could move into her nicer room, as the guest room was already occupied at that time. That made a big impression on us.

2024 was a highlight of my Workaway experience so far, with 10 or more different workaways staying. However Alice and Felix proved to be the pinnacle of that high point. When Alice and Felix first contacted me about coming to visit I was very curious as they were the most mature Workaways I’d been in contact with. As it turned out they were the… read more

Alice & Felix were a joy to gave around. I had a low stone wall I was hoping Felix could do & he did it to perfection, with very little input or guidance, from cutting the local stone, clamping, cementing, dealt with the cutter breaking etc. Alice worked alongside him or managed her time beautifully, weeding, planting, mulching & even making a… read more

We had 3 impressively weeks in this lively family with Lynore and Greg. Every day we enjoyed the beautiful view to the sea and the Kapiti Island. Lynore is a very good cook of healthy vegan meals, you will not gain weight with them. She drove us to a nice bush walk and together we could enjoy a wonderful day in the Staglands animal park, too.… read more

We had the very great pleasure of having Alice and Felix with us for a week. They were extremely hard workers and transformed many areas on our property which had become quite overgrown. They worked steadily and quickly through each task until it was done and did not concern themselves with watching the clock. Sometimes it was hard to make them… read more

We were allowed to spend four weeks as a family member with Cami, Felix, and their two sweet daughters Jana and Frieda. My husband was able to do various carpentry work, such as a wood paneling at the cheminee and a storage space in the sofa bed. He also enjoyed the design of the garden path. I enjoyed working in the garden as if it were mine.… read more

Dear Catherine and Fintan,
Every day was a happy day we had with you during our seven week stay. We enjoyed the breathtaking views and especially the beautiful morning moods.
Fintan was always in effort, that we had enough time to explore the island, besides working. He also gave us some very good tips for hikes or excursions.
