Wow what an amazing experience! From the very first day I felt at home. Yael and Henk are very welcoming, open, and full of interesting stories to share. I was mostly helping them with taking out weeds, cleaning, and preparing for join-in tables. I love the whole concept of kibbutz-inspired dinners and I am really glad to have had an opportunity… read more

They are very open and have their hearts on their sleeves.

Carpentry plumbing etc. and there was lots to do. It was important to be self motivated. And both Yael and Hank are hard working so they kinda expect the same in return.

We stayed with Yael for a week spontaneously to help with the join in tables. We mainly did the cleaning and washing up afterwards.
During our stay we slept in our camper, which we could easily park on the property (electricity available).
We felt very comfortable, Yael is a great host and the food was always delicious! 🥰
