Program Details
Dear applicant!
Actually no, we don't have any pets! We have a holiday house right on the shore of Lake Balaton, in a beautiful Hungarian village, Balatonszemes, and we are looking for help here for August and early September.
Would there be a kind of lazy guy who likes to lounge around in the caressing sun, swim in a warm freshwater lake, maybe go fishing in the evenings, and who hates loud parties, who would sacrifice a month or few weeks of her/his life to take care of a holiday home in Balatonszemes, Hungary, right on the shores of the magnificent Lake Balaton?
Activities & Shift
Let me clarify what this job or offer is!
There are two apartments in our holiday house. We only rent the apartments to Hungarian and foreign guests in the summer, usually on a weekly basis. We already have an employee who cleans the apartments when the guests leave, but the reception of new guests has not yet been resolved. This consists of showing how the keys work, the kitchen appliances and the air conditioning are operated. There are two pine trees in the yard, from which cones fall onto the sidewalk, these have to be collected and thrown away once a day. The garbage container has to be taken out to the street twice a week, and after the garbage has been taken away, it has to be pulled back from the street into the garden.
This is the task that the person who accepts the position can expect, no more. What I have described here is no more than 1-2 hours of activity per day, after that you do whatever you want.
The help is important to me because I live in Budapest, I can't travel 150 kilometers per day because of every little problem to solve those things. I can provide accommodation in a wooden house, right next to the main building. There is also cooking facilities, a refrigerator and a washing machine, and the wooden house has its own shower and a private toilet. We will be in constant contact on the internet or by phone, I speak English, we will understand each other. I will send photos from the location or send the Airbnb link, where you can see all the details.
You can be a girl or a boy, the position is not gender-specific. Think about it, can you handle these few weeks alone in a wonderful Hungarian village, where you only have to walk 30 meters and you can swim in the velvety water, or you can laze around all day, read, study or just sunbathe on the beach.
Rules
No serious rules. This is no longer work, this is more like a vacation!
Adittionaly, there are bicycles, so you can be mobile and you can be happy when you cycle around the lake and the village.
Thanks!
