Looking for a break from busy city life? At Guat-is-Hof in the Austrian countryside, you can slow down, spend time with animals, and enjoy some space for yourself.
You’ll help with our everyday farm routine: feeding the chickens and horses, cleaning the horses’ area, bottle-feeding the calves, and sweeping our barns and halls. These are practical tasks that need care and reliability. We’ll show you how everything works so you can carry them out independently.
You’ll work around 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, with 2 days off that you can choose in coordination with us. Animal care happens at set times, so your working hours may be split across the day. Outside those tasks, you’ll have plenty of time to read, go for walks, unwind, or simply enjoy the quiet.
Please be aware that this can be a very independent stay. At the moment we’re busy with the farm and family, so we won’t always be around to keep you company. You may spend much of your time on your own and could be the only person staying in the guesthouse.
We try to host two volunteers at the same time, but we cannot guarantee this. If you’re travelling alone, you should feel comfortable staying alone and enjoying your own company.
Couples and friends travelling together are very welcome! You can share the experience and enjoy time together, with your own space away from our family home.
This stay is a good fit for someone who enjoys animals, doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty, and welcomes a quieter pace of life. If you’re looking for a lively hostel atmosphere or constant social activities, our place probably won’t be the right match. But if you’d like to step away from the rush and settle into a simple daily routine with animals, we’d be happy to welcome you.
