The centerpiece of our accommodation is the original guest house, comprising room 1, 2, and 3. Each room features an en-suite bathroom and a patio door leading to the garden. Guests can unwind by the bonfire in the garden or watch their children play in the designated play area. The communal panorama room, equipped with a full kitchen, dining area, living room and alpine fireplace, overlooks the inviting swimming pool. This shared space is perfect for socializing with other guests or enjoying leisurely meals. Guests staying in rooms 1, 2, and 3 can opt for self-catering, bed and breakfast, or bed, breakfast & dinner.
For those seeking more privacy, we offer Huis Hendrik and Huis Truna, two cottage-style units located next to each other. Each unit features two bedrooms with two single beds in each room, along with additional single beds in the living area. With full kitchen facilities, these units provide the perfect home-away-from-home experience. Pets are welcome on prior arrangement. Although similar in many aspects, each unit has its own unique characteristics, ensuring a personalized stay for guests. Please read the description of each room to ensure that he or she will meet your unique need. They are paired well together for larger groups/family.
Room 7 is a cozy studio room with an en-suite bathroom and a balcony/patio with a view of the surrounding orchards. Meanwhile, Room 6 offers basic accommodation for three guests, complete with a kitchenette and en-suite bathroom, and pairs perfectly with Huis Hendrik for larger groups or families. Similarly, Room 8 accommodates up to four guests and features a kitchenette and en-suite bathroom, ideal for pairing with Room 7 for extended families or groups.
Guests can unwind in our fire-driven hot tub, perfect for chilly winter evenings or romantic getaways under the starry sky. While units are self-catering, we also offer breakfast or dinner upon prior arrangement.
