Nature house in Oostburg

The original worker’s cottage has been converted into a charming nature house. The 2,000 m² garden is located along a creek and features a dock with a rowboat and a terrace offering a beautiful view of the water. You can fish and swim in the creek (natural swimming water). Children will have a great time here: there’s a large trampoline, an outdoor ping-pong table, and plenty of space for a game of soccer or hide-and-seek. The house features a spacious kitchen-diner with a view of the garden and the creek. The living room overlooks the expansive landscape. Downstairs, there is a bedroom for two people with a private bathroom and a large bedroom with five beds. Next to this room is a spacious bathroom with a separate toilet and a washing machine. Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms, each sleeping two people, and a third toilet with a sink. There are also four free bicycles. Additionally, there is a barbecue and a fire pit, and there is a variety of patio furniture, so there’s always a nice spot to sit outside.

This nature house is located just 15 minutes from the beach, right in the heart of the western Zeeuws-Vlaanderen polder landscape. Sit back and relax on the deck and watch the common terns fishing in the creek and the reed warblers moving among the reeds. Grab a fishing rod or take a dip in the water yourself. Or lie back in the hammock and enjoy the beautiful garden with its old-Dutch fruit trees, flowers, and reed beds. But there’s also plenty to see in the surrounding area. The cottage is located on a quiet road, in the middle of a creek-filled region, three kilometers from Oostburg. There you’ll find many shops and welcoming restaurants. The historic town of Sluis is eight kilometers away. The Belgian cities of Bruges and Knokke are about a 30-minute drive. The cottage is located on the Cathelijneroute, one of the many cycling routes that allow you to explore Zeeuws-Vlaanderen by bike. The beaches are quiet, wide, and 12 kilometers from the cottage. History is all around here. The 16th-century polders, the Spanish Lines, and the villages show why this area is part of both the Netherlands and Belgium.
