What space and what possibilities this monumental nature house offers - and what a location! Completely free. In the dunes near Castricum. Less than half an hour's drive from Amsterdam. Walk out the door and you are right outside, in the middle of nature. Walk a little further, and you are by the sea. A clever layout makes this special location suitable for small and larger groups. Strategy sessions of executive teams or training sessions of an entire department: this house fits them like a glove. The central meeting point: the characteristic chapel with its high thatched roof. But what about all those other accommodation rooms. No less than six in total. From intimate sitting room to spacious conservatory with subtropical plants and old church bells. From refectory with beamed ceiling to meeting room overlooking the meadows. "The house helped wonderfully," we read in the guest book. How understandable. This nature house is also for rent for 17 people (28110) and for 27 people (28139). NB: different arrival and departure times on weekdays. Rental on weekdays: per 32 hours. Weekends: only per two nights.

Green, green and more green. This nature house is surrounded by a number of gardens, bordering meadows and woods. From the conservatory you can walk straight into them. The abundance of green gives you the feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In the courtyard garden, adjacent to the dining room and kitchen, is a shell terrace. In 2006, the gardens were redesigned. With higher natural values and increasingly "regional" character as a result. A large toad pool has dominated the courtyard garden ever since. In 2015, there was another major intervention, this time to introduce some additional height differences in the landscape and thus even more liveliness and dynamics. The North Holland Dune Reserve is about 5,300 hectares in size, making it one of the largest nature reserves in the country. The area is 20 kilometers long, an average of 2.5 kilometers wide and stretches from the village of Wijk aan Zee to the Schoorl Dunes. Each kilometer in the area is different, with specific plant and animal species.
