This nature house, a circus wagon from the Circus of Ghent, now stands next to the landlords' yard. It has a bedroom with a double bed, a living room with wood stove and a small kitchenette near the entrance. It has electricity and a small gas burner. In the wooden barn in the yard there is also a nice kitchen with stove, oven and refrigerator for guests to use. Also there are the bathroom facilities. This is about 50 meters from the wagon. In the meadow there is also another nature house. Sometimes there are also guests with a tent. On the farm next to the meadow is a small farm. Several days a week the farm is a small "care farm". The guests of the meadow can also use the firebowl that is on the meadow behind the farm by mutual agreement.This summer (2023) we are in the process of rebuilding the house with adjacent barn. The back yard has no view of this.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is located in the peat meadow area: 'De Bovenkerkerpolder'. The owners both grew up here as son and daughter of dairy farmers. The Bovenkerkerpolder is rich in meadow birds. This is in contrast to many other areas in the Netherlands. From the Circus wagon there is a wide view over grass, sky and ditches. On the other side of the wagon is the dike. A little further up, the boats sail down the Amstel River. At night you can hear the frogs and the peacock. Sometimes an owl flies over the wagon. This year there are two young little owls again.

Meike April 18, 2025 General rating:The accommodation was wonderful. The circus wagon and the yard, as well as the owners, were just great. There is a little house next door with toilets, showers and a kitchen. Everything was there. You should pack enough clothes for colder nights. There is a small wood-burning stove to warm up the car. Highly recommended!
Die Unterkunft war wunderschön. Der Zirkuswagen und der Hof, sowie auch die Besitzer waren einfach nur toll. Es gibt nebenan ein Häuschen, in dem man Toilleten, Duschen und eine Küche findet. Alles war vorhanden. Für kältere Nächte sollte man sich genügend Kleidung einpacken. Mit einem kleinen Holzofen kann man den Wagen gut aufwärmen. Sehr sehr empfehlenswert!
Nature, peace & environment:The accommodation is located in the middle of fields, which are criss-crossed by small streams. You not only have the lovely animals on the farm, but also lots of birds, cows, sheep etc. all around. You come home very relaxed.
Die Unterkunft ist in mitten von Feldern gelegen, welche von kleinen Wasserläufen durchzogen ist. Man hat nicht nur die lieben Tiere auf dem Hof, sondern auch drumrum viele Vögel, Kühe, Schafe etc. Man kommt sehr erholt wieder nach Hause.

Elsbeth August 17, 2024 General rating:The owner was very relaxed, we were allowed to stay longer because there were no guests coming after and we were allowed to use a fire bowl to make a campfire in the evening, very cool.
De eigenares was heel relaxt, we mochten langer blijven omdat er geen gasten daarna kwamen en we mochten gebruik maken van een vuurschaal om 's avonds een kampvuur te maken, heel gaaf.
Nature, peace & environment:It was nice and quiet, beautiful surroundings, you could swim in the Amstel nearby. Nicely refurbished mobile homes, nice bed with mosquito net against mosquitoes.
Het was heerlijk rustig, mooie omgeving, je kon zwemmen in de Amstel vlakbij. Mooi opgeknapte
pipowagen, lekker bed met klamboe tegen de muggen.This text is automatically translated. -
Bram August 10, 2024 General rating:The circus wagon was really fun and nostalgic. I slept fine under the mosquito net (there are mosquitoes though). Both shade and sun spots around the wagon during the day. Tables and chairs are available to sit outside. The bathroom and kitchen are nearby and also nice and spacious, clean and comfortable. I was there on a sunny day, too hot to sit inside. I can well imagine that on a cold or rainy day it would also be nice to sit inside, by the wood stove and with the beautiful view.
De circuswagen was echt heel leuk en nostalgisch. Ik heb prima geslapen onder de klamboe (er zijn wel muggen). Overdag zowel schaduw als zon plekjes rond de wagen. Tafeltjes en stoeltjes zijn beschikbaar om buiten te zitten. Het sanitairgebouwtje en keuken zijn vlakbij en ook lekker ruim, schoon en comfortabel. Ik was er op een zonnige dag, te warm om binnen te zitten. Ik kan me wel goed voorstellen dat op een koude of regenachtige dag het ook lekker binnen zit, bij de houtkachel en met het mooie uitzicht.
Nature, peace & environment:The environment in the middle of the green heart and yet so close to the Randstad is fantastically beautiful. As a tourist transfer point (TOP) there are very nice cycling and walking routes. The circus wagon is on a spacious field with lots of privacy. The inevitable noise of airplanes and the light of the sky above Amsterdam, was much less disturbing than I had thought.
De omgeving midden in het groene hart en toch zo vlakbij de Randstad is fantastisch mooi. Als toeristisch overstappunt (TOP) zijn er hele mooie fiets- en wandelroutes. De circuswagen staat op een ruim veld met veel privacy. Het onvermijdelijke geluid van vliegtuigen en het licht van de lucht boven Amsterdam, was veel minder storend dan ik had gedacht.
