Nature house in Rijpwetering
South Holland, Netherlands
- 4 persons
- 0 bedrooms
- Pets allowed
The nature house is a houseboat decorated in retro style (1960s), but also with the necessary modernization: good bathroom and plumbing, good beds, small dishwasher, central heating and laminate floor. But with a warm look, with shades of brown and orange. A living room with a large window overlooking the lake with grebes, tufted ducks and the beautiful windmills! Even a dip in the lake is good to go. The nature house is located on open water on the western shore of the Koppoel, one of the smaller Kagerplassen, near Rijpwetering. The ark is there together with the landlord's houseboat, but has more than enough privacy. Next to the ark you have your own jetty and seating area. The cottage is easily accessible by car (A4), bicycle (beautiful cycling area) and public transport (bus 56 from Leiden CS). The Wifi connection is fine again! But because we are in the outlying areas sometimes a bit weaker!
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is located in the Green Heart of the municipality of Kaag and Braassem. It couldn't be more Dutch: from one of the outdoor seating areas with wood deck you look out on the meadows with sheep and cows! Nearby several self-chewing farmers (Leiden cheese, Boerenkaas). Despite the busy region, close to Schiphol Airport, you will be amazed at the peace and space. We like a garden that has a wild look, with paths and shady spots here and there. Many birds you will find here therefore as: the blackhead, titmice, wren, sometimes along the bank a kingfisher and in the evening the blackbird! In the reeds the small and great warbler. In short, a lot of nature!

We were received very hospitably by the owner and we were allowed to use the wagon for our luggage. Upon arrival at the cottage we found a delicious piece of cheese from the local cheesemonger. There is no television in the cottage but that did not bother us at all. Everything else was present and everything was clean and tidy. We could use towels and the bed was made. We enjoyed it very much and would love to come back next year and stay a few days longer.
We werden heel gastvrij ontvangen door de eigenaresse en we mochten gebruik maken van de bolderkar voor onze bagage. Bij aankomst in het huisje troffen we een heerlijk stuk kaas aan van de kaasboer uit de buurt. In het huisje is geen televisie aanwezig maar dat stoorde ons totaal niet. Alles was verder aanwezig en alles was schoon en netjes. We konden gebruik maken van handdoeken en het bed was opgemaakt. Wij hebben ontzettend genoten en komen volgend jaar graag terug en blijven dan een paar dagen langer.
Peace, space and nature is absolutely amazing. We had not seen anyone (except the owner) during our stay. There were occasional chickens and ducks passing by to see if there was anything to catch. Occasionally a boat passed at an appropriate distance so in short, the peace and quiet was fine.
Rust, ruimte en natuur is helemaal geweldig. We hadden niemand (behalve de eigenaresse) gezien tijdens ons verblijf. Wel kwamen er af en toe wat kippen en eenden langs om te kijken of er nog iets te halen viel. Af en toe een boot die op gepaste afstand passeerde dus kortom met de rust zat het wel goed.
