Nature and surroundings
Since the Tiny house is accessible only by boat, we recommend that you do your grocery shopping before you arrive. There is a supermarket a 5-minute drive from the dock/reception area. Free parking for one car is available at this dock/reception area. The natural surroundings on and around the Vinkeveense Plassen not only provide a beautiful backdrop for a day out, but the marshes are also home to a variety of flora and fauna. There is even a spoonbill colony in De Botshol. Outside the breeding season, this area is accessible only by canoe or rowboat. The Vinkeveense Plassen offer something for everyone in terms of recreation and nature. The lakes are characterized by the spoonbills and the ring of 12 sand islands. There are unique opportunities for water recreation here. You can explore the area by sailboat or motorboat, but it’s also ideal for canoeing or taking an electric boat. A number of routes have been mapped out specifically for canoes and electric boats.

Great
Prima
It was wonderfully peaceful and the surroundings were beautiful; Tineke was very helpful and accommodating. The only downside for us was that we didn’t catch any fish. Fishing on the Vinkeveense Plassen is difficult, unfortunately. Other than that, it was great.
Heerlijk rustig en een mooie omgeving, Tineke heeft ons zeer klantvriendelijk geholpen. Het enige nadeel voor ons was, geen vis gevangen. Het is moeilijk vissen op de Vinkeveense Plassen, Jammer genoeg. Verder Top.

No negative points for the owner, when we reported that the shower only gave cold water she had a brand new pump installed within a few hours! In addition, she takes the time to explain everything to give you a good impression of the lake. Furthermore, she thought along with us by renting us an extra large boat and offering us the right accommodation for fishermen!
Geen enkel negatief punt voor de de eigenaresse, wanneer we melden dat de douche alleen koud water gaf zat er binnen enkele uren een splinter nieuwe pomp in!
Daarnaast neemt ze de tijd alles uit te leggen om je een zo goed beeld van de plas te laten hebben. Verder dacht ze goed met ons mee door een extra grote boot aan ons te verhuren en ons de juiste accommodatie aanbood ivm vissers!A fine experience, when you are on the way back home and already looking to book again for next year I guess you don't have to explain!
Een fijne ervaring, wanneer je op de weg terug naar huis zit en alweer kijkt om voor volgend jaar wederom te boeken hoef je denk geen uitleg tegeven!
