Nature and surroundings

Between City and Silence: Houtave is hidden in the soft vastness of the Flemish polders, where the horizon breathes and the landscape invites tranquility. Yet here you are never far from liveliness: the historic splendor of Bruges, the "Venice of the North," is only 10 kilometers away. Those who prefer the salty air will find the coastal cities of Ostend, Knokke, De Haan or even De Westhoek just a stone's throw away. Cyclists and hikers can wander endlessly along junction routes, through quiet nature reserves such as the Uitkerkse Polder and Het Zwin. Whether you choose tranquility, nature or culture - from this nature house everything is within reach. Extras on request: *E-bike rental in cooperation with the local bicycle dealer (24 hours in advance reservation) *Bath linen package (2 medium + 2 large bath towels) *The cost for use of hot tub and sauna will be settled on the spot. *From May 1, 2026, we offer Solexes for rent.

    A lovely little house, well-laid-out, and fully equipped. The sauna and hot tub give it a luxurious feel.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage is located in a quiet spot in the village. There is plenty of nature in the surrounding area where you can bike and hike.

    Great. That's fine.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We absolutely loved the cottage, the garden, and the hot tub. The surroundings are wonderfully peaceful, with lots of birds. The owners are friendly and helpful. We highly recommend it. We’d love to come back again.

    A really lovely place with exceptionally friendly hosts; a great base for active and cultural outings. De Haan is a beautifully preserved coastal town, and Bruges needs no introduction (it’s simply stunning), but for nature lovers and birdwatchers, the Uitkerkse Polder visitor center is definitely worth a visit.
    The village of Houtave has a charming historic center with a great little restaurant and a café with a lovely terrace.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage is located on the outskirts of the village, with a view of the garden and the meadows. From the various terraces, you can enjoy nature at any time of day: the beautifully landscaped garden, birdsong, the sheep and chickens in the pasture, and, in my case, in early September, stunning cloudy skies!
