"Healing environment"—that’s how we experience this place. This nature house is especially unique because it’s located on its own little island. You row over in your rowboat and—literally and figuratively—leave everyday life behind for a while! The amenities are basic but comfortable, and a stay here is wonderfully relaxing and unspoiled. The cottage has many large windows, so whether you’re sitting outside on one of the patios or inside, you always have a view of the surrounding water. On the partially covered porch, you can almost always sit outside and enjoy the peace, greenery, sunshine, and birds. Fascinating, relaxing, and beautiful in any weather. When you book, you’ll receive a separate user guide via email that clearly explains how everything works. The cottage is designed for 4 people, but the sofa bed in the living room can be used as a 5th sleeping spot if needed.
Nature and surroundings
The little island is located in a small nature reserve offering peace and quiet, water, open space... greenery and water. It’s truly a place for people who love and respect nature. Amplified music outdoors is not allowed, nor are loud noises or open fires. But of course, you’re welcome to go for a swim, go boating, and have fun!

Lovely cottage, nice garden, fun but somewhat challenging fishing due to the bottom. Swimming is wonderful, but the bottom can be a bit daunting. It’s not really necessary, though.
Heerlijk huisje, fijne tuin, leuke maar wat moeilijke visserij door de bodem. Zwemmen is heerlijk maar de bodem kan wat afschrikken. Is overigens niet nodig.
A wonderfully peaceful spot. It’s on the edge of the village, surrounded by businesses, so there’s some activity during the week and during the day, but otherwise it’s so quiet and beautiful. The cottage itself is great—well-maintained, tidy, and equipped with everything you need. We had a great time paddling the SUP and fishing. It’s wonderful having to take a rowboat to get to the cottage—it gives you a special feeling. The garden, patio, and covered area are also very relaxing and a great place to sit. The garden is nicely sheltered, so you have all the privacy you could want.
Heerlijk rustige plek. Je zit wel aan de rand van he5 dorp tussen bedrijven dus er is wat bedrijvigheid door de week en overdag, maar verder zo rustig en mooi. Het huisje zelf is prima, goed verzorgd en netjes en voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt. Lekker gezwommen met de sup en gevist. Heerlijk om met een roeibootje naar het huisje te moeten. Geeft een bijzonder gevoel. De tuin, terras en overkapping zijn ook erg relaxt en heerlijk om te zitten. Tuin is mooi beschermd dus je hebt alle privacy die je wil.

We thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic nature cottage Formosa. I grew up in Reeuwijk myself and you get right into nature here, right on the lake and with the birds close by. Every day there was an oystercatcher sitting in the lawn catching worms. The children swam regularly and went for a boat ride. In short, an ultimate place to enjoy each other and nature!
We hebben enorm genoten van het fantastische natuurhuusje Formosa. Ik ben zelf in Reeuwijk opgegroeid en je komt hier helemaal in de natuur, direct aan de plas en met de vogels dichtbij. Er zat elke dag een scholekster in het grasveld om wormen te vangen. De kinderen hebben regelmatig gezwommen en een rondje met de boot gevaren. Kortom een ultieme plek om te genieten van elkaar en de natuur!

Very tastefully decorated cottage, clean, all the trimmings. On the one cold (September) day the electric heater warmed up enough.
Heel smaakvol ingericht huisje, schoon, alles er op en eraan. Op de ene koude (september)dag warmde het electrische kacheltje voldoende op.
The cottage is on a small island, with a wide view of pond on one side, on the other side a green garden. South-facing veranda, great for sitting in the sun. In case of rain, covered part offers pleasant place. Very quiet, except on weekdays sometimes noise from garden work. But it did not disturb us
Het huisje staat op een klein eilandje, met aan ene kant ruim zicht op waterplas, aan de andere kant op een groene tuin. Veranda op het zuiden, heerlijk om in de zon te zitten. Bij regen biedt overdekte deel prettige plek. Heel rustig, behalve op weekdagen soms lawaai van tuinbouwwerkzaamheden. Maar ons heeft het niet gestoord
