Nature and surroundings
You are in the middle of the meadow with magnificent views all around. You can enjoy numerous meadow and water birds. With the accompanying rowing boat you can make boating trips and possibly do some shopping in the village. The water is one of the cleanest in the Netherlands and is excellent for swimming. Also the fishing is very good. Directly opposite the house runs the so-called Floris the Fifth path which, if you wanted, you could walk to Amsterdam, right through the farmland. The house is in the middle of a water polder with everything you can expect there: water birds, songbirds, birds of prey, butterflies and dragonflies, but also more spiders that in the city.

I have stayed in quite a few nature houses. This was one of the nicest! The location is unique, on a small island that you reach by bridge, where there is both the owners' house and three cottages for rent. We were in the first cottage of the three, which you can safely call a house. For two people it was tremendously spacious, with several cozy sitting areas both inside and outside. The three cottages share a rowing boat that you can grab if it's there. With this we rowed the first evening to Kockengen for some food. A hugely enjoyable experience. It was also fantastic to sail for a bit around sunset and then float in silence to listen to all the birds. Black-tailed godwits, oystercatchers, cuckoos... The owners are warm-hearted and happy to give you tips. Parking is about 300m away, so that means some lugging/crawling. Good to know is that parking can be tricky when it's busy at the nearby sports club.
Ik heb in flink wat natuurhuisjes overnacht. Dit was één van de mooiste! De locatie is uniek, op een klein eiland dat je met een bruggetje bereikt, waar zowel het huis van de eigenaren als drie huisjes voor de verhuur staan. Wij zaten in het eerste huisje van de drie, wat je gerust een huis kunt noemen. Voor twee personen was het enorm ruim, met meerdere gezellige zitplekken zowel binnen als buiten. De drie huisjes delen een roeibootje dat je kunt pakken als het er ligt. Hiermee zijn wij de eerste avond naar Kockengen geroeid om daar wat te eten. Een enorm leuke ervaring. Ook fantastisch was het om rond zonsondergang nog een stukje te varen en vervolgens even in stilte te dobberen om naar alle vogels te luisteren. Grutto's, scholeksters, koekoeken...
De eigenaren zijn hartelijk en geven je graag tips.
Parkeren kan zo'n 300m verderop, dus dat betekent even sjouwen/kruien. Goed om te weten is dat parkeren lastig kan zijn wanneer het druk is bij de nabijgelegen sportvereniging.Fantastic environment with many meadow and water birds, beautiful landscapes and idyllic villages.
Fantastische omgeving met vele weide- en watervogels, mooie landschappen en idyllische dorpen.
