Nature house in Kekerdom
Gelderland, Netherlands
- 4 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
As of 5-02-2024 refurbished. In Kekerdom, under the smoke of Nijmegen and within cycling distance of Millingen aan de Rijn, is located just outside the dike at the gate of nature reserve "The Millingerwaard" this monumental semi-detached house. Through the shared front door you enter the hall, where both cottages have their own lockable entrance door. There is a large shared garden, but each cottage has its own seating area. The nature house labeled "Natura speculum creatoris" (nature is the mirror image of creation) was formerly used as a farm, but is now available for you to use as a nature house! From the cottage you step directly into the worth or start your bike ride on the dikes along the great rivers. You can swim within walking distance in one of the lakes in the nature reserve. For your wet and dry you can visit "the Millinger Theetuin" or "the worth of Kekerdom". Did you know that you have the greatest chance of seeing a beaver in the very early morning or in the evening hours?
Nature and surroundings
The Millingerwaard is a nature reserve in Gelderland and is part of the Gelderse Poort, designated as a Natura 2000 area. The area is located west of Millingen in the Ooijpolder on the river Waal and is about 800 hectares in size. The Millingerwaard is managed by the World Wildlife Fund and Staatsbosbeheer and the intention is to allow nature to take its course as much as possible. Eighty acres consist of a forest reserve with willow trees and the remainder consists of marsh, meadows, forest and surface water. The Gelderse Poort is home to about 160 Konik horses and 120 Galloways. In the Millingerwaard beavers have been released and there have been sightings of the lesser weathervane butterfly and the wood bat. Along the Waal, sand drift is taking place and river dunes have formed. There are a few farms and houses in the area where about 20 people live. The Millinger Tea Garden is also located in the Millingerwaard and can be reached on foot from the cottage.

In beautiful Millinger, it’s a pleasure to stay in a home that isn’t modern, but is full of character and equipped with all the amenities. We also had excellent communication with the landlord.
In de prachtige Millinger is het goed toeven in een niet modern huis, maar sfeervol en van alle gemakken voorzien. Ook een prima contact met de verhuurder
Just as beautiful and peaceful as before
Zoals eerder mooi enrustig

A beautiful, spacious house, very well maintained. A wonderful, peaceful night’s sleep. All you can hear are the frogs in the pond. It’s a great place to be with a dog, even in the garden. However, the dog must be kept on a leash at all times. The distance to the Millinger Tea Garden was a bit of a letdown—almost 3 kilometers! We didn’t have bikes, and it was too far for one person to walk. Admission was free for people over 70 (that’s us), but we couldn’t make it there.
Otherwise, it’s a wonderful, special place, especially when the weather is nice.Mooi ruim huis, prima verzorgd. Heerlijk slapen in alle rust. Je hoort alleen de kikkers in de vijver. Met de hond is het er fijn, ook in de tuin. Hij moet echter wel overal aan de riem. De afstand naar de Millinger theetuin viel tegen, bijna 3 kilometer! Wij hadden geen fietsen en voor 1 persoon was het te ver om te lopen. Voor 70 plussers (wij dus) was de entree gratis, maar konden er niet komen.
Verder is het een heerlijke, bijzondere plek, vooral bij mooi weer.Wonderfully peaceful, yet lively thanks to the cyclists and hikers on the dike, whom you can see from the lovely green garden.
Heerlijk rustig, toch levendig vanwege de fietsers en wandelaars over de dijk die je vanuit de heerlijke groene tuin kan zien.

The area is beautiful, the cottage fine. The staff very rude. I hope the owner reads this and gets in touch. I have no need to contact administrator Meriam.
Het gebied is prachtig, het huisje prima. Het personeel zeer onbeschoft. Ik hoop dat de eigenaar dit leest en contact opneemt. Ik heb geen behoefte aan contact met beheerder Meriam.
I stayed there with my elderly parents. The area is beautiful, the cottage fine. That on the day of departure at 7 past ten in the morning the cleaning person came in swearing was bizarre. We had to "fuck off" and immediately. In the commotion, my 85-year-old father broke the taillight of his car. It was a terrible end to a convivial week.
Ik verbleef er met mijn bejaarde ouders. Het gebied is prachtig, het huisje prima. Dat op de dag van vertrek om 7 over tien 's ochtends de schoonmaakpersoon scheldend binnenkwam was bizar. We moesten 'oprotten' en wel meteen. Mijn vader van 85 reed in de commotie het achterlicht van zijn auto kapot. Het was een verschrikkelijk einde van een gemoedelijke week.
