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.

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.

A very beautiful place in the polder landscape of the Gelderse Poort. Cycling and walking opportunities abound. The house was not well insulated, and that could be improved.
Een heel mooie plek in het polderlandschap van de Gelderse Poort. Fiets- en wandelmogelijkheden te over. Het huis was niet goed geïsoleerd, en daaraan zou nog wel wat verbeterd kunnen worden.

The pity was that before us there must have been a dog, that smell was still too emphatic in the property
Het jammere was dat er voor ons een hond geweest moest zijn, die geur was nog te nadrukkelijk aanwezig in het pandje
Lovely quiet cottage with all amenities
Heerlijk rustig gelegen huisje, van alle gemakken voorzien
