Sauna, hot tub… seating areas on each side of the island… breakfast at the outdoor kitchen near the water… a blissful place to relax
Sauna jacuzzi … zitplekjes op elke kant van het eiland … ontbijten aan de buitenkeuken nabij het water … zalig vertoeven
Beautiful surroundings … a little island all to yourself in the water … a magical sunset … peaceful ducks …
Prachtige omgeving … eigen eilandje in t water … magische zonsondergang… rust eendjes …

We had a fantastic week. With the beautiful weather, this nature house really comes into its own. Thanks to the many patios, there’s always a nice spot to find in the sun or shade, and in the evening it’s wonderful to sit by the outdoor fireplace. We had expected a lot of mosquitoes, but they hardly bothered us at all. We also made full use of the outdoor kitchen with its burners and barbecue, which meant we spent almost the entire day outdoors. Plus, there are plenty of nice restaurants in the area, though making a reservation is definitely recommended. All in all, a wonderful place where peace, nature, and comfort come together perfectly. We’d love to come back here again.
We hebben een fantastische week gehad. Met het mooie weer komt dit natuurhuisje echt volledig tot zijn recht. Door de vele terrassen is er altijd wel een fijn plekje in de zon of schaduw te vinden en 's avonds is het heerlijk zitten bij de buitenhaard. We hadden veel muggen verwacht, maar daar hebben we eigenlijk nauwelijks last van gehad. Ook de buitenkeuken met kookpitten en barbecue hebben we volop gebruikt, waardoor we vrijwel de hele dag buiten leefden. Daarnaast zijn er genoeg leuke restaurants in de omgeving, al is reserveren zeker aan te raden. Al met al een heerlijke plek waar rust, natuur en comfort perfect samenkomen. We komen hier graag nog eens terug.
We were there during the first week of July and were really surprised by how peaceful it was. It wasn’t until the end of the week that we saw the occasional boat pass by. It’s amazing how quiet and relaxing it is here, even though you’re so close to Amsterdam. The natural surroundings are beautiful and invite you to spend the whole day outdoors. We had a wonderful time canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding and thoroughly enjoyed the water and the surroundings. It really felt like a place to completely unwind.
We waren in de eerste week van juli en waren echt verrast door de rust. Pas tegen het einde van de week kwamen er af en toe wat bootjes voorbij. Het is bijzonder hoe stil en ontspannen het hier is, terwijl je toch zo dicht bij Amsterdam zit. De natuur is prachtig en nodigt uit om de hele dag buiten te zijn. We hebben heerlijk gekanood en gesupt en volop genoten van het water en de omgeving. Het voelde echt als een plek om volledig tot rust te komen.
