Nature house in Olmen
Antwerp, Belgium

A nice place to fully unwind, read, write, study, listen to music, eat good food, drink wine. For 2 people but with room for a possible crib. Located on a property of 3 ha surrounded by agricultural land, at the end of a cul-de-sac. Along the road is the canal, with on both sides only a bicycle path. So no traffic noise. On the estate is also the home of the owners and a smaller guest house. The house is well insulated and is fired by a wood stove. Dry wood is available in abundance. Bed linen and towels are included in the rent. Pets welcome, dog or cat, provided nature is respected and excrement is cleaned up.
Nature and surroundings
Pictures of nature say more than 1,000 words. The garden most closely resembles a park-like nature garden. Only the paths are mowed and dozens of grasses grow here intermingled. In season there is fruit to harvest. There live dozens of bird species, squirrels, weasels, martens, pheasants, hares, rabbits, frogs, toads lizards. The cottage is located at a junction of cycling routes, starting along the canal. in season there is plenty of fishing here. Within walking distance (300m) is nature reserve "the Rammelaars" where wild horses still roam. On the other side of the canal lies the Olmense Zoo, now called Pakawipark. For golf lovers, good to know that within 20 minutes there are 3 beautiful courses: Steenhoven, Kempen and Millennium.

Geja January 3, 2026 General rating:It is a nice isolated spacious cottage with a wood stove. In the kitchen everything is present only cleaning items is minimal. The wood stove has no official use items such as a poker and glove. The hygiene was below our standard. There were food remains on the cutlery, the nespresso machine was not clean, there was an old camping kettle with a broken cord present and dirt on the handle. There was also no toilet cleaner present. The trash cans were not completely clean. There was a lot of lime in the shower area. Landlord's Response: We are sorry that we were not able to fully meet your expectations. We have since resolved the criticisms: a poker and glove by the wood stove, a new kettle, cleaning products in kitchen and toilet, shower head and drain sink descaled. We look forward to seeing you again, though with the request that you notify us of such things on the spot.
Het is een mooi geïsoleerd ruim huisje met een houtkachel. In de keuken is alles aanwezig alleen schoonmaak artikelen is minimaal. Bij de houtkachel zijn geen officiële gebruiksartikelen, zoals een pook en handschoen. Wel zijn er voldoende houtblokken.
De hygiëne vonden wij beneden onze norm. Er zaten etensresten aan het bestek, de nespresso apparaat was niet schoon, er was een oud camping waterkokertje met kapotte snoer aanwezig en vuil aan het handvat. Er was ook geen wc reiniger aanwezig. De prullenbakken waren niet helemaal schoon. Er was heel veel kalk in de douche ruimte aanwezig.
Reactie van verhuurder:
Het spijt ons dat we niet volledig aan uw verwachtingen hebben kunnen voldoen. We hebben de punten van kritiek inmiddels opgelost: een pook en handschoen bij de houtkachel, een nieuwe waterkoker, schoonmaakmiddelen in keuken en toilet, douchekop en afvoer wastafel ontkalkt. We zien u graag terug, wel met het verzoek ons dit soort dingen ter plaatse te melden.Nature, peace & environment:The peace and quiet on private property was very good. There was plenty of space and privacy around the cottage. The cottage is on a fenced plot where you can walk and enjoy the birds. The nature in the immediate area is very suitable for cyclists and hikers.
De rust op eigen terrein was heel goed. Er was voldoende ruimte en privacy rondom het huisje. Het huisje staat op een omheind perceel waar je heerlijk kan wandelen en genieten van de vogels.
De natuur in de directe omgeving is heel geschikt voor fietsers en wandelaars.This text is automatically translated. -

In een woord GEWELDIG!!
Nature, peace & environment:Lovely estate, cottage perfect! So cozy and something for everyone every season! Now in the winter with a fantastic stove wood burning. Down for hours, could enjoy being together and not known a moment of boredom. Everywhere was thought of and very durable. Highly recommended this nature house with a warm welcome from the host.
Heerlijk landgoed, huisje perfect! Zo sfeervol en elk seizoen voor elk wat wils! Nu in de winter met een fantastische kachel hout kunnen stoken. Urenlang onderuit, kunnen genieten van samenzijn en geen moment verveling gekend. Overal was aan gedacht en heel duurzaam. Een dikke aanrader dit natuurhuisje met hartelijk ontvangst van de gastheer.
