Nature house in Schipluiden

A former pumping station (a municipal historic landmark) was transformed into a unique vacation home in 2016. It is located on the Vlaardingsevaart, separated by a walking and biking path. The nature house is situated in the heart of the Zouteveense Polder, surrounded by beautiful towns and villages. The former pump is an integral part of the industrial, modern interior. The cottage can accommodate up to four people, and you can enjoy watching waterfowl and meadow birds as well as fantastic sunrises and sunsets. The Pomphuis features an open kitchen with all amenities (induction cooktop, combination microwave, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, Quooker, and a Nespresso coffee machine). The ground floor features underfloor heating and a cozy pellet stove. There is a sunny terrace at the front. Canoes are available free of charge for guests, and you can rent an electric rowboat to explore the water-rich area. Bedding, bath towels, and kitchen linens are provided.

The nature house is located in the middle of a lush peat meadow area, with charming villages like Schipluiden, Maasland, and ’t Woudt nearby, where you’ll also find great restaurants, local shops, and small museums. On the horizon lie cities such as The Hague, Rotterdam, Delft, Vlaardingen, and Maassluis, so if you want to spend a day shopping or go to the movies, that’s also an option. Would you rather explore the green heart of Midden-Delfland? You can do so very easily by bike or on foot. The green surroundings include authentic farms, protected village landscapes, and beautiful polders. This is truly special not only in the summer, but also in the winter and fall. Every season has its own beauty. Want to get some fresh air on the beach? That’s also easily possible, and it’s about 22 km from the Pomphuis.
