Stay in a charming vacation cottage at an affordable price—whether you’re looking to unwind for a few days or enjoy a longer vacation. You’ll be staying in the restored milk house of a 19th-century farm. The nature house (40 m² floor area) is situated beneath the large walnut tree that graces the expansive garden. The house is equipped with all basic amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, a separate toilet, internet, and a television. There is a mezzanine with two single beds, and downstairs there is a sofa bed for two people. The cottage is a licensed lodging that meets the Belgian 3-star classification. The private sauna and jacuzzi can both be booked for 50 euros and 40 euros per session, respectively, or 90 euros for both (select the “Luxury Wellness Check-in” option). If you wish to use the sauna or jacuzzi multiple times, you can pay for additional sessions on-site. On weekends, you can also book and enjoy breakfast in our breakfast room (28 euros per person per day).
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is located on the Kalkense Meersen, a vast nature reserve that is part of the Scheldt Valley National Park. With 1,000 hectares of contiguous low-lying meadows, crisscrossed by ditches and pools in an old meander of the Scheldt, the Kalkense Meersen serve as a unique breeding and wintering ground for many meadow birds. Discover the tranquility and beauty of this natural setting through the numerous hiking and biking trails. The vacation home provides maps of many marked hiking and biking routes. You can also bike along the Scheldt all the way to Ghent (about 17 km). The vacation home is located within the Ghent-Antwerp-Brussels triangle, so day trips to these cities are also easy to arrange. The cottage has a private terrace and a shared garden. Children can play in the garden on the swing and slide (the trampoline is no longer there).

For us, it felt just like our own little cottage. No one bothers you—you can come and go as you please—you have the key to the electric gate. You get your own food. Breakfast is only on weekends, if you want it.
Voor ons was het net alsof het ons huisje was. Je word niet lastig gevallen door niemand' je kan gaan en staan'je hebt de sleutel vd elektr. Poort. Eten zelf halen. Breakfast alleen weekend als je wil.
What is the leaf rating for the relaxation area? Question 1
Friendly hosts.
The cottage is next to the main house but separate from it. Everything you need is provided in the cottage. You really can enjoy some peace and quiet among the pear and walnut trees when you’re in the garden. The bed takes a little getting used to. For us, one week was just enough; as city dwellers, we thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet and the surroundings.Wat is de gradering vd bladeren bij rust ruimte? Vraag 1
Vriendelijke gastvrouw en heer.
Het huisje is naast de woning maar los van elkaar. Alle benodigde dingen zijn er in het huisje. Je hebt toch een rust tussen de peren en noten bomen als je in de tuin bent. Het bed even aan wennen. Voor ons was 1 week precies genoeg we hebben genoten van de rust en omgeving als stadsmensen.This text is automatically translated. -

I can't think of a single downside
Kan geen minpuntje bedenken
Great location within walking or biking distance of the Kalkense Meerssen. The Noteboomhuisje meets all your needs. Lovely, spacious shower. We slept on the sofa bed because the staircase to the upper level is very narrow and steep. We slept very well. The kitchen is well-equipped with a dishwasher and a fridge with a freezer compartment. Plenty of dishes and glassware. Inside the cottage, you can also see traces of the property’s history. Our host, Tine, was friendly. In the garden, squirrels scamper around with walnuts in their mouths. The garden also has cozy seating areas where you can relax. In short: we enjoyed our week at the Notenboomhuisje.
Prima lokatie op loop/ fietsafstand van de Kalkense Meerssen. Noteboomhuisje voorziet in alle behoeften. Heerlijke ruime douche. Wij hebben op de bedbank geslapen omdat de trap naar boven erg smal en stijl is. Sliep prima. Keuken goed ingericht met vaatwasser en koelkasten vriesvakje. Genoeg servies en glaswerk. In het huisje zie je ook iets van de geschiedenis van het perceel terug. Gastvrouw Tine was vriendelijk. In de tuin springen de eekhoorntjes in het rond met walnoten in hun bekje. Verder is de tuin voorzien van lekker zitplekken waar je kunt relaxen. Kortom: wij hebben een week lang genoten van het Notenboomhuisje.

We used it as a base, it is just right between Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels. It is quiet and with lots of nature.
We hebben het gebruikt als uitvalsbasis, het ligt precies goed tussen Gent, Antwerpen en Brussel. Het is rustig en met veel natuur.
Lovely place, well cared for with sweet details and very hospitable.
Heerlijke plek, goed verzorgd met lieve details en erg gastvrij.
