An oasis of peace where cooking, artwork, music and play take center stage. Besides the equipped open kitchen there are a lounge with writing desk, a master bedroom, a (children's) room with two bunk beds and sink, a separate toilet and a bathroom with walk-in shower. The cottage is equipped with every comfort (incl. dishwasher) and fast Wifi. There are many toys for children. Both inside (board games, colors, cars, lego, ...) and outside (bikes, trampoline, sandbox) Senator Eugeen Donse had a country house built in 1935 in the woody Halle-Zoersel. As a politician, he undoubtedly had many contacts and must certainly have noticed Huib Hoste's architecture. Eugeen himself designed the country house in interwar architecture. In 2017 we were able to buy the cottage, and for more than 2 years we worked meticulously on its restoration. We brought all the comforts inside, without compromising the original architecture.
Nature and surroundings
The cottage is located in a private forest (1 hectare) that connects to a nature reserve. In the private front yard it is great to play soccer (the goals are already there), jump on the trampoline or swing in the woods. If you want to settle down with several families nearby, there might still be room at our neighbors (Fermeneelke) or the hotel 'Domein Sint Martinus'. You can enjoy what has traditionally been the 'garden of Antwerp' with forests, fens, fields, hiking trails and the river "Groot Schijn". You can also enjoy yourself in numerous catering establishments and more locally enjoy a "Trappist of Westmalle" is really not possible. The abbey is located nearby. Tips are a walk along the anti-tank canal, a donkey ride, hiking at the Vrieselhof or for the daredevils ... illegal swimming at the fortress of Oelegem. On our own property you can warm yourself at the fire pit or cook at the outdoor kitchen.

Cas General rating:We had such a good time there during the Christmas vacations that we booked a new one even during the first stay.
We hebben ons er in de kerstvakantie zo goed vermaakt, dat we nog tijdens het eerste verblijf een nieuw verblijf hebben geboekt.
Nature, peace & environment:Beautiful cozy cottage in a quiet neighborhood on a large plot with its own forest. Fully equipped and invites you to be outside a lot (even in winter). From the property you can walk into the woods and there are decent bikes available to explore the area. In addition, the outdoor fireplace was a hit for which more than enough wood is available. Same goes for the trampoline and the football field. It is nice that Antwerp is only 25 minutes away and nature and culture can therefore be perfectly combined.
Prachtig sfeervol huisje in een rustige wijk op een groot stuk grond met eigen bos. Van alle gemakken voorzien en nodigt uit om (ook in de winter) veel buiten te zijn. Vanaf het eigen terrein loop je zo de bossen in en er zijn degelijke fietsen beschikbaar om daarop de omgeving te verkennen. Daarnaast was de vuurschaal buiten een hit waarvoor meer dan voldoende hout aanwezig is. Zelfde geldt voor de trampoline en het voetvalveldje. Leuk is dat Antwerpen op slechts 25 minuten rijden ligt en natuur en cultuur hierdoor dus perfect te combineren zijn.

Marieke General rating:Fully equipped, and wonderful toys for children. Several places to sit, and a lovely fire pit.
Van alle gemakken voorzien, en heerlijk veel speelgoed voor kinderen. Diverse mogelijkheden om te zitten, en een heerlijke vuurkorf.
Nature, peace & environment:Very pleasant cottage. A very quiet place, with even a private forest. Lots to do in the area, and at and in the cottage wonderful play for our kids (3 and 6)
Zeer aangenaam huisje. Een heel rustige plek, met zelfs een eigen bos. Veel te doen in de omgeving, en bij en in het huisje heerlijk spelen voor onze kids (3 en 6)

Claudia General rating:Highly recommended for those looking for a quiet, child-friendly place in the middle of greenery.
Een absolute aanrader voor wie op zoek is naar een rustige, kindvriendelijke plek midden in het groen.
Nature, peace & environment:We had a fantastic time at the nature house in Halle-Zoersel! Thoroughly enjoyed the peace and beautiful nature around the cottage and the surrounding area. It was the ideal place to really escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In the evenings it was great to start a campfire together - a fun activity that both we and the kids enjoyed. There were also plenty of toys for the kids, which was a real plus. Highly recommended for those looking for a quiet, child-friendly place in the middle of greenery.
We hebben een fantastische tijd gehad in het natuurhuisje in Halle-Zoersel! Enorm genoten van de rust en de prachtige natuur rondom het huisje en de omgeving. Het was de ideale plek om echt even te ontsnappen aan de drukte van alledag.
's Avonds was het heerlijk om samen een kampvuurtje te stoken – een gezellige activiteit waar zowel wij als de kinderen van genoten. Er was ook genoeg speelgoed aanwezig voor de kindjes, wat echt een pluspunt was.
Een absolute aanrader voor wie op zoek is naar een rustige, kindvriendelijke plek midden in het groen.This text is automatically translated.
