Amidst a beautiful natural area is our permaculture paradise that we love to open up and share with others! It is a place for peace, wonder and (nature) connection. Between a group of thick pine trees stands our cozy canvas tent. The strength and charm of our place and what we offer lies in its purity and simplicity. In the center is our ecological vegetable and flower garden and a few meters from the tent our chickens scratch. All kinds of birds sing and frogs croak you to sleep. Much of it is shared land. We also live in a chalet here, but there is plenty of room for your privacy. There are several seating and lounging areas and the tent overlooks the former swimming pond (unfortunately swimming is no longer recommended) There is a shared composting toilet and a fire pit where you can make a fire. Please note that we are no longer accessible by car, the last 700m is on foot, I'll inform you personally!
Nature and surroundings
We are located in the heart of the green Kempen, in the middle of the Grote Netewoud , a series of unique nature reserves along the Grote Nete and its tributaries. This includes nature reserve Het Griesbroek, in which we are located, with the Grote Nete in our 'backyard'. So you don't have to go far to find many forms of recreation in and around nature: hiking, cycling, adventurous nature-experiences and visiting cultural heritage. Unique drift dunes, rare trouser forests, flowery grasslands and heathland combined with old water mills and museums.... We are also on the border with the province of Limburg, perfectly located if you want to visit Bosland with its countless hiking trails or want to explore by bike in Limburg's cycling paradise. Ask for our cycling and hiking map of the region ;)

For us it was a beautiful experience to show our children that you can also choose a life where you grow your own vegetables and you live with the day and the seasons instead of according to your agenda. In the area you can enjoy hiking and cycling. Go especially to 'the bread story', a delicious bakery around the corner. And there is a very nice library, where we borrow books. Thank you for your hospitality!
Voor ons was het een mooie ervaring om onze kinderen te laten zien dat je ook kunt kiezen voor een leven waar je je eigen groente verbouwt en je leeft met de dag en de seizoenen ipv volgens je agenda. In de omgeving kun je heerlijk wandelen en fietsen. Ga vooral naar 'het broodverhaal', een heerlijke bakker om de hoek. En er zit een hele leuke bieb, waar we boeken komen lenen. Bedankt voor jullie gastvrijheid!
Peace, space and nature! The ideal place if you want to immerse yourself in the simple life, back to basics surrounded by beautiful things.
Rust, ruimte en natuur! De ideale plek als je je wilt onder dompelen in het simpele leven, terug naar de basis omringt door mooie dingen.
