Set on a private 5-hectare estate featuring a vegetable garden and a food forest, your detached nature house, Okkernootje, is located next to our own home. The cottage features one bedroom/living room with a comfortable double bed, a sleeper sofa, heating, a hot rain shower, and a toilet. The patio has a well-equipped kitchen and a wood-burning stove above the dining table. The veranda flows beautifully into your garden, which features a cozy private campfire spot and a sauna. Starting October 1, 2026, the patio will be “hybrid”! On cold days, you can choose to close the sides, and on warm days, open them up. Are you a sauna lover? Upon request and at no extra cost, the new sauna will be heated with wood. Feel free to light the sauna yourself—you can use it as often as you like. It’s even included in the price. The pool is open year-round (partially in winter) so you can take a cold dip or even try an ice bath. Dogs are also very welcome!

Nature and surroundings

The private forest is located in a quiet, wooded area with small cafes and bistros. (Bicycles are available to borrow free of charge.) Antwerp is a 25-minute drive away. The area is very popular with hikers and cyclists. Grobbendonk and the surrounding area are an excellent base for an active or, conversely, a very peaceful vacation. The central location, vast forests and tree-lined paths, sand dunes, little chapels, historic farmhouses, the windmill and watermill, and much more make a stay here definitely worthwhile!

    I don't know if canoeing and boating are allowed on the nearby Albert Canal.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A particularly pleasant stay. Nestled in the middle of a 5-hectare forest in the Kempen. A wide variety of bird sounds, including the raven, the peregrine falcon, and the goldcrest. Minimal light pollution. Special amenities such as a swimming pool, sauna, and tennis court. A comfortable bed and shower in a practical and beautifully decorated accommodation. The hosts are warm and very hospitable.

    Simply amazing. Really nice people and a great location. Perfect for both relaxation and for a short trip.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Conveniently located in the heart of a private estate with a pool and sauna. The very definition of tranquility, space, and nature.

What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.

Free cancellation within 7 days of your booking confirmation, provided the booking request was made more than 28 days before the start date. For bookings starting within 28 days, free cancellation applies within 24 hours. If you cancel within the specified period, you are entitled to a full refund of the booking amount.
