Set on a private 5-hectare estate with gardens and woods, your detached nature house, Okkernootje, is located next to our own home. The house features one bedroom/living room with a double bed and a sleeper sofa, heating, a hot rain shower, and a toilet. The partially covered patio of this cottage features a well-equipped kitchen-diner and a wood-burning stove. It flows beautifully into your garden, which includes a cozy campfire spot and a sauna. Starting in October 2026, the patio will be “hybrid.” On cold days, you can choose to close off the open sides and light the wood stove to warm your hearts as you relax on the sofa. Upon request and free of charge, the new sauna will be heated with wood. Feel free to light the sauna yourself—you can use it as often as you like. The pool is open year-round, so even in winter, you can take a cold dip or an ice bath after the sauna. Dogs are also very welcome! See you soon at Okkernoot

Nature and surroundings

The private forest is located in a quiet, wooded area. 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, expansive forests and woodlands, sand dunes, chapels, historic farmhouses, the windmill and watermill, and much more make a stay here definitely worthwhile!

    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.

    This bedroom with a toilet and bathroom has a nice and smart layout. Comfortable bed. Very spacious outdoor kitchen with a beautiful wooden table and benches.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We had a wonderful weekend. We enjoyed the greenery, the peace and quiet, the pool, cuddling with the sweet dog, and the hospitality of Ernst and Anouk. Anouk and Ernst were always available to answer questions and offer help, since the cottage is right next to their house. They were also very flexible—we were even able to use their bikes—and we felt incredibly welcome. We went home feeling completely happy and relaxed!

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.
