A Meaningful Retreat, at the end of a dead-end path. This nature house is more than just a place to sleep: it is an essential part of the Centrum Thuis Foundation. This property is a place of Space, Peace, and Reflection, set on 1.5 hectares of toxin-free, pristine nature. Stroll through the orchard and/or walk through the rose maze to experience a sense of slowing down and stillness. We welcome guests who come for substance and experience. A place to truly settle in and come home to yourself. The property is located on a dead-end sandy path, where pheasants still wander by and the moon is visible. Recharge with peace Please note: This property has composting toilets (non-oleic). A charmingly decorated cottage, over a hundred years old. Furnishing it with thrift store treasures was a joy in itself. Come experience it for yourself. Smoking is prohibited both inside the cottage and on the entire property. Please note: The staircase leading upstairs is a wine cellar staircase and is not suitable for those with mobility issues. Yoga and meditation room Organic breakfast can be booked as an add-on. Welcome
Nature and surroundings
This nature house is located in the hamlet of Hattelaar, nestled between the floodplains of the Waal River and the Steendert Nature Reserve. The 1.5-hectare property, consisting of pesticide-free natural land, features an orchard, a greenhouse complex, two vegetable gardens, and a flower and herb garden. Since April 2026, it has featured a rose maze. Starting in the fall of 2026, it will include a ritual flower and plant garden. The name was chosen to invite you to slow down and find stillness, and to reflect a new development at the back of the property: the creation of the Garden of Meaning, which contributes to “Slow Living”; your stay supports this project. The hamlet of Hattelaar borders the Steendert nature reserve, a wonderful place for walking and biking, where you can also admire the windmill. Ophemert is situated on the Waal River with its beautiful dike and floodplains. The Betuwe region is known for its blossom routes. An information folder about the area is available in the cottage.
