Looking for tranquility and sustainable recreation? You can with our self-sufficient houseboat! This means solar panels, showering with filtered water from the lake, pellet stove and equipped with LED lighting. The boat is tastefully decorated and equipped with all the conveniences you need during your vacation. Waking up is a party because from your bed you have a wide view of the beautiful reeds, birds and the lake. In the evening with a drink on the roof terrace watching the sun set and all you hear is ..... babbling water and in the distance a bird. That is optimal enjoyment and that is what you get when you rent this houseboat. Culinary delights in the marina you can enjoy at high-end restaurant Borage. And then perhaps the best part: for even more water fun we rent our Houseboat with a beautiful and brand new boat! The price of the boat is €70.00 per day (normally €150) and is included in extra costs. That makes your stay extra special!
Nature and surroundings
The houseboat is located at the far end of the marina on the Zuidlaardermeer. The beautiful village of Zuidlaren is 10 min cycling. You will find there craft stores and plenty of nice restaurants. On the edge of the beautiful National Park Drentsche Aa lies the Zuidlaardermeer. A relatively quiet and relaxing boating area on the border of Drenthe and Groningen. Here you can enjoy swimming, fishing, supping and surfing from your own boat. Or grab our beautiful new sloop for a picnic on the water or sail to downtown Groningen to grab a terrace. How magnificent is that - something a little different from the water? Here is some inspiration for other activities in the area: Drouwenerzand Amusement Park, Sprookjeshof, Wildlands, Veenhuizen Prison Museum, Drents Museum In addition, you can enjoy hiking, bird watching and various cycling routes in the area, ideal for active nature lovers. In short: a super vacation for everyone from young to old.

My experience with this provider was extremely disappointing. Appointments were repeatedly not kept, communication was unreachable or contradictory, and positions changed every time it suited them better. Essentials (such as accessibility and timely follow-up) were completely missing. I tried several times to come to a reasonable solution, but got varying stories and no concrete action each time. What bothers me most is the lack of accountability: problems were downplayed, facts were disputed despite documentation, and deadlines were used to put pressure rather than to come to a solution. I recommend everyone to put everything in writing, not to rely on verbal commitments, and to be very critical before engaging with this party. For me, the trust is completely gone.
Mijn ervaring met deze aanbieder was extreem teleurstellend. Afspraken werden herhaaldelijk niet nagekomen, communicatie was onbereikbaar of tegenstrijdig, en standpunten wijzigden telkens zodra dit hen beter uitkwam.
Essentiële zaken (zoals bereikbaarheid en tijdige opvolging) ontbraken volledig. Ik heb meerdere keren geprobeerd tot een redelijke oplossing te komen, maar kreeg telkens wisselende verhalen en geen concrete actie.
Wat mij vooral stoort is het gebrek aan verantwoordelijkheid: problemen werden gebagatelliseerd, feiten werden betwist ondanks documentatie, en deadlines werden gebruikt om druk te zetten in plaats van om tot een oplossing te komen.
Ik raad iedereen aan alles schriftelijk vast te leggen, niets op mondelinge toezeggingen te vertrouwen en zeer kritisch te zijn voordat je met deze partij in zee gaat. Voor mij is het vertrouwen volledig weg.My experience with Nature House has been mixed. As a mediator I honestly expected more in the way a complex situation was picked up and continued towards a clear solution. At the same time I would like to mention that Nature House was always easy to reach, reacted quickly and was correct in communication. Appointments they made themselves were kept and efforts were clearly made to keep in touch and to explain matters. All in all, a platform with good intentions and pleasant accessibility, but in difficult cases the mediating role could be more solid and decisive as far as I am concerned.
Mijn ervaring met Natuurhuisje is gemengd. Als bemiddelaar had ik eerlijk gezegd meer verwacht in de manier waarop een complexe situatie werd opgepakt en doorgezet richting een duidelijke oplossing. Op dat punt voelde ik mij soms onvoldoende ondersteund.
Tegelijkertijd wil ik wel benoemen dat Natuurhuisje altijd goed bereikbaar was, snel reageerde en zich correct opstelde in de communicatie. Afspraken die zij zelf maakten, zijn nagekomen en er werd duidelijk moeite gedaan om contact te houden en zaken toe te lichten.
Al met al een platform met goede intenties en prettige bereikbaarheid, maar in lastige dossiers zou de bemiddelende rol wat mij betreft steviger en daadkrachtiger mogen worden ingevuld.This text is automatically translated.
