Nature and surroundings

Explore the lapwing neighborhood! With the included canoe, you can explore the beautiful lapwing neighborhood. This peaceful, natural setting is the perfect setting for a relaxing trip on the water. The Kievitsbuurt is a protected nature reserve where motorboats are not allowed in the southern part, creating a serene and quiet environment full of flora and fauna. An idyllic place for those looking for peace and adventure in nature! The narrow strips of land and vast lakes at Scheendijk and the Loosdrechtse Plassen are the result of centuries of peat extraction. Originally this area was a swampy peat landscape, reclaimed by farmers and monasteries in the Middle Ages. To extract as much peat as possible, narrow strips of peat were dug away, with the released peat being placed on adjacent strips to dry. The result was this beautiful area.

    It really is a unique overnight spot, lovingly made and decorated and having access to a canoe is a big plus. We ran out of electricity on day two (solar panels) but there was a charged power bank ready (although you hardly use your phone in that place). There is enough light in the evening even without power because of the lights that were already charged and then you only miss the cooler (luxury problem).

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We were really looking forward to a beautiful tent house on the water, only accessible by water and it was really beautiful and special too. The area is beautiful and the floaty was located on a quiet little island and is very cozy, basic yet quite comfortable. We swam a lot, enjoyed the cottage and the beautiful place and explored the area by canoe (the Muyeveldse Wetering canoe route). The sunset was beautiful, jumping straight into the water from your bed in the morning and late at night very quietly with the canoe is also a must (remember where the house is located). This is a place to come back to.

    Fantastic place

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We had a great weekend at this beautiful place. Unique overnight stay for when you want to unwind in the middle of nature. Wake up overlooking the water and fall asleep under the stars by the full moon. Great swimming directly from the canvas floaty. Explored the area by canoe and lit the bbq. All amenities provided and there was even a cozy vase of flowers inside. We will definitely come back here again to fully enjoy!
