Unique overnight stay in a renovated World War II bunker. Tastefully decorated with vintage and contemporary design and art. A lovely sustainable LOOF bed, cool mini kitchen, bathroom with rain shower and wifi. Also perfect as a writer's cottage or workspace. The bright space totals 24m2 and is fully insulated and has underfloor heating. In the area you can get dairy products and jam for breakfast at Zijper Zuivel on the Grote Sloot. Eggs at a stall further on and honey at beekeeper Regina. Simple dishes can be cooked in the bunker on the 2-burner stove. On the terrace is a pizza oven / BBQ Weltevree. Located on the Ruigeweg in private forest where you can relax. Beach, sea and Schagen 5 km away. A special place to really unwind!

Nature and surroundings

This bunker, built in 1944, is located on Ruigeweg in the yard of a house, studio, yurt and 1.75 acres of private forest. We ourselves live in the small house on the road and have been developing this place for almost 5 years now. You can find more information on our website. This is the last piece of forest of the Pineapple Forest which is a public forest. I have a nice walking route of 4.5 km from the yard. It is great cycling in this area between the farmlands and (in spring) the tulip fields. The beach, dunes and picturesque Schagen just 5 km away. Also the Schoorl Dunes and the Zwanenwater are beautiful natural areas to stay. For even more tips, please visit our website.

    The path leading to the bunker had a lot of overhanging vegetation, so you had to walk with your ankles brushing against all kinds of plants, not knowing whether they would prick you or not. And in wet weather, that meant wet pants and/or legs.

    A really cool, renovated World War II bunker.
    Quiet, green surroundings.
    Wonderfully cool in the summer heat.
    Be sure to bring sleep masks, though, because the curtains are only there to block the view, not to keep out the light.
    We found the road the cottage is on too dangerous to walk on, so we did everything by car.

    The accommodation is highly recommended for younger, healthier people. It is a great starting point for all kinds of activities in North Holland. You could hear the wonderful twittering of birds and the background noise of some agricultural machinery. Everything remained quiet in the bunker with the windows closed. The natural grounds are a very promising area. The yurt is certainly very inviting for people who want to spend the night closer to nature. Another bunker needs to be lovingly renovated..... An exciting project. It will grow and flourish. I am sure of that. May the place give peace and inspiration to many more people. It is in the best of hands with Marjon and her husband. We can't say anything about the activities as we are restricted in our mobility ourselves.

    We were greeted very friendly by Marjon. Marjon welcomed us and our requests were dealt with very courteously. The bunker is inviting, true to the photo. We missed some storage space for clothes. The bed was brilliant. A tall person has to tuck their head in. The front door and the door to the shower could otherwise take revenge. The shower was also great including high quality shampoo.... We missed a canopy or parasol in front of the bunker and a few comfortable, warm cushions for more comfortable chairs / loungers. We are both of an older age... The natural property suggests some plans. Healthy people without a handicap will certainly enjoy the site more. It would be exciting to see the still young project in a few years' time... We wish Marjon and J. continued success for all their visions. In the end, the site was too impassable for us. The areas around Schagerbrug and the tulip fields are picturesque. The beach in Petten is disabled-friendly, thank you Marjon

    We had a wonderful weekend in the bunker! The cottage is mega nice decorated with all kinds of funny details. We made good use of the wood stove outside and made for a relaxing evening. It is located in a wooded area that you should definitely explore.We were warmly welcomed by the owners who enthusiastically told us about their renovation on the property.The only downside I can think of is that you can hear the road it is located on quite well from the cottage, but at the same time it is so quiet that only occasionally something passes by.

You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
